Vibration control on power versus signal
You're welcome. My pleasure. I think it was David Pritchard turned me onto ECT and HFT. Sounded crazy but he seemed sane enough so I gave em a try. First thing I do is try them where they are not supposed to work. I do this with a lot of stuff, ju... 
Vibration control on power versus signal
My conditioner is built on a BDR Black Beauty, similar to a Shelf but without the pretty carbon fiber. DJ made it and gave it to me for being such a terrific guy. Seriously. The BB is threaded and had BDR Cones screwed into the bottom. Until recen... 
Synergistic Blue
I first used these on my Melody tube integrated. Real effective, about equivalent to a pretty decent power cord. Same on my Herron phono stage, which uses tubes and is about equivalent to a preamp in terms of current draw. Speaking of which, why y... 
Amplifier Break-in - It's Real
The community needs to gain some perspective on how much of a range of perception humans have from day to day while listening. It’s complete nonsense to think that we are more consistent than electronics, or that we can definitively assess changes... 
Vibration control on power versus signal
When I came up with the rubber band idea the first thing I tried it on was speaker cables. Nice improvement. Next, interconnects. About as good. Well what about power cords? Sure enough. This game of how much on which can be fun I guess. It is int... 
How to isolate turntable from footstep shake or vibration
The scientist in you saves you then. Being trained in inquiry you know how to study things. That one thing all by itself was worth all the years of schooling.  
warmest speaker cables you've heard?
My amp got so hot it started glowing red. Oh, wait a minute...

Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told!
Yes clean records sound better. Yes demag works. No the Walker is not permanent. No Tom does not turn records into Hot Stampers by cleaning and waving a Talisman over them.He even says on his site these are things they do just before playing one. ... 
Distributed Bass Array configuration
Of course not. Especially not since I agree, at least in my disdain for experts, and credentialism in general.What gets me is what I said- asking very specifically for the advice of people with a DBA. But then when you get it you go with the advic... 
My Apologies to Miller Carbon
tsushima1, Are you really trying to say that as fast as the caps can charge (milliseconds) that is all there is to it and the amp is as good as it is ever going to sound? Because that seems to be the implication. Admittedly always hard to be sure ... 
Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told!
Reissues of any price then, if it makes you feel any better. Point is this is where the sound quality is at. Hot Stampers. Not reissues. Don't need no White Hot to trounce MoFi. Don't need Super Hot. Regular old Hot will do the job just fine. Whit... 
Distributed Bass Array configuration
So in spite of terrific testimony you asked for- actual experience- you are playing around with the advice of one who has no actual experience. Par for the course. Oh well.Moving along... In the interest of helping others following along, here is ... 
Putting together turntable rig

Stands or no stands
So what you're saying, we can't punish the criminal until we remove the root cause of the crime? ;)   How about you lock him up, and Rick and I spring him loose?
