Another Analog v. Digital Thread? Not Really
What I’m curious about is what makes LPs sound better to so many people, given that the vast majority of LPs are digitally mastered these days. Is it that most digital playback systems just aren’t up to the level of the gear used to produce the re... 
Turntable isolation platforms
 I then had a friend apply pressure to rack and the rumble stopped. The gross sort of vibration you have, so bad a person pressing with their hand is an improvement, is gross both in frequency and amplitude. All the so-called 'isolation' stuff ... 
Perfect Path Technologies confusion
I just got these, and will be writing a full review soon, but yes they definitely work on the breaker panel. My system is rather unusual in being run 4 ga off a 240v circuit, Audio Consulting step down transformer to 120v, then 4 ga direct into my... 
diy tangential tonearms
I hope to have a tangential tracking tonearm one day. "Have"? Or build? 
Another Analog v. Digital Thread? Not Really
Big subject. If there's music you just can't live without and its only on CD then I guess you will just have to listen to CD. But if your enjoyment is in listening to really good music really well recorded and played back there's just no reason to... 
Distinguished Frequencies

Digital read out static meters
Why does it matter? What I mean is, why do you even need one?

Buzzing after cloth around cone cracked
You do know the speakers are toast, right? Because I get the impression maybe you are gonna try and replace the surrounds. Which will be a waste of time and money. The buzzing you heard was the voice coils rubbing in the gap. Once that happens the... 
Looking for a good solution to cover my TV between the speakers. Cant move it
+1 on the blanket. Used one myself for years.If you want a lot more effective Owens Corning acoustic panel is the standard material inside a lot of very expensive acoustic panels. Two 1" thick panels 2x3 ft should do it. Wrap each one with fabric,... 
Maximizing VPI Prime Performance
Get a couple Synergistic Research PHT. Green Dream is very deep and liquid, Black Widow a little more dynamic and present, both just enough each way from neutral to make tuning fun. I've got one of each on my Koetsu, and a third Green Dream on the... 
Worth the $$ to upgrade my tonearm?
If you're dead set on upgrading your arm then +1 Origin Live. Wonderful arms.Me, I'd be looking at a Soundsmith MI cart.  
Any tweaks I'm missing?
So much of this hobby isn’t about if you can hear or not ... but whether or not you know what to listen FOR.Right. Exactly.Unless, well kind of hesitant to bring it up. But what if there are people who really don’t care all that much for the whole... 
More questions about dedicated lines
The battery bank, hands down. Only close to the room, not panel. Then run one large gauge line to your power conditioner. Everything plugs into that. None of this multiple lines stuff. With the battery regeneration you can further improve the pseu...
