Length of speaker cables
Right. If all you do is cut one down I doubt you'll hear any difference. Or put it this way, what little there is will pale to nothing compared to the amp. Whereas you could easily upgrade the cable enough to be an obviously greater improvement th... 
Length of speaker cables
The improvement will be huge. But not because of the shorter length, but only if you use this as an opportunity to upgrade to better cables. That will be huge. 
Springs under turntable
Hey thanks for the photo. So your table is over 60 lbs and it looks like you removed a few springs?   Are you going to try them (the ones you removed) under some of your other gear? 
Springs under turntable
Just a simple MDF platform with a spring in each corner that I built to test the concept. A very crude version of a Townshend spring platform but it gets the job done. Will make another better looking one in a few weeks and then maybe post some ne... 
Springs under turntable
My DIY Spring Thing worked so well under my Moabs I tried the same only with rubber bands under speaker cables. That worked so well I used the same rubber band suspension under power cords and interconnect. That worked so well the plan is to suspe... 
Springs under turntable
Interesting timing. I just got three sets of different springs to try under mine. Do you have them directly under the turntable, or under the wood shelf the table is on? Does it bobble around under torque when the motor starts up, or when changing... 
Battery backup copes with musical transients
No such thing as an AC battery. What you have is some sort of power storage unit with its own built-in charger that converts AC to DC to charge the battery, and inverter that converts DC to AC to power your house. All this converting is highly iro... 
My venture into the world if demagnitizing vinyl. Your results may vary.

Replacement amp for subwoofer
Stretch the budget a bit and you could get the Dayton SA1000 which is one mighty fine sub amp and the one I use in my DBA. https://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-sa1000-subwoofer-amplifier-rack-mountable--300-811I'm using 2 but you really only... 
What other hobby...
I'm into movies. To infinity, and beyond! 
Conrad Johnson or PrimaLuna
donvito, that Melody amp was purchased 12 years ago. Back when we all thought China would join the free world, long before we knew about the official CCP policy of unrestricted warfare. Long before we had seen it in action. So things change, and w... 
Room temperature and audio fidelity.
So come winter the plan is to open windows and doors fire up the AC and experience sound that literally is to die for. From hypothermia, that is. 
What's going on with Synergistic Research fuses?
So pretty much nobody really interested in what they are doing with the fuse. Meanwhile, back at the millercarbon ranch, while you all carp and cavil he’s applying all the little things you all work so hard to dismiss and getting sound that is to ...

Warning. Do not do this with your record on the TT. You will ruin your cartridge. Which you would know.... how? Only if you ruined yours, I would say. Otherwise....Look at my system. Please. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 There in imag... 
What other hobby...
Right. They all do. Any time anything seems simple, look around, you're missing something.
