Bang for Buck
Right. Budget. If the budget is $150 then your best bet is probably a Blue Quantum Fuse, set of BDR Cones, maybe a Synergistic Research Master Coupler power cord. Something like that. If it is $3k then your best bet might be the Herron VTPH-2A or ... 
Sub wiring help, high level speaker terminal to RCA line level Sub inputs
Wanted to post a follow up. I've spoken to all 3 companies in the mix, Rythmic, Cambridge Audio, and Schiit, they all said to use the RCA line out with a Y splitter. This is what you call CYA. Both methods are at best the same. Both methods ru... 
A reappearance of Black Diamond Racing?
Oh yeah, definitely worth the price.Something very important that never seems to come across in any of the websites. The BDR vibration control approach is modular, flexible and progressively complimentary. In other words the stuff is designed to w... 
Recordings by Elton John, Nirvana and Thousands More Lost in Fire
LOL! And it only took the New York Times ELEVEN YEARS to report on it!"The paper of record", indeed! 
Microphone for Youtube Recording
First go watch some of the YouTube videos. There are two main approaches. The best one is to skip the mic and record direct from line. That might sound like a cheat but there's a whole series of these that are nothing but a video of a turntable an...

Just spent the last hour catching up on this thread, and AudioCircle, and dsachsconsulting.comSounds like the real deal.  
Name Your Top 5 Most Musical Dynamic Sounding Tonearms of All time?
Ha! Excellent! I knew some here would have done this. Not very many. But some. Still it shows how rare it is. Even a hugely experienced analog guy with a two-arm table, over ten years. Most never manage even to compare even two. Oh, they hear diff...

Know what you mean. Every time the choice is sit and listen and enjoy what you got or do something else to maybe make it better. But its so much easier to sit and listen, so much work to make it better. It seems I am more lazy than energetic so of... 
New vinyl quality....
Right. And I have no idea why this works, but I've been using the Radio Shack Bulk Tape Eraser (a great big demagnetizer) on my records just before playing and it does make for a more detailed yet smoother more grain-free sound. Not huge but defin...

Sounds like you are most of the way there. Whatever you build, will work great on a Shelf. Think you'll be able to finish it this year? 
Most useful tweaks that are sensible and really make a noticeable improvement
clearthink muddies: If you are going to do this for the purpose, goal, and objective of higher fidelity then you will also have to design, build, and install a clamping device to insure that your head never deviates from the optimum measured list...

Worst Audio Injury !!
I suffered a psychotic break when some Audiogoner with two posts revived a twenty year old thread, everyone started posting like it had been active the whole time, and now going mad trying to understand who is the fizzle bomber. 
A reappearance of Black Diamond Racing?
