| RCA vs Phono cable PS. I’d spend a lot less on a cable than on a turntable and cartridge. In fact, you might try this cable if you don’t get a better mid-range with what you have.https://www.ebay.com/itm/BELKIN-Pure-AV-High-Quality-Dual-RCA-Audio-Cable-AV20302-06ft-... | |
| RCA vs Phono cable Last question, yes. As in don't try it with your non-78 stylus. I think you can get a 78 stylus for your cartridge. | |
| Publication bias and confounders in product reviews - TAS, Stereophile, Audiogon, etcetera @gerryah930 I do not think you are trying to incite et cetera. | |
| New idler for Garrard 401 I am lucky to have 2 refurbished 401 turntables. Last night, I compared the two - one with an almost perfect rubber idler and the other with the Audio Silente idler. Oh dear. No comparison. Piano is stable like I've never heard it from a turntable... | |
| Need some Amp help - a little new to properly powering speakers Very few have done wrong by using tubes over transistors. My (now unused) 70watt KT88 tube amp drove my Spendors to deafening levels with serious bass. The Polks being 88dB at 8R should sound great with even a 30w integrated tube amp especially if... | |

| What's your favorite lyric from a song? "If you chew tobacco, and wish upon a starYou'll find out where the scarecrows sitJust like punchlines between the cars"-- Tom Waits, On the Nickel. | |
| Pre-Amp Shootout Great read! I have been a fan of the GE 5751 triple mica black plates, using them in my Croft 25R preamp. Black silences, sweet, pinpoint focus, albeit with a somewhat flat and smaller sound-stage (compared to Sylvania Gold drier yet cavernous sta... | |

| How to "mount" acoustic foam ? I used the term deleterious. I am not denying that the foam tamed certain aspects of the sound. It did. And extremely effectively. Bass was reduced by a significant factor while higher frequencies were "tamed". Whether foam sounds bad in itself, I... |
