Soundstage, layering and tube differences
you call burn in whatever you wantany electrical device, connection, circuit, will ’settle in’ over some time...whether it is seconds, minutes, hours, days... it has to do with physics of matter, electrical flow, heat/heat dissipationw.r.t. tu... 
Replacing driver screws with brass screws
oldhevymec, seems you're saying vibrate when what you mean is rattle. Tight won't rattle but everything vibrates, only question is how. You're probably right about torque to tone. Tighter probably is higher in the same way a guitar string is adjus...

Don't forget Tivoli. You want to be sure and cover clock radio speakers, right?

Replacing driver screws with brass screws
Got mine off eBay. Prices and shipping varies so compare around. Its a lot more expensive now than last year! Thin and thick are the same except for thickness. One sheet is pre-cut into strips of different widths, the other is uncut. Excellent adh... 
A case for running speakers full range - Tekton Double Impact SE w/ SVS SB16 subs
The number one problem in getting good bass in a room is low frequency waves are very long, this creates powerful modes, and lumpy slow muddy bass is the result. The modes move around the room depending on where the bass drivers are located. So th...

One time back around 1994 I'm on my third or fourth visit to Corner Audio in Portland. (This was back when it was still safe to visit downtown Portland.) The old guy running the place saying he is gonna give me some culture (ironic, given where Po... 
Speaker hiss from power amp
Interesting since I thought the point of using balanced interconnects was to reduce noise.   Then you have been misinformed. The point is improved signal to noise ratio. Its a ratio. That's why its written S/N. Signal divided by noise. A ratio.  ... 
Poor value vs snake oil...
So many words, when so few will do:  Snake oil is in the eye of the georgehifi. 
fake TL audio preamp in china
I am shocked, shocked, to hear something made in China is fake, crap, substandard, stolen, fraudulent.  As if. China can't even build a lab that can hold their stolen bat virus. Their buildings are tofu- what the Chinese themselves call them, tofu... 
Need help selecting my new Amp setup!
If you're upgrading tables, what amp were you using? If you're serious about phono it might make more sense to keep whatever amp you're using and upgrade to a much better phono stage. Huge improvement with a good stage vs the card they use in an i... 
What has been your costliest mistake in this hobby?
