The best tweeter is no tweeter
erik_squires thinks the best tweeter is no tweeter.Eric Alexander thinks 15 tweeters is even better.If only I knew which to believe. Dang. This is a tough one. 
Inner groove distortion solved!
So exactly as I said, too much twist, too much anti-skate. Way too much, apparently.Now here's the thing. The skating force varies as the record plays. The more drag on the stylus the greater the force. The amount of anti-skate that is perfect for... 
Watts and power
Can somebody break it down in layman's terms for me? Among the many wonderful quotes attributed to the late Nobel Laureate extraordinaire Richard Feynman is this one: "If you can't explain it to a six year old that means you don't really under... 
A method to more quickly extract the benefits from a Perfect Path Mat, Alpha Card or Gate
Mine is on the outside of the door facing out so when the inspector comes he will see I am a crazy audiophile and be afraid to look inside. I mean in case the constant static zapping from my Tesla coil isn't enough. Also on the outside it helps ba... 
Modem performance and modem selection.
How much does a modem impact sound performance when streaming high resolution music and or video via Ethernet connection? Not at all. See: buffer. 
Basic question or not
All digital information regardless of how its connected is transmitted in packets. They go by different names depending on the format but its all pretty much the same. Packet goes out with the first bit of the packet saying hi I'm packet so and so...

I will be putting TC on everything. Starting back in the 90's its been my practice to take everything apart and clean and condition all points of contact. Sometimes as often as twice a year, sometimes a few years go by. Sometimes clean one way, so... 
The best tweeter is no tweeter
If you can tell the type of tweeter you are listening to, I can assure you it is not among the best in the world. I have no idea what I'm listening to, which is really cool, since now I know that means its the best in the world!  
Synergies in music and amp combinations?
Rap is Schitt. Or is it Schiit? Never could get my Schiit straight. Anyway, Diana Krall is a singer, and a Singer is a Porsche, so I would definitely be all over that schiit. 
Need a new Hi-Fi rack?
I got the oil idea from Chris Brady of Teres Audio. He tested different materials for his turntable. In my situation the oil is just barely enough to coat the sand when thoroughly mixed. Just enough to eliminate dust and scatter. The "well" is an ...

Frank you have me curious to try moving mine from the power conditioner to the panel. There's already one on the panel but room for two.  
An Epiphany
Well for sure the stylus is wearing away the vinyl. Of that there is no doubt. Go look real close at the front of any cartridge that has been playing a long time. That thin layer of black dust is record vinyl scraped up by the stylus banging aroun... 
Subwoofer Question
I have been thinking about replacing the ML with two smaller subs such as the REL T/7i’s or T/9i. I do like bass so I feel I need/want a sub. In my research I also keep reading that subs make the midrange sound better if you have the right setup. ... 
Tim Mrock, Krissy Mrock, and The Perfect Path
You're welcome. But I am not a believer. I am a listener.Who is enjoying his listening more than ever now. 
Need a new Hi-Fi rack?
Here is a very old photo of my system from 2004. http://theanalogdept.com/c_miller.htmNot to say "do this" but to give some idea just what it takes to make a rack that’s better than the floor. It ain’t easy! The floor has all the advantages. But w...
