| I Pulled the Trigger on the Gaia IIIs. Another Very Positive Tweak! Next Up Schumann! That's Moab weight. You can get at least as good sound as Gaia from ordinary springs for around $30-50. But you have to shop around eBay hunting for the right springs, and then build your own platform. Which is what I did, and it was extremely imp... | |
| Why not more popular? The wheel has come round once more. Open baffle seems to be enjoying a little flash in the pan status these days. It is easy to see why. First, they weren't made for a long time. Someone is always looking for the next shiny new thing, and if it ha... | |
| Built a DIY butcher block and iron pipe rack over the weekend This one is solid cast concrete and sand. The legs are ABS filled with cast concrete. The whole thing weighs about 700 lbs yet can be moved and set up relatively easily as it is modular in design, you bring each piece in and assemble on the spot. ... | |
| Can someone please explain Some mussels are congenital. Just ask Arnold's maid. | |
| The SHOW 2021 is a Go! Yeah but way more zombies screeching wear a mask yay! Get those masks ready guys! Yay! My mind is pure slush, yay! Ran into a couple people lately been on vacation in Florida, where they would never even know there is anything to worry about. The... | |
| Is the spade size an issue sonically if it’s larger than the contact area ? They really spell it Nuclear Never Seez? Wow. | |
| Headband type magnifier w/ lights for TT setup Yikes! I am all in favor of doing your own setup but if your eyes are that bad maybe Dirty Harry is right, a man's got to know his limitations! I like to use an ordinary headlamp. But really, no turntable setup should be done in your listening ro... | |
| Help in deciding between these two cartridges for an upgrade I would totally go with the Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC https://sound-smith.com/cartridges/fixed-coil/zephyr-mimc-%E2%98%86Fremer loved the earlier version. The new one incorporates a lot of improvements notably to the body and with the new DEMS design... | |
| Equipment Maintenance/Cleaning So what he said, get a more supple hose for your Dyson. The one cleaning you really should be doing, but no one does, is at least once a year disconnect everything and clean all the contacts. Clean the RCA, power plugs, tube pins, everything you c... | |
| Requesting recommendations for phono stage No, he told me he was down to the last two, that was a little while ago, I figured by now he must be done. But turns out he still has a few more to build. In any case it is not that Keith Herron is done, it is just that he won't be ordering parts ... | |
| Any thoughts on using the supplied power cord for a PS Audio PWT vs. seeking an upgrade The first thing you should know is freebie rubber power cords are supplied for one reason and one reason alone, and that is so some day when you go to sell and you have all the original packaging you can say to the buyer buy with confidence I have... | |
| Possibly Ignorant Power Question Keep it simple. Forget power, forget ohms. Focus on speaker sensitivity. When speaker sensitivity is high this is telling you they can be easily driven by a wide range of amplifiers regardless of power. A speaker with 98dB sensitivity for example ... | |
| Synergistic Research Galileo SX Power cord. (Opinions on sound quality appreciated). Wow that could be a Who's Who of the most aggressively ignorant posters of the last year or so. Could it be he is now jasonbourne52? After being the clown with the Ducati? Who knows? Who cares? Ignore the ignoramuses. Just ignore them. I have not ... | |
| I must be old If you prefer the noise that is CD to music on vinyl, go for it. | |
| Synergistic Research Galileo SX Power cord. (Opinions on sound quality appreciated). jasonbourne52- so do you take a custom hose with you when you go to add gasoline to your car? In the belief that it will improve gas mileage? That is exactly what the belief in an "improved" AC cord is: A DELUSION!No one here does that. But you ke... |
