| Looking for some Hafler XL-600 Amp service/repair references There are also fuses on the driver boards(one each, at the top) and a, "Protective Relay", that can be visually observed, with regards to operation. Of course: if that relay’s not closing(or the fuses blew), there could be other, valid reasons. Ar... | |

| Advice on Tonearm/ Cartridge combo What were you using with that Koetsu, before the SME? Were you enthused, with the Koetsu’s presentation, before the SME? I could be wrong, but- it appears to me, that there are more good(as in, "upper tier"), higher mass, arms out there, ... | |
| Do they really make a difference? Definitive answer is.... For those that can hear the differences, no explanation is necessary. For those that can’t, no explanation is possible. NEVER stop listening and learning! | |
| Do they really make a difference? Definitive answer is.... What douglas_schroeder said, +1. Although good hearing/listening abilities can cost one a bit more, with regards to their audio expenditures; the rewards are manifold. | |
| What is "break in" and what difference does it make? In amps? Preamps? Speakers? More? I suppose ignorance regarding the fact that interconnects ALL comprise an, "RLC" network, to some degee, is fairly widespread. The, "C" is for, "CAPACITANCE" and- like any capacitor; the dielectric will take time to stabilize. The higher... | |

| How does modern ST 70 compare to RogueCM, Primaluna similarssound? This may interest you: https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/dynaco-st-70-series-3-tube-power-amplifier/ One of the original ST-70's greatest weaknesses, was it's power supply. In this latest iteration; that's been well addressed. | |
| Kimber Kable What stereo5 said, +1. Kimber’s 4PR is 13 AWG. If you could shorten and double the run, you’d have about 7’ of 10 AWG, per channel(same AWG as 8PR). Alternatively, if you’re able to shorten the run; you could try bi-wiring. Shorter... | |
| What's the deal with the Machina Dynamica Clock? Derangement Syndrome prompts Loony-Tune to dig up a 1 1/2 decade old thread, through which they emulate their party’s mascot(the JACKASS). HILARIOUS(not to mention: pathetic)! | |
| WD-40 for electronics Graphite is a great lubricant. It’s also a wonderful conductor of electricity, being a form of Carbon. NOT an attribute one wants, for a powder inside their electronics. | |
| Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this? Absolute Pitch vs Relative Pitch? Semantic Gymnastics? HILARIOUS! The FACT remains; human senses, mental and physical abilities, WHATEVER the subject(ie: hearing, sight, reflexes, IQ, etc) vary dramatically, AT BIRTH, between indiv... | |
| Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this? Apparently: the definition of, "aural acuity" even escapes some geniuses. As with EVERY sense; abilities/sensitivity levels vary, widely. ie: Some are born with perfect pitch and others, tone deaf. The first can’t be taught, or- the... | |
| Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this? @paulcreed - It sounds as though audiozenology’s time in the audio business, mirrors my own, though I may have had opportunity, to have designed more live venues. Something I did learn, in the over four decades spent professionally, in devoti... | |
