| Are there any issues with connecting speaker wire in this manner? If you can find high quality flexible (annealed?) copper then yes go for it. Solid wire does have some conductance advantages over stranded, but the lack of flexibility and the generally poor quality (re-cycled, repurposed) of industrial (ROMEX an... | |
| Does a turntable mat make any difference? I play a lot of records. I have several mats of different thickness that I use as a quick, if not perfect VTA adjustment. I suppose had I selected wealth instead of handsome, I might have a copper mat, or some other unobtanium that caught the ligh... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? I cleaned the Al Hirt section today. A lot of work, but man, he played a truly sweet trumpet, what tone. The marathon cleaning and playing session brought back memories of my Mom's record collection and her gorgeous Telefunken console, stayed up w... | |
| What to do with dead equipment Kind of apples and oranges, but my luthier made a cash offer for my old guitar tube amps. Salvaging transformers, tubes, and other parts made more sense to me than shredding or land fill. Now, if only there was an answer for PVC records.... | |

| Using PA Speakers In A Home "Audiophile" Application! There is video on you tube of a guy who salvaged PA speakers from a venue.... The horns are massive, GE drivers (I think) and a structure to support the things. Totally impractical, but man, wouldn't it be grand... High school friend had black pai... | |
| New Phono Cart with Character Needed I have a bit of a Vintage, or Golden Age fetish, and a limited source of funds. I'm very happy with my Shure V15 cartridges. V15 III is a good entry point. Don't buy from someone who doesn't post coil continuity in the description, stay as close t... | |
| 15 in full range drivers I'm curious about the cabinet design... did you buy plans? | |
| Is toeing speakers a bad idea? I'm constantly, it seems, moving speakers around. About the only constant is tweeters at, or very near, ear level. I tried to convince my wife experimentation was good.... didn't work with her either | |

| Young audiophile metal head looking to level up speaker choice Add JBL and Polk (both were very popular with my Hard Rock friends in the 70's and 80's) to your list to audition. JBL is reviving some of their classic models, with upgrades, from the 70's, and if they sound like I remember.....a can't miss. You ... | |
| What use to burn in power cords? Thanks. But I'm not clear if I have to support the power cord so it doesn't touch the floor. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? In a memorial for Les McCann I've been revisiting my Les McCann library (and doing a little streaming oh, the horror). "Compared To What" was getting played on KFML in Denver when I was a lad. I bought my first two jazz LP's; McCann's Swiss Mov... |
