Isolation Springs Deal
This is good news. A few months ago I bought three sets of these and placed six units under each of my 150 pound floorstanders. The springs made very noticeable improvements in the presence of deepest bass, bass clarity and separation of instrumen... 
Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming
I added the OEO pieces per@tksteingraber a couple weeks ago. Plug ‘n play. The audible improvement was quite noticeable... well worth the investment. A couple days ago I found that I had an old IFi 5volt $50 wall wart hiding in a desk drawer. I re...

Suggestions for TT upgrade
If your headshell allows, changing out the headshell leads (4) can make an audible improvement in a turntable system’s performance. A number of well respected manufacturers sell these sets. Cardas comes to mind. I believe most headshell sets are s... 
Power strips- too many choices
The WAudio 3900 power strip @ $200 has received favorable mentions elsewhere on AudioGon. And it was positively reviewed by Audiophilia. Might be worth considering. 
LKS 004 or monarchyM24 dac?
I have an NM24 DAC. Almost a year and a half ago I installed new tubes and replaced the two output coupling caps with Mundorf Supreme Silver Oil caps. The fresh tubes made a welcome difference immediately, as the installed tubes clearly were tired...

Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy?
Hi, @coachpoconnor I really like the Tiger-Paw Audio Tranquility. It is still available. For about 1/3 the cost of a Karousel the TPT does make the Linn sound more articulate and “fresher.” The TPT takes only an hour or two to set up. ( Most of th... 
What do I do with this Auralic?
Auralic has a community forum. The Chief Engineer of Auralic responds to requests daily. He might be able to help configure your NAS to work properly.I believe you need a streaming device to feed / the Vega G2 into your system. A nice used Auralic... 
Feeling Tweaky
Hi, Mike...In my system adding a few of the HFC MC 0.5 magnetic conditioners to unused power outlets has made an immediate and noticeable improvement. At around $200, the MC 0.5 is the least expensive product HFC sells. Well worth the cost. I also... 
Linn LP12 factory power supply upgrade or 3rd party? Need to do 45’s.
Hello again, masi61... I reread your inquiry a few more times. There is a case to be made for selling the Linn and buying, say, a good used SL-1200 and investing in a really good cartridge, for example. I was given a 1978 Linn and have returned it... 
Linn LP12 factory power supply upgrade or 3rd party? Need to do 45’s.
+1 for the Hercules power supply. I purchased it plus a new motor for $800 US installed. That’s about half the cost of a new entry level VPI.  
Add 45 RPM to an LP12
Thanks, everyone, for the quick responses and the simple solution. 
Record saver fluid
GruvGlide is still available. The GG kit includes an aerosol spray can and a black applicator sponge. GruvGlide.com. Could this be the one you are looking for? 
Is there anyone out there who knows anything about Essence Speakers by Dale Pitcher?
No one ever mentions the Essence 8a. It had the same driver complement as the IMF TLS80 and RSPM MK IV. The 8a had an aperiodic bass chamber instead of a TL. I thought the 8a was an homage to John Wright and his designs. It was a beautiful loudspe...
