Listening to digital and analog
BTW, the Michael Jackson reference, he OD’d on .... wait for it.... propofol. Oh and smashing the record player that is supposed to be so clever, is of course a pathetic ripoff.     https://youtu.be/fjsSr3z5nVk?t=39 
Listening to digital and analog
The truth is whatever we are willing to believe as true. In other words, we may very well believe things that are not true. We're made that way which is why we should try to accept other people's opinions no matter how wrong they are. The post... 
Next step in Turntable
A SOTA with Origin Live Conqueror (or thereabouts) https://www.originlive.com/hi-fi/tonearm/#premiumrange will certainly deliver otherworldly level performance. Then later on when you are ready for a new cart, Soundsmith SG1 and you are set.   
Marty Stuart on Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers:
So the band became The Band. I see. So it was form over substance from the beginning then.  
Blown away by a vinyl version of a CD?
Been there, know what you mean. First time listening to a really good turntable, it happened to be a Linn LP12 but could have been just about anything, I was floored! Absolutely gobsmacked! Especially since it wasn't even a good record, just one t... 
Marty Stuart on Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers:
For sure better than those ones you mentioned. Geez. I have to think you were deliberately trying to be funny. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers all by itself eclipses the entire body of work of those other, who were they again? lol! 
Adding 2 Channel to my HT system and need some input on options
Any stereo will improve detail simply because HT squashes detail. I would look at new speakers, not so much because ML are bad as they are so inefficient your hands are tied and amplifier choices severely restricted. Those 89dB Kharma will not be ...

Lousy IEC Connections
Which reminds me, what a walrus has in common with Tupperware: they both like a tight seal.   
How much difference does a phono preamp really make?
The most important component by far is the modem. Without that I am unable to connect to pay the utility bill, without which there is no power, and no system, and the power cannot even be turned back on. So it is definitely the modem. Or any other... 
Stands or no stands
That's what I mean, it will shift the overall tonal balance quite a bit. But may be a good tradeoff, especially if willing to tweak as this guy did. Crossovers are pretty easy to adjust this way. It could be something as simple as a higher value r... 
My Apologies to Miller Carbon
Always figured the followers outnumber the haters by a sizeable number. Still, this is so gratifying to see. Also good to see most get that the humor is.... humor. Awesome thread. Love you guys! (And Krissy- but you already know that😍❤️). asvjerry... 
How to isolate turntable from footstep shake or vibration
Engineer, you say. Did they drive you out of the profession? Because all the engineers around here are the worst most tone deaf pontificators of that which does not in reality work I have ever seen. You must be a pariah or something. Welcome! Welc... 
Stands or no stands
Understand the higher off the floor the less bass reinforcement. But also the top end dispersion will change as well. You may or may not like it, and the only way to be sure is to try it and see. Bear in mind stands for trying something like this ... 
Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told!
Not only that, which is all true, but Tom told me his prices are actually lower today than years ago. Because the time and effort required to sift through the dreck and find the diamond hasn't changed. But his volume has gone up to where he can af...
