I Recapped my Conrad Johnson PFR. Wow! Some of the best $$$ I've spent
mijostyn blathers: millercarbon it would seem you are an expert at losing money. Wouldn't you rather buy more music?? I guess not. So the subject, which you can scroll up and read the title but I'll save you the effort, is:  "I Recapped my Conra... 
Need help regarding isolator wiring configuration.
Some marketing genius came up with balanced power to help sell conditioners. Its a terrible phrase because we do have balanced connectors in audio and so saying something is balanced immediately makes anyone aware of this think balanced power is s...

Right. Of all the cost effective big bang for the buck things you can do caps are way up at the top of the list. Super easy too. The values are printed right on them. Anyone can simply look, order, swap. Hardest part is getting them to fit. Better... 
Sting, "Live at the Bataclan"
Usually unless the recording details are right there on the sleeve its hit or miss being able to find out. My searches came up empty.  Except for a few comments on discogs about this being a good pressing. Did yours sound good, nice, and quiet vi... 
UPGRADE FROM VPI SCOUTMASTER
nd of course there’s no reason one cannot mount any arm one prefers on any VPI table if he or she so chooses. This is why up around this level it pays to start looking at each component and not lump it all into "turntable". I just think in many... 
Music lover or audiophile?
I'm with you rvpiano, I'm with you. Great example, that fellow on the talent show singing opera, which it doesn't matter that I'm watching a YouTube video on a laptop he does it so beautifully it brings tears to my eyes. Then for kicks one time af...

Hunt around. SR has been selling the Master Coupler all over the world for something like 20 years. One's got to pop up eventually.If you can't wait for that I would go with whatever SR you can find and afford. Unlike most of the stuff out there t... 
Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’
Thanks for the link. My favorite bit: the now sold-out SR25 (we still have some units in stock) Sorry they are all sold out. But in case you missed it we still have some in stock! lol!

How much does volume matter when breaking in amps and cables?
Near as I can tell the whole break-in thing goes back to horses. Wild horses do not particularly care to be ridden. We say they are spirited. You have to break their will. You have to break them. If anyone knows about anything further back than th... 
UPGRADE FROM VPI SCOUTMASTER
I just noticed the OP was a month ago. A one-liner. The OP didn’t even bother to use a question mark. He hasn’t posted since. And his name is digital.Well, digital3. I guess digitalTroll was taken.

Acoustic Signature Set Up
Tone arm set up and cartridge alignment are a lot simpler and easier than they are made out to be. Its really just a question of moving methodically through a series of steps. Once you understand the reasoning behind the steps no single step is al...

The gold standard of power cords, the Synergistic Research Master Coupler. The only power cord so freaking good its been made for over 20 years and yet is still competitive with new power cords twice its price. As someone said the last time this c... 
How much does volume matter when breaking in amps and cables?
Here is my experience: If a component does not sound good "out of the box" I do not believe any amount of break in will change my mind. However, I notice components open up a bit more after some hours of playback. Now, I'm not into the 500-800 (...
