| "I have the best system in the world!" An Audiophile's Journey It's not the first time I heard that people with some formal training in electronics are skeptical of things such as cabling. From my limited understanding as to why cables work, I would have thought of all people, engineers would be most inclined... | |
| Critical listening and altered states I find THC to give a hyper sharp focus. It can also turn on the the illuminated, 3 dimensional inner landscape of visuals, sound, emotions and an ineffable blend of them all, that I would bet many a person doesn't even suspect is there to be exper... | |
| Critical listening and altered states @mijostynYou’re one of the “know-it-all’s” on the forum who loves telling others they are “hearing things” or wasting their money when you’re too ignorant to understand something … and now we learn you’re a pothead? 🤦♂️ | |

| Townshend Pods under TT Don’t Do Turntables that are designed with suspension work great. Suspending a turntable yourself, not so much. | |
| Offer / counter-offer? Audiogon rules No | |
| Capacitor I’ve committed to ODAMs so Jupiters are not in my future, but @jasbirnandra may be interested as he said he is going Jupiter.I’m now pondering sizing the bypass. I see suggestions of 0.01uF and also 1% to 2%, which would be 0.033uF to 0.068uF.I’m ... | |
| Capacitor @grannyring Yes you did. Apologies my train of thought went a little haywire. I have in the past also found bypassing on a coupling cap position can have unexpected results, but it’s generally been a mixed bag.I do like the sound of my pre, much m... | |
| Capacitor @grannyring Are you talking speaker or electronics, or both? | |
| Capacitor @audioman58 “but good to use as a bypass cap.”Any value in bypassing an ODAM with a CuTF? I have a couple of CuTFs lying around. |
