List your System Ingredients: Listed most to least expensive, by list price or price paid
My spider senses are tingling mmporsche, and my finely honed Holmesian deductive powers lead me to the inescapable conclusion a man with a VPI Prime Signature Turntable most likely is using a phono cartridge, a mysteriously missing ingredient. Sur... 
Turntable isolation for bedroom floor
infection asks How about placing the one rack with the turntable in the sand...? The general idea is to get your vibration control as close to the component as possible. Easy enough to experiment and determine for yourself. What you will find is... 
DBA for REL’s?
Yeah, and as long as you have only one or two subs you probably never will be happy with LF. It just takes four. Or more (I have 5). Really low bass is just a different animal. Add two more. Put them in the corners if you must. Not ideal, but then... 
Turntable isolation for bedroom floor
The easiest change that will make the biggest improvement is to place the turntable on the floor. This is because the floor is gonna move anyway. But the higher the rack the longer the lever arm and the greater the move the higher you go. You can ...

Headroom Loss for 1600w on 14ga/120v
this is another thread started by ieales from a previous thread where he is trying to prove that 14awg is more than enough for ANY home audio equipment. I'm not surprised that kosst has glammed onto this same mentality. Yeah it was obvious fro... 
Hooking a Phono Preamp up to a Preamp
All a phono stage does is equalize and amplify the RIAA signal from the cartridge. The output signal from a phono stage is then no different than any other line stage component such as a CD, DAC, or tape deck. The confusion is from back in the day... 
List your System Ingredients: Listed most to least expensive, by list price or price paid
tuberist, Is that it? Surely you have more. I mean the rule with ingredients is everything has to be listed. Is your system so simple it is just speakers, DAC and amp without a transport or even wires to connect them all together? Come on, don't b... 
List your System Ingredients: Listed most to least expensive, by list price or price paid
I don't proportion my system spending.  Maybe I did when I first started about 40 years ago and had to operate within a meager working college student budget.I’ve spent what I’ve needed to spend at any particular time (within reason) over the year... 
List your System Ingredients: Listed most to least expensive, by list price or price paid
Uh oh, can't hardly believe this but just realized I forgot to include my five subwoofers! The four DBA subs I built together with the one I had would vault speakers to #1. Although, just to be consistent, if adding subs and speakers together then...

The best insulator you could find for your cables was a garden hose?
