Subwoofer help needed
The key to great bass is more to do with the number of subs than anything else. The quality of bass that can be had from 4 or 5 subs for a total cost of around $3k is such that it is the one thing you can do and be happy for life and yes on that b... 
Adding a preamp to HT setup
You want great stereo sound while doing home theater right? Look no further. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 
Ok guys
A dust cover is a no-brainer to be desired. Nobody wants dust on their records, turntable, tone arm. Nobody wants the acoustic energy in the room vibrating the sensitive cartridge/arm system. The trick is to do it in a way that doesn’t create more... 
Lets talk dedicated lines
Pitcher got a hot arm. Batter up! My room started with the usual normal done to code daisy chain of outlets. This was replaced with a dedicated 120V line. This was upgraded to 4 ga 240V with stepdown transformer. This was upgraded with cryo. This ... 
... speaker stands other than concrete blocks...
OMG, I had those. Technically L26, same exact speaker only in a yellow composite cabinet that due to its monstrous appearance was heavily discounted making it perfect for my meager 1975 McDonald's burger flipper budget.  Cinder block covered in th... 
Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars
Has anyone ever heard one of these Wilson's in a system and it sounded really good? Just curious. Because I never have. Not that I blame the speakers. Everything matters. But it sure is odd that I have heard great systems with lots of other speake... 
does MacBook Pro need a DAC?
I plug my RCA to mini-adaptor into the headphone jack on my MacBook Pro, that's how I watch movies. Then to improve the sound I move one Synergistic ECT and stick it on the laptop. Finally I place one of the amazing eCards on it. These improve bot... 
I need to upgrade my amp but it sounds really good. (Wife in corner shaking her head)
To answer your question yes the right tube integrated can elevate your system to a higher level. Tube integrateds are the sweet spot in high end stereo. It may well be impossible to match the performance of a good integrated with separates, at lea... 
My system is where I want it be and it sounds awesome...
Mc, I'm gonna have 8 subs:)   A man's got to know his limitations. 
Ok guys
mijostyn makes a good argument for using a well-designed dust cover. The key words being well-designed. I've thought about it before and never bothered because of the difficulty of the well-designed part. Its not that I don't know how to do it. It... 
Static or ground issue with PS Audio GCPH?
Was really hoping someone would dive in cuz you got a lot going on here. Static is always a problem yours is just worse than usual. For immediate relief get Static Guard anti-static laundry spray and waft it around liberally over cables and around... 
My system is where I want it be and it sounds awesome...
You gotta try five subs.https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 
Ok guys
Up or down, either way, as long as its attached to the table its channeling acoustic energy straight into the turntable.  
What other Hobbies or Interests Do You Have?
The days when I would glissade down (on my feet!) are sadly all behind me now.  
You know you've been thinking about speaker placement too much when...
Only thing worse will be when you get home and find it really did happen, it was the post that you imagined. Sorry.
