Turntable versus tonearm versus cartridge: which is MOST important?
Had the opportunity to directly compare it in my system to a Clearaudio Performance DC/Satisfy Carbon arm/Lyra Delos cartridge. Total cost around $7K.The latter was better in most parameters especially with respect to dynamics, detail, resolu... 
Recommended isolation for a Vincent Audio CD-S7 Tube cd player
You’re welcome. What you want is Townshend Pods. Get them sized for the weight of your CDP. Not only will this end your skips, it will produce a very impressive improvement in sound quality. If Pods are too rich then drop down to Nobsound springs.... 
Congratulations (yet again!) to Duke!!

Never a good idea to stack like that, but we gotta do what we gotta do. Electric motors make electric fields. Preamps are especially vulnerable, phono stages even more so. Distance is your best protection. If you can rearrange to move the preamp l... 
More proof that music is not just an aural sensation.
Well, the neighbors high school daughter called Monday night to ask if I would please turn the music down when I was testing my system out to get the over-under on db levels. Dead quite, with the AC off, 42.1 db. And then the loudest my system wil...

Margaritaville is a philosophical examination of the meaning of life. Time in a Bottle is Jim Croce exploring the meaning of eternal love in a temporal world. The Cheesburger is an eclectic discussion on the illusion of choice. Please try and stay...

In the end, the firing squad would be a kindness. A mercy killing. https://youtu.be/H59iOnYAsY0?t=24 
Earwax!
If you would, please clearly describe exactly what it was like before and after, and mail it along with your specimen to Millercarbon's Ear Wax Museum, Earie, PA.
