| Modding/tweaking my system You're on the right track with what you're doing but the things you're using are getting all the poor results I would expect. That mat material you're using is more for quieting cars than audio gear. A much better material is TA-102 fO.q tape. Thi... | |
| How long do you or should you keep your gear. One of those topics that people do not need some guy on the internet to tell them what they should do. See Jerry? And you thought I was a wanker. It's a very trivial thing on the grand scale of things after all, eh? Same point, driving it ... | |
| Soldering Help You got good advice on what to use. My question is, Why? Before you go applying a lot of heat it is good to know where and what and why? Because you can buy all the greatest gear, and then if you don't know what you're doing easily overheat a trac... | |
| $1,500 phono upgrade worth it? You're new to this, unable to tell the difference between hiss and hum, and think records are supposed to sound like digital. Sorry. Whole point is they don't sound like digital. Along with totally superior sound quality comes a pretty obvious tr... | |
| Classic rocker IRA? Been listening to Michael Saylor. Selling to buy the apex asset, bitcoin. | |
| If you have a CD Player, you need to do this periodically... itsnotjustyou- Let me explain. No amount of techno-jargon can change the fact you derided a tweak that works. Not that I don't have some sympathy, you are trapped in a false paradigm. Here's the thing: it is not on me to explain why anything works... | |
| If you have a CD Player, you need to do this periodically... Merry Christmas! | |
| Need Amp recommendation Steve's DNA amps are the best solid state I have heard. Had one myself years ago, very nearly as good as tubes. Very close. Might be a stretch and hard to find but when you consider how they hold their value it is practically like getting a free a... | |
| HOW CRITICAL ARE JUMPER CABLES If? Good one. | |
| Room Treaments - Where To Begin... Appreciate your insight. Excuse my lack of knowledge, but if my speakers (Spendor D9.2) are base spiked to carpet, aren’t they already effectively isolated? No. Not at all. Not that a lot of people haven’t been misinformed into thinking this. T... | |
| Stylus pressure setting If it is sitting atop a rack then try a set of Nobsound springs. Only $30 and you won't believe the improvement! Nobsound come with 7 springs per corner. Usually a turntable will only need 2 to 4. This leaves you with a lot of spare springs. Dri... | |
| Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components He probably didn’t cut anything open, the guy doesn’t even have a stereo, speakers, or anything. Just a keyboard he uses to type "hate" a thousand different ways. Takes lousy pictures too. The key to the whole thing is a tiny little vent hole dri... | |
| If you have a CD Player, you need to do this periodically... Itsnotjustyou, an awful lot of audiophiles also don't know CD is not digital. Anyways, not on me to explain how or why something works, just that it does in fact make a difference I can hear. The rest is on you. | |
| If you have a CD Player, you need to do this periodically... There's a number of good tracks on that disc. I burned the two demagnetizing tracks onto a CD one after the other repeating several times so they can easily be played and demagnetize during warmup. The effect is not huge, but definitely is there. ... | |
| Stacking mats on Technics SP-10R Stacking mats will jack VTA so far out of kilter I'm amazed anyone who cares at all about sound quality would even consider it. Especially since what it means is trying to center the record by hand. So imagine, you got a record on a stack of mat... |
