| Cartridge alignment, WallyTractor, SmartTractor, oscilloscope and Analogmaigk. That protractor is one seriously impressive looking piece of kit for sure. Now stop and think a moment about what it is doing. The hole on the left centers and fixes it on the spindle. The arm with the vertical rod precisely aligns the grid wit... | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses I am in the same situation as Frank with TC everywhere and a tube stash. Been helping someone with their system who if he follows through and sends me his leftovers I might try NPS-1260. Until then, as best I have been able to determine it is a kn... | |

| RCA interconnect recommendation Your best approach with wire is to understand wire is every bit as important as every other component. Then from there you consider your system goals. Are you building a system over time? Let’s say you find a speaker you really fall in love with, ... | |
| Hearing aids I had a guy here one time wanted to hear my system. I said sure have a seat here in the sweet spot. He said no I will just stand here. No, really. No, I have hearing aids, both ears, it won't matter, I just want to hear it. Humor me. Okay. Few mi... | |
| Dedicated 20 Amp Line for Audio The vast majority of home circuits are run in a daisy chain from one outlet to the next. Every connection introduces micro-arcing and noise. All the current running to the last component had to go through all those connections. Also every wire is ... | |

| Can some of you take a quick listen to something... is there too much low end? Don't sound identical to me. Second one 44 is a bit warmer, fuller, with more weight and authority. Not a lot but it's there. As to the amount of low end, sounds fine to me but hello? This is all synth, ie entirely up to you, any amount can be fi... | |
| How to Improve Gain for RCA on Preamp. Can it be done? I am using a MM cartridge. My TT connects to a 90’s luxman integrated receiver with phono stage (not bad actually) but I could not for the life of me find the phono output (or figure it out). This is the closest I could find ... Phono MM (5 ... | |
| Decision: keep the Project Classic or buy into a Linn Axis? I don't as a general rule recommend making baby steps. Not with components. Especially not with turntables. If you really like the Linn a lot more and are pretty sure you will for at least a few years then yes, go for it. Otherwise, if it is only ... | |

I wouldn't bother with this again, would just do all of ... | |
| Sounds like a hot stamper! Jackpot Records, Willie Nelson, "....and then I wrote" That said.....Folks, Hot Stampers are everywhere! We just have to find them. I prefer the journey, but I'd be open to forking over $500 for the best copy of a handful of albums. We already have some hot stampers in our collections! Yes t... | |
| Integrating a subwoofer the subwoofer (connected through loop out) This is your problem. What you want is pre-out or sub out. Loop is fixed line level. Essentially a bypass, it gives no volume control over the sub. Because of this it is simply playing way too loud. Y... | |
| Replacement for current speakers suggestions Right. Most components need only 3-4 springs each. This leaves 3-4 springs left over, enough to make another set. The springs fit perfectly in a 1/4" hole. So all it takes is a 1/4" drill bit and you can do 2 components for $30. Easily the barga... |
