Do Turntables sound better with time?
@secretguy  thats because you didn’t plug it in  
I want more bass…
You might want to try and run a 50hz tone into the system. Lots of options on YouTube for frequency sources. Then walk around the room a listen to what happens with bass nodes, peaks and cancellations. Its surprising that you are lacking bass, s... 
Do Turntables sound better with time?
Not surprising. As has been stared above it’s a mechanical device, and most mechanical devices break in as parts set/wear into each other. My BMW S1000RR was limited to 9000 rpm for the first 1000 km. Then oil change, tune up and the full 17000 rp... 
New Fischer & Fischer Audio 670 Speakers : Made Out Of SLATE..
@rick2000  The Acora speaks perfectly to an enclosure being rigid.  
New Fischer & Fischer Audio 670 Speakers : Made Out Of SLATE..
@kokakolia  Ive build a bunch of various horn loaded speakers, ranging from 6’ tall, 300ltr double horns w 8” drivers to small 3” Baby Labs along with some voigt pipes. Yes, I like full range drivers also :) Rigidity is kind of key in ensuring t... 
New Fischer & Fischer Audio 670 Speakers : Made Out Of SLATE..
@rick2000  Id be curious to hear them. Slate, like cast iron or granite, is an intriguing material for speakers because of its resonance control and rigidity. My question was directed @serjio  who seems to think a speaker is a violin.

@serjio  Have you heard them?  
You know when you are dealing with a BS company....

Coaxials - Reality vs. Experience?
I’ve been building/listening to Coax speakers for just over two years? 5 different drivers in 9 or 10 unique enclosures? (Tannoy, SB Acoustics, Seas and Dayton) Currently listening to a pair of Seas C16N001/F in enclosures I built following Seas ... 
My 30 Watt class A is louder than my 100 Watt Class AB?
Very much appreciate the input/information! This surprise, sent me down a rabbit hole of “research”. Now, I have more questions than I had prior to this observation :)    
My 30 Watt class A is louder than my 100 Watt Class AB?
Heard back from Stanton re: the Hiraga specs Input sensitivity is .5v 30db of gain - not 26 as I had thought. That would explain the volume increase! The Cary SLP-30 I am driving it with has variable gain, so I gave some wiggle room to play w ... 
My 30 Watt class A is louder than my 100 Watt Class AB?
Volume isn’t my problem :) Using 4ohm 84db speakers, I never go past 11 o’clock on the dial :)  
My 30 Watt class A is louder than my 100 Watt Class AB?
Thanks. I re read the answers, watched the video, and it’s a bit clearer now!  Hiraga has a gain of 26db, input sensitivity TBD. Adcom has a gain of 27db, and an input sensitivity of 1.25V I’m going to contact the vendor for the Hiraga PC board... 
My 30 Watt class A is louder than my 100 Watt Class AB?
@yogiboy  Thanks! That was what I thought. Wasn’t until after I had listened for a bit that it dawned on me the impedance difference was the cause.  
DIY Steampunk Tube Amplifier, feedback please :)
Good times!  Great solution to your set up. Question. How did you deal with the switching between the two? Asking, because tube amps don’t like not seeing a load on the output. Can both the amps be on at the same time, or can only one be powere...
