put tube amp on to shelf of a rack
No good. He needs one small enough the forks fit between the rack. Forget Lowes, think Tonka.  The way to do it is with two pieces of peg board or other appropriately sized boards that are smooth on one side. Place them one on top of the other lea... 
Sam here and this goes much deeper than i ever thought.
I'll take your word for it. Did you write that yourself or was it cut and pasted off one of those Goolag Translate pages? 
Tweaking the new Grado Timbre Sonata 3
Everything gets a little more liquid with time. But I would expect that by 10 hours you got what you got. If you can't hear VTA then for sure you're not gonna hear whatever slight changes the next 50 hours brings.  How are you changing VTA, and by... 
... Should I be concerned?
volume effects the outgoing signal but does not have any effect on the signal. It simply makes the signal “louder”. 😂 Clear as mud. And exactly backwards. Amplifiers are fixed gain. They multiply (amplify) input by a fixed amount. Volume controls ... 
ls FM radio even listenable any more?
millercarbon here and for me it would seem you have answered your own (rhetorical) question yet again. Sort of. You kind of left us dangling there without the period. 24 hours of 80's.... what?That last sentence by the way, the one without a perio...

Ideal dimensions is a fantasy.  
Turntable placement and isolation
The floor is the best place by far. Its very difficult to make a rack that is as good as the floor. I know. Mine was on the floor for years. When I finally developed a turntable rack better than the floor this is what it looks like https://systems... 
I underestimated the impact a new cartridge would have
My first Benz was a Micro Glider back in the 90's. Superb cartridge. After that came a Benz Ruby H. All the same great Benz qualities, only in much bigger doses. The same only better as they say. Really like that sound and really happy, nothing to... 
Turntable issue
Was this thing shipped in all original factory packaging? Because this is exactly the kind of damage I would expect if someone put the table in a box with the platter still in place in the table. Which is the very last thing anyone should ever do.... 
Signal to Noise Ratio and Amplifier Distortion
You’re right about SNR, that’s what it is all right, signal to noise. Try and keep in mind that a lot of these measurements go back to early days when these things were still real problems people were trying to sort out. Back in the day when stati... 
Need opinions on cartrige for Audio Research ph3
The Herron is so much better its hard to believe. You will be amazed. I was shocked to discover the PH3 has a whole lot of tonal coloration. Its got a woody boxy sound. Doesn't sound that way now. Sounds great. I know. Loved mine to death. That's ... 
Need opinions on cartrige for Audio Research ph3
Right. I used PH3SE nearly 20 years, with the medium Glider for about 10 and the Ruby H also about 10 years. Both about .75mV as I recall. Zero problems. Beautiful together. Shocked how much better the Herron is, because the PH3 sounds so good you... 
Analog or Digital and why?
Its good some are happy listening only to digital. This is why they are happy. I was happy with digital too, when all I listened to was digital. Then one day made the mistake of listening to a record. Took a while. Playing a record takes skill. Yo...
