Happy Thanksgiving everyone. One word : Dynamat 
Help finding a simple but high quality buffer or preamp for remotely controlling volume
Should I assume you contacted SMC to see if he can remote control your TLC1 ? Will this unit you are looking for be used in line with the TLC1, or independently ?  
Millercarbon's Mega Vibration Control Journey
Likely before you all were doing any of this, I was damping the undersides of tt platters, speaker horns, woofer / driver frames and cabinets, books and bricks on top of and under components, changing out the a cheap thin power cords with shielded... 
I have been a stickler about keeping power cables away from signal cables...on equipment ?
DS....I hear differences of great magnitude after a substantial warm up of a piece of gear, as well as upgraded fuses. Based on your writings, we are quite different in our opinions. It is ok to challenge me on what I hear or what I think I hear, ... 
Usher R 1.5, Can This Amp Be For Real?
Years back I bought a combo of this amp with it’s matching preamp for just under 2 K, from an old client of mine. Well made, with a very powerful presentation. I liked the sq of the amp more than the preamp, but ultimately, found it to be very " t... 
Klipsch Heresy iv...Your experience.
Not to disagree with wolf, because many people prefer the Heresy's on the floor, tilted up, and not to mention, they were designed to be used this way. However, for my type of presentation, I prefer them on good, rigid, non resonant stands, away f... 
Belles original 150 amplifier. Any good?
Can’t beat a deal like that, for sure. However, I too had a hot rod version of the amp in my collection that I sold, shortly after acquiring my 1st Nuforce STA 200. The Belles in comparison, sounded dark, lacked detail and had a withdrawn presence... 
Why I enjoy my Luminous Audio passive unit, vs an additional gain stage ( preamp )
@atmasphere Ralph, great story. I am sure in my past life I had many instances of using and listening to a true balanced system. So, what can we all do, to get this type of balanced system into out listening rooms ?  
The secret to a great amplifier...
Very unfortunate. Many of my threads have been attacked and ultimately deleted.

Welcome to the fuse club. 
As much as I try, I just don't get it........
I appreciate all of the feedback. I did make a point stating there are many YT videos I actually enjoy listening to, and yes, YT is a great way to learn about new and unfamiliar music. However, if anyone can gauge the qualitive nature of a 3K powe... 
Some love for the Benchmark HPA4/LA4
yyz, I have always followed your posts, and am surprised you wound up purchasing Thiel CS3.7s ( not judging, if you enjoy them ). I go dac direct ( through a top model Luminous Audio passive unit ), and my system needs zero additional gain, and ha... 
which speaker to buy
The Cornwalls are mot 104db efficient. The only Heritage models currently at 104 + db are the Khorn and the Lascala. Let's keep the facts straight....ok. TY 
which speaker to buy
To the OP. As I mentioned on your " pro's and con's of bridging " thread, your son has 2 different Mc amps, and bridging them for use as a stereo pair, will not give him a matched system. Sonic differences between the 7300 and 2002 exist. Also, as... 
Amp repair cost — is this right?
I am currently in a similar dilemma of spending some money for a tech bench repair, if it is ok for me to talk about myself and my own situation, without offending the op. My as new and tweaked ADA PF 2501 power amp needs a fuse holder repair. One...
