Isolation solution for curved bottom floor standers?
Thanks guys. Those articulating feet look nice but I’m not sure they provide a whole lot of isolation do they? None. That's meant as a joke. Well okay maybe not meant, but is anyway. Seriously. Constantly amazed the lack of .... nevermind.  Towns... 
Can Static Destroy Electronics?
Try it and see. Those grounds are all the same. That is, the ground on the phono stage is chassis ground, whether its the ground screw used or any other screw that goes into the chassis. Same for the amp. These all go to ground.  Where you can run...

Best so far: Happy hunting, Mr. Wick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjFKALOxB0UFor one gold coin I will eliminate your problem. But it will have to be done under the table.

Cafe Blue   The 45rpm 1Step reissue is absolutely incredible! 
D’agostino integrated amp vs their amp and a tubed pre amp setup.
I am new to high FidelityBut I’m trying to design a system that has the warm tones of a tube amp with greater more efficient power. A common enough mistake. In reality its never power. No one ever needs more than about 50 watts. What they need i... 
Preamp choices:Short list
Nearly all components have massive transformers mounted way over on one side in order to keep them away from sensitive circuits. Because of this its very hard to find anything that is truly balanced. A simpler solution is to just move the springs ... 
Reed 3P armboard mounting
fonicsmith- As I have stated multiple times in this forum and only had agreement from the experts here, P-S is not an exacting spec, assuming a slotted headshell. Your cartridge and stylus have no idea about and don't give a crap about P-S so l...

Townshend Podiums. Call John Hannant. Tell him I sent you. If Podiums won't work (should, but you never know) then ask about Pods. They are threaded on top so you may be able to screw them directly in place of existing spikes or whatever footers a... 
A deeper more holographic soundstage.
Several positive comments about Schumann generators, which I have not tried, so I'm intrigued. What should I look for when selecting one? It looks like there's a lot to choose from but really its one or two almost identical circuit boards and what... 
Bigger drivers = bigger soundstage
Hmmm... you don't say. My current speakers are larger cabinets and larger drivers and do image slightly better than the previous somewhat smaller ones. So I guess you're right. But the ones before that were even smaller and had the best most 3D im... 
How are speakers improved?
Just want to say how frustrating it is to see a title and it seems good and so you click only to realize aw dang its him again. What a waste. That's all. Bye. 
McCORMACK DNA-1
Had one of those myself. Mighty fine amp. Get hold of Steve have him upgrade it.  
Have you re-visited analog, or did you never leave?
I have to keep thinking up new ways to tell the tale, because it is by now and if you’ll pardon the expression a bit of a broken record. Being 63 growing up in the 70’s it was all records. Yes some kids had 8-track, and cassette, but even a zit-fa...

In less time than it takes to read this thread, let alone try out all the many ideas, you could stick a few pieces of fO.q tape on your tone arm and have a sonic improvement you can actually hear.  Just sayin. 
Upgrade: will I hear it?
I'd go for the auction. Bidding wars can drive price higher than you'd think.
