| Choosing a MC phono preamp for my new cartridge I looked at a LOT of phono stages for almost 2 years. I was down to a Herron and or a Decware. Well I purchased a Decware ZP3 with a tape preamp option. 6-8 month wait. I looked at a Puffin.. I can't find a bad review. Firmware updates, opamp / FE... | |

| Cat Scratch Fever? 120 million are born every year, 60 million die every year. That in the ball park..The only reason more people didn’t die was because BILLIONS of people were aware and tried NOT to get sick. In spite of the millions that were aware and didn’t give... | |

| Acoustically incorrect cooling? You lost me MC how does it draw more air through? By enclosing an area? I hadn't though of that, I suppose it would work. I've seen some weird ways of cooling things for sure.. Velocity vs area.. Could get a twofer if the insert were say cast alu... | |
| The Absurdity of it All Well OP I took care of my ears. Every concert (well over 150) I wore ear protection if it was needed.. The last 50 - 60 I went to they were pretty small venues, WITHOUT a lot of LOUD!!! I still kept plug in my pocket.. A lot of my counterparts (me... | |

| Acoustically incorrect cooling? Silicone will withstand the heat. There is silicone tube in different sizes.After you find the size between the fins, cut to length and place the tubes between the fins. IF the tubes WON’T hold their roundness (well enough)Get a tube of silicone a... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? Thank God GAS passes one direction, you'd be smellin' your own FARTS.. Cable is the same way.. But that gas may have come out of your ears, for all I know. Maybe you do have a gas problem.. I know your full of, well let's just call it misinformat... | |
