A case for running speakers full range - Tekton Double Impact SE w/ SVS SB16 subs
Its better to run full range, for the simple reason that the more bass sources the better. This is the principle on which Distributed Bass Array is based, that more subs is better than few. This is another one where people have repeated something ... 
A Highly Unusual Topic!
OMG, its been so long, almost forgot when SNL was fun to watch. 
Tone arm resonance and cartridge compliance: How do they interact??
The short answer is you determine by seeing if the screws fit. They usually do. The long answer: Been running analog since the 70’s. Know all about just what you’re talking about. Its never been a factor. Main reason it matters, audiophiles are al... 
l just discovered another one of the record companies dirty tricks?
So if you turn around and the R channel is now on the L and you turn back around again do you associate the memory? Fascinating phenomenon. Or at least it would be if you knew that is what you what you wrote. Which is....? What exactly do you mean... 
Mint LP Best Protractor
Its only madness if you make it so. Some look at turntable geometry and drive themselves crazy trying to optimize every tiny little thing from an engineering/geometry point of view. Long arm, tangential arm, this protractor, that protractor. Its r... 
Mint LP Best Protractor
What a lot of bother. When you can get the MoFi Geo-Disk for $50 and be done. Works like a charm. Oh well..... 
Swarming!
This old thread popped up recent and its good, because this is still just about the best-kept secret in audio. Everyone needs to know, because where else in audio can you get bona fide SOTA anything for only about $3k? With bass you can! What ever... 
Burn In... the Age Old Question, Cables, Components, and Speakers
So burn in doesn't matter with wire, there's no such thing, and so I bought a Cable Cooker.  Yeah. I'd take his advice. Its nonsense like this that makes humor so darn hard around here. Try and crack an obvious joke, people take it seriously. Whic... 
subwoofer connection
No difference, because ultimately its the levels you set on the sub that determine its output. Connecting to the amp does not affect the amp at all. Only real difference is a practical one- which wires, how long, and where they go. In terms of sou... 
Honest question about cartridge vs. turntable performance.
The answer is it depends on how terrific the cartridge- and how terrible the turntable.The obvious answer is the question itself is terrible. 
How to select a good Speaker Cable
How to select a good speaker cable:1) Compare by listening.2) Compare by reading what others heard by listening.3) Right. As if. There are no other ways. Either you listen, or they do. All else is BS. 
An EXPERIMENT for those who have never heard differences in cables
The one I'm allowed to tell you about is TC. The other one is to die for. 
should I buy this tube amp?
The crackling is just tubes. If the transformer itself is physically humming that is probably DC offset and will go away with a clean power source (no DC offset). Dry room temp storage not only does no damage, its the on/off temperature cycles tha... 
100v,115v versus 230v
Every one in the USA has 240 Volts @ the pole YES. They had it Be for Millercarbon was on the earth.... Granted. But I fail to see what my time off Earth has to do with anything. 
How deadly is transformer hummm...
Turn off just the amp, and let the amp "bleed out". Then sautee, and serve with fava beans and a nice Chianti.
