HiFi News Test Record Azimuth
The mirror method will properly orient the diamond and if the cartridge is well made the coils also. What is the mirror method? If the cartridge is well made then the stylus is aligned with the cantilever is aligned with the generator is aligned ... 
Townshend Maximum Supertweeters
Extreme low and extreme high frequencies are so completely different, yet similar in the way we don't so much hear as experience them. With really low bass the big surprise is the way it creates the sensation of being in a larger space, even with ... 
Need help placing a second subwoofer.
1111art- But by what I'm hearing, the main sub shouldn't be front and center like mine is, but closer to the main speakers and probably lightly forward because of time delays of the lowest frequencies, is this correct? Correct in the sense that ... 
Three cheers for Keith Herron
I don't think it is so much Keith that has retired as the VTPH2A. Even that is not so much retired as discontinued. The reason he gave is due to inflation the price he would have to charge now would be "astronomical" and so he will build no more. ...

What’s the biggest mismatch you’ve seen, heard, or done?

Power cord choice?

Hobby? I thought it was a calling? 
To Stream or not to Stream
Yeah. Why don't you cross that stream when you come to it? 
Power cord choice?
That makes a lot of sense. 15A inlets, esp with the female connectors having that notch in it, makes for a swiveling connection. I was advised, and will do it soon, to wrap the connection in Teflon tape to tighten the fit. Funny you should mention... 
Binding Post Loose tweeter connection.
Out of warranty?   First determine where is the break? The terminals you are seeing are the outer part connecting through the driver frame to wires inside that connect to the voice coil. A common modders trick is to bypass that connection and sold...

My favorite is to mix real pain killers with alcohol. Get drunk enough and your expectation bias goes sky high! The trick is to get the Amazon drone to deliver while you still have a full placebo effect buzz on. Eventually of course you will barf ...

People who think this kind of crazy impossible to understand stuff cannot possibly work should come hear my system. They would totally freak.
