Tonearm mount to the plinth vs arm board vs rotating arm board vs isolated tower
nandric, fo.Q tape is a piezoelectric vibration damping tape that works great on turntables, tone arms, and speakers. Very effective. Regarding platter mass, and materials, the differences are obvious and easy to hear. My Miller Carbon turntable i... 
Repair help please
Without knowing the impedance of your subs the only indication its right is you did what Duke said. It was kind of a long shot anyway as if they were wired for too low impedance the protective circuits would have been tripping right away not after...

Captain Irreverant. The man died. Give it a rest. 
Vandersteen power cable upgrad
Wait a minute. Wait just a doggone minute! So you're saying, Vandersteen shipped their speakers with ordinary power cords when better ones were available?  
GR-Research Line Force First Transparent Speakers?
You can tell they're good by the tasteful drape of the blankets behind them in the studio. Pretentious YouTubers with their clothes and stuff always turn me off. There's no substitute for that slapped together we don't GAS vibe. The authenticity i... 
Upgrade Suggestions - Entry Level Setup

can anyone recommend a person in LA area to pay to install a tricky Koetsu cartridge
The one part of cartridge setup that really is tricky, at least in the sense of taking a good deal of time and skill to get it right, is VTA.On the one hand VTA is the easiest of all. Is the cartridge body and/or arm pretty much parallel to the pl... 
Analogue question

Repair help please
First I notice series/parallel. Are you sure of the resulting impedance? 
Dedicated 20 amp circuit - Electrician laughed!
Would a power regenerator like those from PS Audio not negate this need? No. If I get a power regenerator, it’s totally regenerating clean power so is there still a benefit to having a dedicated circuit?Yes.Now listen close, because this stuff doe... 
Will Quantum computing change the DAC game (in our lifetimes)?
Crack me up. Like it even matters. Have you any idea how many times since 1980 we have been promised Perfect Sound Forever? The original CD itself was supposed to be Perfect Sound Forever. Now its so old its been superseded so many times you've al... 
Adding a sub to modest system
Any one sub will make a nice improvement. What you will find however is it will sound a lot different depending on where you put it. All rooms have an inherent tendency to bass reinforcement and it varies a bit room to room but the overall pattern... 
Informative books about Audio
Wow. Two guys with the right answer. Did I log onto another site by mistake? No, it says Audiogon at the top. Incredible. Oh wait, I get it now, 132 posts, 430 posts, new people. Still thinking, haven't been driven off by the BS. That must be it. ... 
can anyone recommend a person in LA area to pay to install a tricky Koetsu cartridge
I'm with lewm, and will go even further, this is totally one you want to learn to DIY. I would even go so far as to say you never really know what it is to own and properly run a turntable until you do. Cuts right through so much of the mystery wh...
