Harman Kardon HK990 Question
Yes, thank you. Been busy, a spring cleaning with comprehensive system update is long overdue. An unexpected and very pleasant benefit of taking pictures and documenting the system is being able to view and study. One might think that with the sys... 
Turntable isolation
Had a chance to look up your footers. A set of four Pods will run you half the cost of the LSP-2. There is a money back guarantee. If there is one for the LSP2 then you could compare.

Asvjerry, DBA works best with everything.  Cheers!  
What Tidal/Qobuz track can you share?

Harman Kardon HK990 Question
Thanks guys.  This one comes up a lot. When I bought a Melody tube amp with no pre or sub out I knew there had to be a simple solution. Not wanting to reinvent the wheel I decided to consult the brain trust here. Even put it in tech talk where it ... 
Harman Kardon HK990 Question
Follow this guide to build a line out converter. The 2 resistors will cost like $2 if that. Or you can buy an LOC built. Quality doesn’t matter. I’ve done this for years, it works great. The parts are so small if you are careful it can be built in... 
Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why?
Yes, I am aware of that hopelessly lost, muddled, and illogical view. Hopeless, because they won't listen. Lost, because it forgets the reason for music in the first place is enjoyment. Muddled, because it pretends to serve as a guide and frame of... 
A moral/ethical question regarding my Rek-O-Kut Rondine
I've built stuff and modified stuff and in general people pay a lot more for original condition than hacked up modified. People who want DIY will DIY. People who want vintage value vintage. There is not a lot of crossover into people who value vin... 
Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why?
A comment, or clarification: measurements are a means to an end, not an end in themselves.  When building something it can be very useful to measure certain parameters, in order to quantify progress in design changes, especially changes that migh... 
To couple, or not to couple, that is the question
What damped springs?  
RCA is loose
Wonderful, except for being loose. Carefully crimp it tighter.   
Honesty of the Reviewers
I grew up riding my bicycle to Radio Shack where I read everything I could get my hands on. Like Isaac Asimov whose father owned a bookstore but he still couldn’t afford the books so he carefully read each one and put it back looking new, I read a... 
Help Building an Audio Room
Probably the best way to deal with room modes is a DBA. Four subs asymmetrically distributed around the room yields such smooth powerful deep bass a lot of the need for traps and such is rendered moot.   
To couple, or not to couple, that is the question
"How about for monitors on stands? Between the stand & floor or between stand & speaker?" Follow and apply the logic of isolation. Anything touching anything else sets the whole thing ringing. Isolation works by minimizing the amount of st...

Thyname, very much appreciated, thanks.
