| The "how many reviews it got" rule I’m not sure it works like that for the most part. Big distribution budgets and magazine advertising play a role in visibility. Ever notice how almost every review is a good one? | |
| Platter mat insanity @jnorris Actually, my wife is a classically-trained musician and I trust her ears over your suspicions. I played the same track twice without telling her anything. 20 seconds into one of them, she commented on the difference. | |
| Platter mat insanity @jnorris Hmm... so I did. Getting old is no fun. Whenever I see a comment like yours contributing nothing, I want to punch a wall. In fact, what is the point of your existence? I am detailing an observed phenomenon and passing it on so others migh... | |
| Platter mat insanity Dan, as a friend told me once when I asked him if he was still interested in women, he may be old but he wasn't dead! Looking forward to your findings. | |
| Platter mat insanity @lewm I tested for VTA. While it had some small impact, it was nothing like the improvements wrought from the 4" disk. The Resomat and Trans-Fi have sadly ceased business.@islandmandan Dan, well aware of your setup! I’ve been wary of the weight of... | |

| Anyone have feedback on Audiogon's Insider membership? I'm waiting for the day we all move to a private Facebook group. Imagine pictures on the fly? | |
| Leben cs300xs electrical noise in tweeters? Try a "cheater" plug to temporarily lift the ground. If that clears it, you have a ground loop issue. If it doesn't clear it, remove all input cables. Is the noise still there? If so, you have an amplifier issue. | |
| Power help I think those PC backup power supply units sound pretty bad. Why not try it with and without the UPS? | |
| Log Home / Listening Room design Please do not use old growth trees to build your room. Can you not use brick or blocks instead of wood and sheetrock which is a giant soundboard? | |
| Leben cs300xs electrical noise in tweeters? Buzz, hum or hiss?Any specific input? | |
| What is needed to build a tube amp and what non? There was a guy (friend of Hornshopp?) who built, if I recall correctly, GM90 amp with switch mode power supplies which were very good sounding - extremely fast. |
