Grounding turntable to stop static pop.
OP, be aware that cable and router boxes can cause a lot of noise in your stereo.  Look there if your using it for a source.Noise, routing is usually a problem, cables just can't be plugged and dropped.. NONE of my cables touch. It looks like "Cab... 
Broken ground phono connection
Is a 5vdc ground the same as a 120vac ground? Not ALL grounds are equal. Really they are not.. AND you don't want them to be either.. A 5 volt dc computer ground is not shared with 120 volt ac ground.. A - doesn't always mean ground, there can be ...

Powering Old Infinity towers with Peachtree 125 sky-- with analog EQ
It depends on how you wire it. In series there won't be a problem.RSIIIa easy to drive..  Try them alone first..  I have a few RSIIbs, RS4b and 2 pairs of the first Infinitesimals. I've always been an early RS Infinity guy.. Regards 
Should I replace Denon DL-103R with Dynavector DRT-XV1 mounted
tomic601 I know Mike, to well.. LOL TWO years on a C11, I thought I was going to go NUTS waiting. That was two years ago and I still haven't taken it out of the box. It's a fresh rebuild. He did my C20 at the same time. That took 4 months.. He ... 
Is louder better?
No, but less background sure does help. 2-4:00 am is the best listening times.. Nice quiet background, low volume listening, valves glowing... That's the best..Drinkin' and volume go together..:-)Regards 
2 Ohm Tekton Pendragons
To have GREAT bass from 2R speakers, you will need 8 runs of AWG10 speaker cables to feed it... or, if you want to simulate my setup in a 2R scenario, then it’s 16 pairs of cables! <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<&l...

If your like the rest of us, we live and learn.. Sometimes the learning curve is a lot more expensive for some than others.. I've churned my way through a few pieces of gear.. Funny thing I never lost money. TIME yes, money no..  Come to think of ... 
Bi Wire Question
If your adding two amps sources to your speakers, make sure you remove the jumpers from the speakers, ay. I know it something you thought of. BUT some folks forget and leave the jumper in. It is ok if you Bi-wire, but not if you Bi-amp.. That can ...

Should I replace Denon DL-103R with Dynavector DRT-XV1 mounted
I went from a 110 and  103r. The 110 was better because I had to use a Denon step up on the 103r (I still have it). The 110 was better. I just got an Ortofon Black MM. It just whips the pants off my 110. 567.00. It was close to the same price as t... 
QUESTION about Installing "Matched" Tubes
Mercy, they aren't matched that well prof. That's for darn sure. If  within 15% is matched.. You're ok..  You want to match the first number and the second number is what is left in the tank.. pretty simple..You want those to be in pairs to.. I'd ... 
2 Ohm Tekton Pendragons
If they are like most bass section, they will go from 2-22 ohms without some type smoothing. Phase shift of that magnitude from a bass driver is demanding enough. BUT below 2 to over 20 ohms @ 2-400 hz. That is the reason for the bloated bass a lo... 
PASSIVE SUBWOOFER DRIVEN by a 2 CHANNEL PRE-AMP + MONOBLOCK ?
Crown, QSC, Behringer (12k) All work well for bass duty.. I really like Behringer 12Ks, 500.00 each. COOL as can be.. Waves in the neighbors pool!!! :-) 
2 Ohm Tekton Pendragons
LOL not at 2 ohms MC it just won't happen with a valve amp. A Mac will do 2 ohms in series or paralleled. BUT only in mono. At 4 ohms in mono they sound OK at best.  2 ohms, you could fry eggs on it.. I have no doubt.. The older MC275 get HOT.. @ ...
