Which amp is better for my system
Are you sure? That's a pretty big shift from beautifully balanced excellence to run of the mill hifi technically hard to criticize even though there's no there there. Coming from Threshold maybe a nicely modded McCormack DNA? 
A suggestion for MM/MC cartridge manufacturers
My problem was not during installing the cartridge, it was during aligning it. It was at the stage where you have the place the stylus onto a pin hole in the protractor and then arrange the straightness. If there was a dummy stylus to do that, it ... 
Need advice on new TT
The Cue is the first table in years, maybe ever, that impresses me with the technology. Which it better be, to overcome the horrendous first impression created by the worst interview ever by Steve Guttenberg the alcoholic. Anyone interested do you... 
to fb or not to fb... that is the ?
Why anyone who knows anything about FB would want to be on it at all is beyond me. Guess you just don't know anything about it. 
SME 20/2 Static Electricity
Me again. Another perfectly clear post misconstrued and misunderstood. I blame our public schools. The post clearly says to spray, and sorry gonna shout, didn't get through the first time, AROUND equipment. Spraying carpet ain't gonna do no good. ... 
Affordable cables
millercarbon, the fact is that you have convinced yourself that all home brewed cables are failures based on one persons botched attempts. Your message to all DIYers is you are doing them a favor telling them to give up before they have started an... 
Nice to see the younger generation in the hobby......
Car audio is definitely a good inlet to more serious home audio.It seems so innocent in the beginning. Car audio leads to home audio. Home audio leads to dealers, at first small time but then as you sink deeper only the high end dealers with the b... 
A suggestion for MM/MC cartridge manufacturers
Good call on the 420. But, I'm thinking it was something more basic.More than likely one of these:1. Stylus guard in place2. Secure tone arm3. Disconnect turntable4. Place on clean well lit kitchen table5. Rubber band around cartridge6. Remove pin... 
Trying to find an amp that matches my tastes (aka death metal)
Death metal, you say? So no SET then?  
B&W ASW610 subwoofer burned out twice now
Its not you. You've done nothing wrong. If it can be fixed again under warranty do that and sell it. If not then no point throwing good money after bad. But no point throwing the sub out either. Not when it can still be used as a perfectly good pa... 
Quad L2 Subwoofer
The easiest and most sure fire way to get deep extended articulate and dynamic bass that blends seamlessly with your Quads is four subs. Type, size and power matters very little when you use four. Or more. Do a search for distributed bass array, S... 
Why no “Break in” period?
Well I’ll be....!"So what was I to complain about? Finally I stopped measuring and started listening, and I realized that the capacitor did have a fundamental flaw. This is were the ear has it all over test equipment. The test equipment is almost ... 
Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know?
@davekayc I'm fighting a bass null at the sitting position so I wondered about, having the mains spread further apart but toed in at a steeper angle to limit low frequency waves going straight at the wall and being reflected back. Basically havin... 
Affordable cables
My simple diy ic`s are cheap but I can guarantee that you`ll never find anything betterIf true then why aren’t you selling them for $10k per meter, instead of being a nobody nobody ever heard of before? I mean seriously, "never better" if even mer... 
Sub for Motorola C6000 8152 transistor
Ahhh! You're looking for a substitute transistor, not a sub. Right. Try Tech Talk. And maybe a little more clear what you want.
