| Big Data, Big Brother One of these days, it’s virtually assured, DNA will be universally used for ID purposes. I think it’s hilarious, that so many are signing up and actually paying others, to catalog their DNA profiles, family histories and backgrounds, when identity... | |

| Audio Additives Stylus Force Gauge inconstantcy @melm- If you owned an AV Designhaus Derenville VPM 2010-1(about $650K) with(say) an Air-Tight Opus 1 or Koetsu Coralstone Platinum($14-15K ea) mounted, you wouldn’t be asking that. Some of, "we"(though: not me) have that kind of scratch, for lab-... | |
| The Presslift @bimasta- Thanks for the repair tip. | |
| The Presslift When I become too maladroit to manage manipulating my VPI’s record clamp(without wrecking my recordings) and/or can’t reliably remember to reset my Raiser, it’ll be time to train someone else to spin vinyl for me. In my particular case, acoustic f... | |
| Vinyl vs high def audio i.e. 24bit / 96 or 192khz @angelgz2 - YEP! Happy listening! | |
| Small or big tubes/valves for pre amp ? Just glad I stocked up on all my favorite 6SN7s and early 60’s, grey plate/shield, Siemens CCa’s(the CDP takes six), before they became unobtainium! Again: Happy listening! | |

| Small or big tubes/valves for pre amp ? Given the number of circuit designers, over the decades, that have chosen to utilize both nine pins(ie: 6DJ8 iterations) and octals(ie: 6SN7s), and the excellent results, that have been attained with both choices, has led me to believe that blanke... | |
| NYT: interesting take on the "loudness wars" in studio engineering Like everything else, it’s all relative, though to me: compression sucks! Interesting article, links and vids, here: http://www.turnmeup.org/ (BE PROACTIVE) | |

| Small or big tubes/valves for pre amp ? "Do your amps use one or two 6SN7 tubes ? I am confused about that" As I stated: I’ve been using 1940s, Tung-Sol(round plate/JAN CTL/VT-231) and Sylvania (6SN7W/JAN CHS/tall bottle/metal base) tubes, in my monoblocks for a couple decades(one each ... |
