Least Expensive Power Conditioner/Surge Protector That Won't Worsen Sound
Remind me to turn off spellcheck. Some stray character turned into cnn - I wouldn’t touch that propaganda with someone else’s eyes. Mobile page doesn’t allow editing ✍🏻   
Least Expensive Power Conditioner/Surge Protector That Won't Worsen Sound
I’ve had one CNN of these over two years now for my system. Works fine. Have similar smaller units for computers in two rooms, a larger one for TV/audio in another room. Output is clean, to keep rfi/emi off input I use simple clamp-on ferrite chok... 
Best double live vinyl?
Having made the tragic mistake of selling my vinyl in ‘84, i began collecting again about two years ago.  I made an effort to find three double live albums which had been in my collection and they didn’t disappoint. The Allman Brothers band “Eat... 
King Crimson
I’ve been a fan since, I think, the first time I heard KC’s “Lizard.”  I was 14, and man, was I hooked. All my allowances went to buying their stuff the next ten years. I saw them in concert in St. Pete, Florida at the Bayfront center shortly aft...

I was reading the cartridge installation instructions for my tonearm last night- SME 3009 S2 improved.    it said on some cartridges there’s s tab on the green lead which has to be disconnected from the headshell or it will cause a ground loop an... 
Zephyr MIMC vs Hana ML
Thanks again one and all. still considering the Delos vs. Zephyr. several YouTube channels demoing those give me some sense of the sound I’m looking for. It’s the price and rebuild cost I’m vacillating on at this point. here’s a twist. Had Cov...

Zephyr MIMC vs Hana ML
Jumped the gun on prior post. Cartridge not available after all. gonna wait, play Ortofon more, think about Lyra Delos, Hana Umami, something in between. interested in Soundsmith’s ctges, just that they’re all so low compliance.    Thanks again.  
A new way of adjusting anti skate!
Took most of my first cuppa joe this morning to parse this thread.  I seem to recall adjusting this visually after balancing my tonearm in neutral, and sort of compromising on too little vs. too much movement of the TA as I made AS adjustments at...

@sns - saving as in piggy bank.

Zephyr MIMC vs Hana ML
Funny, I’d started out thinking about saving a few more dollars and looking for a Umami Red.  Hadn’t given any thought at all to AT. a brief online search is steering me in that direction. No hurry.     US made is a factor but most of my system ... 
Do speaker wires have to be the same length for each speaker?
As an exercise for the perennially geeked, calculating the differences in capacitance, inductance should give a few seconds of mathematical bliss - at least. intuitively, one would want as small a difference as possible (obviously),  but a few CM...
