Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend!
prof, Your imaging will be at least as good. The only thing is Podiums add another level to positioning. Each corner has to be free to move side to side as well as up and down. This makes them a little more bother to get everything just right. Onc...

Right. As Spock might say, "A dazzling display of illogic."Where was I? Oh yes, the turntable.  At some point last year someone around here- if anyone knows who it was please chime in so they can get due credit - was talking about how great TA-102... 
New to vinyl - How to get the best out of old classical discs?
A set of $30 Nobsound springs under that table will do wonders for all your music but especially classical where ringing imparts a hardness on the strings. Your turntable is light enough to only need about 3 of the 7 springs per each pod. This wil... 
Listening at Night vs. Day
I have come to believe that my stereo sounds better when it is being powered from the house inverters than it does when it is being powered from the grid. Of course it does. Makes perfect sense to me. 
Do you all agree when Prince said the 60s, 70s and 80s were the golden ages of music?
Of course Prince is right. In terms of rock it was definitely a golden age. Since rock was the predominant music of those decades then for sure. What he was saying about performers having to be "on their game" was even more true of the performers ...

Everything by ear. There are times and places for everything. Amateurs messing with measurements is more often than not like a monkey trying to fix a helicopter with a ball peen hammer. Sorry. It just is. Not that it isn't good for a lot of entert...

Okay sure. But what good would reading up do if the reading up misses the point and jumps to a lot of unwarranted conclusions? I didn’t choose the inferior platter. You can’t find anything here to indicate that. Matter of fact the lead shot platte... 
ORANGE Fuse rejected
I can totally understand someone prefers another fuse to Orange. But to not be able to tell which is the correct direction robs all other observations of any value. It is like, imagine someone says they prefer one speaker over another. Okay. Fine.... 
Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend!
If you like what you're hearing now Townshend will be a revelation. Everything you are hearing now, only due to the damping you will get back some of the slam impact feel, probably a bit more extension, and find an amazing improvement in being abl... 
ORANGE Fuse rejected
Hey look only 1,602 more and my posts can start being relevant again!

Direction is determined by listening, not by reading.

Yes the Blackhawk review is coming ozzy62! I was on the phone yesterday with Dave Thompson gleaning more fascinating tidbits to sprinkle on my already sparkling prose. It’s just with the Raven now the Melody needs to find a new home, and this thre...

News flash rauliruegas, it is all subjective opinion with no true real foundation/facts that prove anything. You may think otherwise but guess what? That is just your opinion without any true real foundation/facts that can prove it in any way. You... 
The Miller Carbon Story
The story has been told before but bears repeating. One day back around 1992 the Technics SL1700 bought in 1976 and stored for nearly a decade was dug out of the garage and hooked up. The Stanton 681EEE cantilever was bent, but straightened out pr...

Microfiber dust off the platter beginning every session. Damp cloth tone arm every month or so. Every once in a while wipe off the shelf and granite. The next one will probably get a proper acrylic cover. Floating, hinged off the wall, no part of ...
