| Synergistic Research Galileo SX phono or Nordost Valhala 2 phonocables? SR, of course.But first I would call Ted and ask about making one to run continuous all the way to the cartridge pins. | |
| Lars Clausen upgrade clock Not this exact one. But back in the day when I was still banging my head and chasing my tail running the treadmill, fill in your futility metaphor, trying to get good sound from digital, I did a bunch of CD mods like this. They work. For sure. An... | |
| Damping between shelves and sandbox You're just upset because instead of word salad I serve up information. Always in the back of your mind will be the knowledge it took me one post to understand you don't know what you're talking about. | |
| Damping between shelves and sandbox @millercarbon The mineral oil is going to do the job, good idea. What quantity you used for your box?No idea. Too long ago. Just pour and mix, pour and mix. You're going for not even damp, just barely enough so the stuff holds a shape with no du... | |
| 50 foot cables? https://www.parts-express.com/audtek-12-awg-ofc-speaker-wire-100-ft--100-025 | |
| Calling Marten Duke 2 Owners - Do You Fill The Speaker Stands? Spoiler alert- it doesn't matter what stand or who made it, adding mass will improve dynamics, reinforce bass, and doing it with sand or lead shot will also lower the noise floor. However since it damps vibration it will also tend to reduce presen... | |

| How are phono cables different (related to hum issue)? The problem is not so much the cables as the gain. The tremendous gain in a phono stage, from millivolts to volts, means any noise whatsoever is large relative to the weak cartridge signal. So the cable can be really well made, and one bit of oil ... | |
| What would you buy Just one problem, atmasphere, and sorry to say because this may be the death knell, but you are absolutely right and I agree completely. You even suggest a mod, which I have done many times and agree with as well. Sorry. Sorry. | |
| Damping between shelves and sandbox Mix ordinary mineral oil in with the sand, just barely enough so it starts to stick together. It will stay put and for years. Mines over 15 years and dust free. Look close you will see its between the granite and the concrete on the top rack, and ... | |
| Synergistic Research HFT's HFTs are awesome. See my full length review, around here somewhere. They have a sort of systematic way of adding them but I know from experience they can be done any way and any order you like. When you look into them you will see there are a few ... | |
| Audio Research CD9 tube rolling ? $500! That's pretty good for $150 worth of tubes!(That will probably be good for another 5 years, he wanted to say....) | |
| what's the point? This is like going back to 1973 being a teenager and trying to learn about audio. Yeah. Seriously. Almost 50 years ago. Yet reading this it feels like half a century and nothing has been learned.Pestering the guys at Radio Shack, killing time in t... | |
| 10 Audio Cable Myths and Facts Just dropped in real quick to scan through and confirm once again that here we have a thread specifically posted by someone with something to sell and bragging about how great it is. In other words a bona fide genuine shill. And not one comment fr... | |
| What do you think of Q-sound recordings? @millercarbon I agree, but I want to see if others feel the same way. I have recordings that were very well recorded with very wide and deep sound stages that don’t use this technology. There was a very good engineer at the board. I personally lik... |
