| Multichannel power amplifers VS 2 channel power amplifiers There are no multi-channel anything that can keep up with stereo. The choice is clear. Either you want quality, in which case you want stereo, or you want quantity, in which case knock yourself out buying as many things as they can stuff in a box ... | |
| burn in - how important? Not only burn-in but warm up, figured this one out 30 years ago. First someone said SS should be left on, sounds better. My vintage 1970's Kenwood integrated, how is it gonna get any more burned in? Left it on 24/7 a few weeks. No difference. Or s... | |
| Basis Audio Fans Most of em. Just look at Basis. Same old slabs of acrylic and aluminum, only more and thicker. Kind of like VPI. Same old stuff. Teres Audio was way better for the money, and that was 20 years ago. Vacuum clamping massive platters and plinth, this... | |
| Better Records Hot Stampers: Or, how I learned to stop collecting and love listening Thanks, and thanks for persevering and starting a new discussion. Another really neat thing about Better Records that often goes unmentioned in the rush to get the sound quality message out, is the quality of the album cover. They are not always p... | |
| A new way of adjusting anti skate! The 10% rule comes from the number of audiophiles who overthink even the simplest thing to the point it is complicated to incomprehensibility. Then after making something as simple as playing a record darn near impossible they wonder why more don'... | |

| Opinions & experiences with tube coolers Can't always rely on a cooler. Sometimes the old ways are best. | |
| amplifier longevity The best valve amps with point to point wiring are more reliable and long-lived than anything solid state. Except every once in a while over time one of the valves can spring a leak. | |
| "Transferred from original analogue master tapes" What it is supposed to mean is they used the original master tapes to cut the LP. But notice this is a compilation. So, think about it. Records are cut on a cutting lathe. They don’t stop the cutting lathe between tracks to change tapes. This is ... | |
| Basis Audio Fans My first table was a Basis, 2001 I think. Great thing about Basis, they do have loyal fans. At any rate it was sure nice to be able to sell mine after almost a dozen years for almost exactly what I paid for it. Hopefully the fan base will remain s... | |

| The Boss is the Bo$$ Yeah, it is tragic. Never go full libtard. | |
| Soldering Help The comments auxinput makes about parts like the board being a heat sink are why it takes practice to solder well. Proper technique involves heating the parts to be soldered to where the solder will melt when touched to the wire. This ensures sold... | |
