Keep noise creators outside your clean power zone
Got a PM just now, so good I have to share it in its entirety:Miller, nice system BTW. Stop the posting on this Erik Squires dude. He is a joke and it seems he just keeps posting threads about nothing. Don’t waste your time anymore. I have stopped... 
I'm interested in hearing what "the best" systems sound like, where to go?
Interesting, I never have the chance to listen to this kind of very costly audio system in my life....I am sure that it will sound musical with tweaks though.... :)Right. I sometimes worry the people who don't read carefully will see only braggin... 
Keep noise creators outside your clean power zone
If you can, avoid using wall warts, and network devices like Wifi routers, switches, video streamers etc. on the clean side of your conditioner because they will contaminate the already filtered power.Yeah, no, it doesn’t work like that. Not even ... 
Where to Connect a Phono Preamplifier into a Line Stage
Lol! They ALL have some inputs that "are more direct" than others! Look at the back- RCAs all in a row. Different distances from the selector switch. Are we now gonna quibble over one being 2cm "more direct" than another? Oh Lord, we are! Someone ... 
Do power conditioners “burn-in” & thus improve with age?
If it has a wire, it improves as it burns in. Say again, if it has a wire. If it IS a wire- interconnects, power cords. So yes, power conditioners. But... two years? Something else going on. 
FEQ and Schumann Devices
One big, happy family. Mate well with ART system, too.You don't say. What do you want for the puppies?  
VTF gauge
I have both. A couple times now after setting with my digital gauge I pulled out the Shure just for fun. Both times got the same reading. There is nothing inherently more or less accurate in a digital gauge. Seeing decimal places is only the illus... 
Vacuum tube ! And Warnings
Just because the tube fits the socket, doesn't mean the amp runs the tube. Bias is set on the amp. Changing tubes doesn't change the bias. 50 to 90 is nothing in terms of harm, certainly nothing to cause such a show as this. Clearly you have other... 
Clearaudio Concept Tear Down
If you like that, replace your electrical tape with fo.q tape. Comes in a sheet.  I put in strategic locations around my arm, platter, and motor. Huge improvement for relatively tiny amount of tape. 
I'm interested in hearing what "the best" systems sound like, where to go?
Definitive Audio in Seattle, when I was in there last year, had a system of flagship Audio Technica, D'Agostino, Wilson and I forget what else. Only remembered long enough to look them up and add them up and realize that was a $1.3M system. Grusin... 
Turntable resonance normal?
Uh, yeah, if you tap on the tone arm you will hear a thump. In fact if you don't then something is wrong. 
Grounding Speakers
Groundhog Day! Different details, same day. In the original script he relived it for millions of years. In the movie it wound up being thousands. Here its merely hundreds. It only seems like forever.Top of every page. "Search discussions..." 
Remove rack or console from between your speakers
Right. Everything flat reflects sound like a mirror. From the beginning when I had nothing, no rack no turntable just speakers, a little Kenwood integrated sitting between them, even then I started noticing. Anything at all in the center reflects ... 
Remove rack or console from between your speakers
Yeah I would have to look. The big ones are Cable Elevators which turn out to be standard ceramic insulators with a sticker. The smaller ones are various bought off eBay once I compared and realized they are just as good and a lot cheaper. You sho... 
I need advice for power cords
By far? A bigger waste than $500 for a phone call?http://machinadynamica.com/machina43.htm
