VINYL SUCKS!
Vinyl is the worst format in all of audio- except for all the others. 
Turntable Power Cord Upgrade
The sound of a component starts with the power supply - not what comes before it! Physics 101!ย False.ย Only if the power supply is perfect.ย No power supply is perfect.Whatever noise or fluctuations are on the incoming AC, some of that will always m... 
Backup Generator transfer switch
If all you do is add a transfer box, essentially nothing more than a box with some switches, one switch per circuit you want to be able to transfer, then no problem. That is what I did. When power cuts out I start up the generator, plug it in and ... 
Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review
In hindsight it makes perfect sense. When we do something to the system, electronics or components, it affects the signal and so it does pretty much the same thing to everything across the board. So play a record, any record, you hear the improved... 
Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told!
Right. The difference is huge. The Year of the Cat MoFi I had recently was so awful I sent it to Tom for him and the boys to get a good laugh out of it. There's a Pink Floyd DSOTM remaster I bought many years ago that one day I decided to pull out... 
Turntable Power Cord Upgrade
My very first turntable mod was to hard wire a better power cord onto the Basis motor. There was no IEC so it had to be soldered. It was a very inexpensive power cord. Well, I wasn't about to go cutting up an expensive one for an experiment now wa... 
REGA Turntable Planar 2: Glass Platter question
Sure. Why not? How else are you going to know which way you like better?

Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review
Right, the improvements these things make, some of them will be familiar and similar to other stuff. Dynamics, clarity, imaging, etc. But some of it like more natural lifelike timbre and tone affects so many different instruments, some of them it ... 
Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told!
Nothing like that on my copy. Walking on a Thin Line has a great bass line, all the rest is average, not great, not bad, just average. Right on par with Alan Parsons Tales of Mystery and Imagination, not as good as Dream Weaver. I do have lots of ... 
Audio Companies with Integrity??
Uh, well then I am screwed. Nothing kills a joke worse than having to explain it. And I thought the whole perfect sound forever narrative thing was a dead giveaway. (Just in case it has escaped anyone's attention I am virtually "Release the Krak... 
Schumann Resonator
I would be tempted to try these things if I could hear of any positive blind tests, which should be quite easy to perform. If it's so easy, and you want it so bad, do it yourself. Those of us who can hear, why should we spend three seconds provi... 
Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review
Lucky mine weren't like that. As I was following tracking it went from 2pcs to 1pc and I was like Where's the other one? Then it would show, and ultimately DHL gets them both here together. If I had one and not the other, arrggghghgh! Review Monday?? 
Audio Companies with Integrity??
You know you're screwed when you walk into a shop and see glowing tubes. Before you know it you're spinning vinyl and questioning the whole perfect sound forever narrative. Such dealers are totally subversive. There oughta be a law....
