| Transfi Owners Ideas A couple great tweaks that will improve that arm. First get some fo.Q tape https://www.ebay.com/p/1074648791 Thin is perfect for tone arms, thick is perfect for speakers. One sheet is pre-cut. I like to maintain a stock appearance. So I put one th... | |

| Do speaker enclosures need furniture polish or oil? Yes they use a cheaper spray on finish. It seals the wood, oil won't get to the wood. But Oil polishes like Old English still are fine, it all depends on the look you prefer. If you like the OE gloss then use it. Just be aware it won't soak in but... | |
| Filter Capacitance I'm curious as to how the tech shows up in these applications...If you figure it out let me know. All the BS above falls apart (and I do mean all of it) the second you listen to a little 34 watt Raven or other good tube amp and realize it sounds w... | |
| tidying up cables Yes it is a very bad idea. Why? In a word, induction.Every signal in every wire produces a field around that wire. Also when these fields cross a wire they induce a current in the wire. This is how transformers work. This is also how power is gene... | |

| How many people wish they could maintain and/or service/modify their own tube equipment? Right. Always pay professionals. Never do anything yourself.

| Favorite Linear power supply Open the wall warts and have a look at the absolute crap they use inside. They are mostly a transformer, with a couple dirt cheap diodes and an even cheaper cap. Usually on some POC circuit board. So for like $10, maybe $20 tops, you replace the c... | |

| What was wrong with the P-mount ? erik_squiresSo, as some of you may gather, I know very little about turntables. I mean, I think of getting into vinyl, especially with the new Techniques turntablesSo, what is it you like about the new Techniques turntables, Eric? | |
| tidying up cables Its impossible to tell you how to fix your mess without having the mess in front of me to see what's what. A couple things we can say for sure though- you do not want to bundle power cords together, and there are things that will make an audible i... | |
| Do WBT spades need break in? Everything goes through break-in. Even a cable used every day, if you unplug it and move it around, will not sound very good at first. So what you did, in addition to adding a new part that will take some time to burn in, you also moved the cables... | |
| Singing-Music playing Tesla Coil - What is their future? Ted Denney has been using a monster Tesla coil to condition a lot of his components for years now. Speaker cables, interconnects, power cords, outlets. | |
| How to know when an audio component has degraded? Far as I can tell the vast majority never put in the work to find the good components in the first place. Then of the ones that do only a small number of those put in the work to get the most out of those components. I'm talking about the work of ... |
