Vinyl static ionizers who's used them?
I threw the Hudson anti stat brush across the room. That’s the second one. What a waste of time. Yes the carbon fibers in it are conductive and with a meter I checked continuity to ground through them.  It's a high resistance but there is a path. ... 
How tall do you like your images?
One reason why I like my LRSs and my previous MMGs is the large soundstage top to bottom.  And now that I put them on subwoofer bases they are even taller.  Maybe too tall now, now when they are close I tilt them down a bit.  Changes the high/lows... 
When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached?
I can confirm that DACS can sound different.  The one in my Onkyo 7030 is warm and somewhat polite,  If I go coax into my high end - ahem - Fosi Audio DAC 05 the sound becomes more clear with better highs. I also just had a SMSR and Topping DAC i... 
How Do Amps Affect Soundstage?
If only there was a way to measure soundstage, transparency, definition and dynamics.  
Magnepan owners. Fuses or what
Yeah but I’ve blown a fuse on an older Maggie. I suspect the fuse changing thing gets into the psychoacoustic area and I’m not willing to risk speaker damage for a placebo effect. A fuse perhaps adds a tiny resistance to the higher currents. None... 
Vinyl static ionizers who's used them?
I check static by hanging some toilet paper and seeing how the record pulls it or not.  The zerostat will neutralize the record but it does seem that some static builds up again while playing.  Makes sense to me that it's from the stylus. And I l...

Bookshelf Speakers Sitting On Dual Subs?
Paul Mc Gowan sez dual subs at the main speakers is fine and preferred.     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pp-0vvqERAs  
Aidiogon is Da Bomb!
So, you love a certain cable huh?  And which snake oil one would that be?   🤔😏😁

Try gain 2?    
Magnapan LRS+ VS .7
That’s funny. Go to ASR to see how it sounds. Especially for speakers.    
Why Do Cables Matter?
I’m a cable skeptic. Especially speaker cables. As long as they aren’t 20 gauge or something like that. But I am open minded. It could be that I just don’t know any better. That happened once before. Just once though. I also suspect that most of ... 
A Few Turntable Measurements using the RPM Android App
Speaking of environmental noise coming through. What about using those rare earth magnets to levitate the turntable.  Maybe use rubber bands to keep it in place.  I just might try it.  Sounds like a fun experiment.    
A Few Turntable Measurements using the RPM Android App
Hmmm terry, 45 kg is ...... like only 99 pounds, not even a hundred.  Watt?  1.8?     Wow.  So on my Music Hall with the I think like a DC synch 4 watt motor I can do a 90 kg platter.   That's a lot of 4 oz fishing weights I have to glue on. I b... 
Magnepan LRS+ which amps do you use ? * 100 watts or less **
Enjoy your new speakers Oblgny.  I have an old pair of the MMGs in storage.  They started to delaminate that I fixed and a foil broke that I somehow repaired by soldering a wire across and holes were drilled into the wood edges so I could mount th...
