Synergistic Research ECT
Every time I watch a movie now I have to remove the ECT from my turntable motor and put it on my laptop. The improvement in grain-free detail, depth, and overall realism is hard to live without. I'm talking about BOTH the video AND the audio! 
What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why?
Linaeum Model 10, easily the most uncannily real imaging of anything I ever heard. As one who was not usually complimentary of my choices said of the soundstage these things presented, "You were swimming in it."Made by a small company in Portland,... 
Long XLR cables - DIY construction suggestions?
There are no nice sounding DIY designs.If there were then I know exactly the guy who would have them. He’s spent the better part of 40 years building all kinds of interconnects, speaker cables, and power cords. He’s built every design out there. H... 
BUSTED: UK company is raided for fake vinyl production
The REAL NEWS - huge wide vinyl growth rate! -  is as usual buried way down at the end- Though still niche in terms of its size within the overall recorded music market, vinyl enjoyed another stellar year in 2016, with over 3.2 million LPs sold –... 
Tracking Force?
vino, far as I can tell the Clearaudio is not only a bright cartridge, but bright everything else. Worst waste of money I ever heard, same setup you have, only I add blame to Definitive Audio. Whatever. Maybe you will like it. My bet is you will l... 
The quest for the hot stamper or is it a myth
Yeah. Like all you have to do is find a copy from the same pressing run. Like its that easy. That was my hope too. Eagerly writing down every detail, trying to take a picture (etched in glossy black, next to impossible), convinced this was all I n... 
The quest for the hot stamper or is it a myth
Okay so here's the deal on the Hot Stamper. Its a made up marketing phrase that Better Records uses to grade their premium grade vinyl. Hot Stamper is the lowest, then Super hot, and White Hot Stamper is their highest, supposedly the next best thi... 
The invention of measurements and perception
stevecham, What I believe in is a thing called reading comprehension. The ability to read and comprehend the meaning in the writing. Comprehend means understand. Like, understand that "organism" does not necessarily mean "human" maybe it actually ... 
A thousand audio uses for memory foam. Or maybe just one . . .
Cut a piece exactly 20x14. Cut another piece exactly 14x10. Wrap them in a neutral color acoustically transparent fabric. Place on ottoman. Very comfortable. 
The invention of measurements and perception
"In the strictest scientific sense, there is no such thing as music, or sound, or color, or hot or cold".utter nonsense! Oops!Just the opposite. I'll explain by giving the one correct answer to a well-known riddle: when a tree falls in a forest... 
How important is it for you to attain a holographic image?
By your logic, a person sitting in the first row of a concert and ostensibly getting a more “holographic” picture of the sound, is having a better musical experience than someone sitting in the fifth row or tenth row or balcony.I don’t think tha... 
Muddy Bass Vintage JVC JA-S31 Before and After complete recap
With your experience I’m sure you already know the answer, you’ve pretty much answered it yourself, and just need a little confirmation. Because you don’t like the answer. I don’t blame you.The other two that you recapped came out wonderfully beca... 
Bi-Wire with two pairs of speaker cables
I hear you, jl35. The few times I tried biwiring it did make an improvement but nowhere near as much as simply spending the money on upgrading to a better single run cable. I mean it was not even close. That was many years ago, so given how far ca... 
How much difference does an anti-vibration audio rack make
Or you could just use BDR Cones. Won't put a hole in your carpet and work much better anyway. 
Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD
There was a very interesting study done many years ago. It was a professional study done by psychologists and following established procedures to minimize anything that might influence the outcome. There were for example no questions about which i...
