Doubting Sound Treatment ?
Bats piss.  What?  Oh, uh, what I mean is his majesty is a shining stream of golden light when all around is darkness. 
LP made from a digital master recording...
I listen to vinyl because I enjoy music. As you said CD doesn't sound like music it sounds "crisp". Music doesn't sound "crisp" it sounds like music. So the tradeoff is a little noise along with the music, or noise. I'll take music. 
How to guarantee to lower noise- ground loops in your system
Few subjects here are more entertaining than electrical wiring. Someone should combine the most unwittingly humorous in a book or something. 
Should I buy a VPI SCOUTMASTER. I OWN 25 RECORDS.
VPI do not suck. Did anyone say that? For sure not me. What I said was get off the merry go round. Not change horses. Get off. 
Finally, something new
I have a new tape measure you could borrow. Well I'm not sure how new it is but its new to me.

Nice wallpaper.

From having owned, upgraded, modded and ultimately built my own tablehttps://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 my take on it is this. A turntable is really, really simple and easy to make. You take a board, stick a bearing in it, put a disk on the... 
Bits Are Bits, Right?
Just recently, I was driving down the road with a friend when they plugged the phone into the car and the sound quality was much better than usual. I asked what they did, and I found out they were playing songs off the phone’s “hard drive,” wherea... 
New tubes...far more power??
Hard to say. I've replaced a lot of sets of tubes over the years. Gave up on tube rolling after the first few tries proved its just not worth it. So almost always mine are only replaced either after quite some time (years) or they get noisy, or on...

Tracy Chapman is one of many records that has all kinds of unexpected little low bass treasures. Most common is when the bass player slides off the note at the end. There's a music term for this for sure but its like they slide their finger off at... 
Just added a JL Audio D-110 to my system.
Congratulations!  Something to keep in the back of your mind as you move around and upgrade over the years, whatever you do, keep that sub. Never, ever sell that sub. You can buy better, and more. But only add, never trade. Normally I would say yo... 
What are Your Favorite and Most hated Record Manufacturers
Lol! Mike I bought Breaking Silence a good 25 years ago! Yeah its a beauty! I've acquired a stack of beauties over the years but back then it was a standout. Its so good its good even on CD! Its so good I would carry it around just because it was ... 
Bits Are Bits, Right?
"Bits are bits and as long as the CD player can read them, the accuracy of the spacing doesn’t matter because everything is thrown into a buffer which removes the effect of any jitter written into the data during burning." I know I don’t agree wit... 
Doubting Sound Treatment ?
Conventional panel wise, yes. Anyone can totally replicate any GIK or other overpriced panel for peanuts. By being able to do custom exactly what you need and no more its even possible to do better. But then there are things like HFT that no one c... 
OK...Added 2 HSU ULS-15Mk2 subwoofers To My System
I understand they don't know what they don't know, but I thought more members would be adventurous and daring enough to at least give it a try. Oh well, I guess a lack of adventure and ambition results in a lack of very good bass resolution and a ...
