Speakers: Anything really new under the sun?
This takes some effort, but it worked wonders for me. I'd love to hear if others can achieve a similar result. Grab a suitable grounding cable and connect it to the frames of all speaker drivers. You'll be amazed at the improvement. Manufacturers...

As long as THD+N is below audible range, who cares? The only reason to worry is when impacts the sound in an unexpected way.  
Fuse Direction for Pass Labs Amp and Preamp
jasonbourne52 @mitchb : I see you have drunk the fuser Kool Aid! How can you believe this nonsense that a small piece of wire - which does not carry a music signal - can somehow change the character of a component - and cost hundreds! Enlighten ... 
The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same?
He says fancy audio gear is a waste of money because the data is already bit-perfect.  That's a tired old ill-informed argument. In any case, a DAC is a Digital Analog Converter and bit perfect has nothing to do with analog.    
Let me explain something to you jive turkeys.
I don't care if it's Beethoven or Roll Over Beethoven. Quality is in the ear of the beholder. This age thing is so Yesterday and childish.

nonoise I think this is now the 3rd time I've posted a link to this topic over the past 2 years concerning ASR I'm glad you did because I missed the others. A lot of ASR fans may consider it tough and cruel but honestly it's compulsory reading.  
Speakers for string Quartets
I'd suggest you consider Russ Andrews' Plug-in RF Router or even the RF Router MK 2 as this type of music could really benefit from it. All ground wires are connected through it to a separate general power outlet or self provided earth rod if you... 
DIY TT
rauliruegas Everything in the eBay address from the question mark on (including the ?) is irrelevant and is best removed as it's only purpose is tracking. https://www.ebay.es/itm/194880213872 is completely adequate and preferable.

I do find his test results interesting from a technical point of view but totally irrelevant for assessing audio reproduction His choice of avatar irritates me no end as it suggests an unjustified superiority or arrogance.   
God doesn't need to know what time it is.
Who needs a watch when the time is readily available from the device in your pocket?  
Western Electric surveying market for (domestic?) mfg. of other tube types?
Great news. Let's hope it happens. GE could also export them and provide stability. The broader question here is as a country should we only be dealing with other like minded democracies? It might not stop supply issues altogether, but it certain... 
Grounding cable gauge size
bugredmachine The Andrews should have a filter network in it like the Groundmaster to make sure what goes in does not came back through. What makes you think it's just an empty box with a simple wire in it?  
What is an audiophile? Are you an audiophile?
millercarbon 12,415 posts No. I am not an audiophile. I am the audiophile. I won't be drawn on that, but I do wonder why the absence?  
Speakers: Anything really new under the sun?
Yes that is it. Good find! I'd be interested to know what others think.   
Speakers: Anything really new under the sun?
I recall seeing a video on YouTube (sorry I don't have the link) that showed a cone flexing and going out of shape as it moved in and out, so the selection of cone material by the manufacture is really important. Absorption material in the enclos...
