DISCUSSION: "It only comes out at night". Does anyone else have this experience!?
 I can’t recall what the “technology” is called, but all my equipment is behind a UPS that completely isolates AC output from AC input by reconstituting the AC voltage and sine wave from a bank of DC batteries. But, I still notice it. Right.... 
How do you know when a stereo sounds good?
So you're the one.  Move to the right.  The left lane is for passing not camping lost in the music.  In what country? Here in America the left lane is for drones. The middle lane is for trucks. The right lane is for getting on and off. So what ... 
The Big Misconception About Electricity
Commenting on videos that you are not going to watch, and critiquing evidence that you are not going to see, is borderline demented.  Again with the evidence. What evidence?  
The Big Misconception About Electricity
After your last waste of time video not about to waste another hour. If you think there's "evidence" why can't you just say so? I can explain clearly why it is bunk. At least give me a time stamp. Or are you saying the entire hour is evidence? Wha... 
The Big Misconception About Electricity
Yes, Venus and Mars are planets. Very astute. What evidence is there that only a few thousand years ago they "moved close to the earth"?  
The Big Misconception About Electricity
The evidence suggests that only a few thousand years ago planets moved close to the earth, producing electrical phenomena of intense beauty and terror. I'll probably regret this but can't help asking, What evidence? And which planets?  
How do you know when a stereo sounds good?
Anyone heard a stereo system they thought sounded bad? I have. First one was a guy who bought only used Stereophile Class A components. Never in my life saw a more prestigious looking system sound so bad. I don’t mean not good either. I mean ba... 
Do speaker wires have to be the same length for each speaker?
ok another question, can I splice 12 ga. to say 14 ga. wire? I don't have a high end system, just don't want to spend $$ on a roll of wire if I can avoid it. Old Pioneer sx980 w/ klipsh forte ii, standard A/T turntable + cambridge CD player. Ye... 
Humm from phono but not dc or aux ?
  have to turn it up to 12 o’clock hear faint Radio station actually too low to even make out what they are saying. But that’s way louder that I would ever listen to just past 9 o’clock is abut the limit. At last! This level of noise is not ... 
Phono Preamp upgrade
My advice, don't mess around with baby steps. With digital, okay. That stuff gets old so fast. A good phono stage though, well worth the money.  I get you are thinking, "$600 turntable, $1k phono stage, sounds about right." If this will be the en... 
DISCUSSION: "It only comes out at night". Does anyone else have this experience!?
As with most things audio it is not any one thing but rather a bunch of them all together that makes the difference. Try coming home at 2AM firing your system up cold and see how it sounds. So one reason it sounds better late at night is it always... 
Turntables thump when turning off?
Best practice is change the input or mute every time. If you think that's a hassle, maybe after you call the electrician, re-wire your house, and six weeks later still have the same problem, you will have a shall we say somewhat different perspect... 
What, in your opinion, should the rules be for YouTube Reviews?
Winner winner chicken dinner!  
Finally Learned: Subs serve much larger role than adding more low bass
Yes. And transforming my little listening room into a large concert hall sure sounds like some kind of magical atmospheric enhancement to me!  
Humm from phono but not dc or aux ?
Eliminating faint levels of noise in a phono stage comes down to methodically checking and testing every single thing involved, trying lots of things to see what works. Faint white noise could be anything from a slightly dirty cartridge pin that l...
