| Do you have a defining musical moment from your early years? One day in grade school, probably 3rd grade, violinist from the Seattle Symphony Orchestra came to our class room. We would be going on a field trip to hear them and he came to tell us all about concert etiquette.Well, he did a lot more than that.... | |
| Most useful tweaks that are sensible and really make a noticeable improvement Some of us are well beyond this now, but it never hurts to repeat the most cost-effective tweak you can buy is a tape measure to perfectly align your speakers exactly equidistant. My beautiful example of this is the time we were struggling to get ... | |

| Anyone have this turntable issue? jea48: How do explain the OP said the volume control is turned all the way down? How is the POP signal voltage getting through the all the way turned down volume control? Funny you don't ask the static charge people the same question. Oh well. | |
| A reappearance of Black Diamond Racing? Well if you are building a plinth, I really don't think you can do any better than a BDR Source Shelf. Even the thinner Shelf would be better than pretty much anything else you could find. I built a few and nothing came even close to the Source Sh... | |
| why do hi-end fuses keep blowing, while std don't? I tried reading the AudioCircle Forum discussion on fuses. Modjeski is there and keeps talking about science, but after reading and reading never once did he mention any actual science. He did mention microphonics, only to say that can't be a fact... | |

| Herron VTPH-2A final thoughts. There was a "woody" tonal character to the sound of my ARC PH3-SE, that evidently was there all along but that I never even noticed until the Herron went in and it disappeared. Only when it was gone did I notice. Even then when I did notice what h... | |
| Looking for a new cartridge (and maybe phono stage) for my Rega RB808 I had a Benz Micro Glider for years. Wonderful cartridge. Loved it. Next after that was a Benz Ruby H3. Wonderful cartridge. Loved it. Ran each of these something close to 10 years. Across two very different turntables, and two very different arms... | |
| A reappearance of Black Diamond Racing? One Teres platter version, the black one, was I think Delrin. Most of these materials- acrylic, Delrin, aluminum, MDF, stainless, all the usual suspects - are used more because they are affordable and easily worked with than anything. In other wor... | |
