Where is Your Turntable?
Well then 4yanx, there can only be one other explanation -- termites!! 
Where is Your Turntable?
4yanx -- is there another wall, right behind the first one your wall shelf is attached to, that joins it at a right angle just to the right or left of where the wall shelf is?? (I hope I'm right on this one!!) What might be happening is the horizo... 
Where is Your Turntable?
Mthieme, RE your ringing granite shelf: The rubber buttons are making the ringing worse. A little tip: when you put a heavy material like glass or granite on a another surface or shelf, place a sheet of thin 1/16" foam between them (you can find i... 
Power amp power draw questions
Yes, but the 20A is at 120V. I don't think you're running 120V into your speakers!! 
Where is Your Turntable?
OK, so here's my little prepared speech concerning the ergonomics of TT placement: everything else aside for a minute, I would like my TT as close as possible to my listening position, so that if at all possible, I can be seated when the stylus hi... 
star grounding question...
Stan, Like I said, you want to have a continuous ground from your new AC sockets > to your sub panel > to your main panel. If you put in a new ground rod 70' or more away from the one at the main panel, there could be a potential (voltage di... 
ac conditioner
Hifimannen -- I think the people at any of the manufacturers mentioned above would be candid in saying if doing what you propose is not the best way. They have nothing to gain by creating a dissatisfied customer. I would definitely call them all a... 
Levinson 23.5 or Rowland 7 MK3 amps
I've had my 23.5 for 14 years. I drove my CLS IIz electrostats for 12 years with a pair of ARC tube monoblocks, and for the last two years with the 23.5. I think they sound as good (if not better) with the 23.5. I have no experience with Rowland a... 
star grounding question...

Stillpoints vs Symposium Rollerballs
If you want only to "drain off" internal vibrations created within a piece of equipment, then you need a "mechanical diode" like cones, rollerballs or graphite bags. (A "mechanical diode" BTW is something that lets the vibration travel in one dire... 
Phono preamp or preamp with phono selection ????
For someone just starting an analog adventure (vinyl, not tape) you can let your choice of cartridge determine the type of preamp(s) or vice versa.My advice is: start simple. You can always get complex, and at the beginning, simple always gets you... 
Acoustic ceiling paint???
Here's a very cool, very slick, very cheap solution for achieving both absorbtion and diffusion (and I can hear the screams, but I'm an architect, I've done this many times, so let me 'splain Lucy :~)Have a company come in and spray a "cottage che...
