| Best Rock Album in 2013 While I don't think you could classify him as 'rock', I will nonetheless highly recommend Pokey LaFarge's new LP on 3rd Man records. If you enjoy Dan Hicks and Leon Redbone (and frankly, who doesn't), you find this a top notch performance and reco... | |
| Burn in Step up transformer with ipod. Get an inverse-RIAA device from Jim Hagerman. It does exactly what you're looking for, and it's a bargain. | |
| 5751 Triple Mica - really that good? Agreed, and highly system dependent. Tubes, like cables and tweaks are the audiophile's last bastion of tone control(s). | |

| High quality AC turntable motor You can't, as they are now unobtainable, nor do I suspect most owners would want to part with them. BTW, the Synchrotron runs off of 12 volts DC, and outputs either 115VAC or 230VAC. | |

Obviously as pulley length increases, run-out error at the crown of the pulley is magnified... | |
| Who remembers the FULTON cables? I believe it is Dennis Fraker of Serious Stereo who also dotes upon the 'correctness' of that 57 1/4" length (or multiples/divisions thereof). I myself can neither confirm nor deny. | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Ebm dude, Dude you have a dude problem dude. Nobody likes being called dude. | |
| Best Rock Album in 2013 Night Beds - Country Sleep (very good fidelity on this one)Unknown Mortal Orchestra - II...on LP, of course. | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? I've tried some of the Synergistic SR fuses in both my amp and phono stage. I think the improvement falls into the 'decent' category (it certainly is noticeable, but not earth shattering), but I wouldn't buy them again. While the fuse in the power... | |
