SoundSmith cartridges how good?
@slaw I was thinking of the Sussurro but from some other posters do you think jumping all in for a SG cartridge would be wiser? Never listened to a SG before. That is what I plan on doing when the time comes. All the reviews and comments point to... 
Audiophiles & Snake Oil!
I love the first comment to this video where the guy who used to work at Audio Note calls the measurement freaks "scope jockeys". Can I borrow that?Sure. But the preferred term is measurebator. 
T6.3AL250v Fuse: Slow or Fast Blow???????
When I paste into my browser it says slow. If you are wrong and it is fast and you need slow the cost could be as high as a buck and change. 
Are there any preamps that can work with 2 amps and a sub woofer?
Use a Line Out Converter to go from one power amp to the sub.  
Would I have enough power?
It's not the tube, nor the power. It's the 88dB speakers. 
Game Changing Tweak
And please tell me you are not into tweaking your vehicle’s brakes Oh, the ignorance. Back when I was a Porsche Club of America Driving Instructor and it was time to replace my brakes I went to one of the most experienced Porsche techs in the the... 
Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review
Oh, I got another tip that allowed me to raise and lower my 140+lb Moabs with one hand: leverage! Take a 2x4 about 18" long and cut a bevel on one end. Leave the 2x4 only about 1/4" thick at the end and it will slide right under the Podium. Then p... 
Where to locate Equipment?
Its not. But if ever someone says anything once, and it gets repeated, then before you know it everyone is saying it and convinced it must be true because.... someone said it. 
Tube Amp in Snowpiercer
One does not simply listen to Bose.    
The Intellectual People Podcast - Galen Gareis (Former Belden Wire Designer)
It was easy to imagine videos like this being made 30 to 40 years ago. Back in the late 1980's to early 1990's the idea of wire being an important component was rare and unusual. Stereo Review was after all one of the nations largest high end audi... 
Why would anyone want class AB amp when class A always sounds better ?
Miller, what's wrong ? Give us an example. I'll give it myself. Gryphon Diablo 300 class AB integrated sounds better than Sugden class A integrated. But it's not a fair comparison, not what I mean, of course. Well honestly now I don't know what... 
Where to locate Equipment?
Everyone knows the advantages of having nothing between the speakers. It is on paper totally the way to go. What I realized a long time ago however is it comes at a very steep cost. Speaker cables and/or interconnects must be the highest possible ... 
Schumann Resonator
To my ears the resonator sounds as if it adds space to a system that is already wall to wall. This added space seems to come with a higher degree of focus and detail and with a more stable image all across the wall. The image seemed wider more... 
Why would anyone want class AB amp when class A always sounds better ?
Why would anyone want class AB amp when class A always sounds better ? Because Class A does not always sound better. Obviously. 
Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review
What I did was to first of all screw both the upper and lower adjusters down to as low as they would go. This automatically levels the base, at least if the floor is level.   Then I "walk" the speaker up onto the Podium- first tilt to one side so ...
