Can we create a consensus list of the TONALITY of different amps/preamps/brands?
As many have stated, there are way too many variables.                                                +1                    ...everyone hears differently.                                                 +1                              (sub... 
Weights on top of equipment to dampen vibration
                                          SO MANY variables!  
Shouldn’t Do This, but…
@goofyfoot - ... wouldn't just a pair of hospital latex gloves achieve the same purpose?        How much insulation (thickness & toughness) would you prefer, between your skin and the (typically) sharp end of an energized, electrical condu...

Test CD s, which ones to get.
     I've got the Ayre CD and value it highly, especially for the Pink, Brown and White Noise tracks.     Great (on repeat) for burning/breaking things in.      But: whenever test CDs, imaging or soundstage are mentioned, I like to remind people ...

    +1: on keeping anything built by Saul Marantz.                I envy you on the acquisition(s).  ...however they should be looked at by a competent tech as there are parts that will need to be replaced.          Absolutely (especially: an... 
An argument for fuses and maybe power cables in power amplifier
@andy2 -                                                          +1        Very little to nothing can be done*; to improve the sound of truly inferior audio components.         *nor: To dispel the lingering miasma of a Denyin'tologist and the ... 
It's the Cicadas!
@simao - I've been screaming for sex for years now, but my wife always says it's the cicadas.                      Stop screaming and try being a cunning linguist*.                           * SHE'S supposed to do the screaming!             ...

@asvjerry -                                       OH, and: Thenk you, Dr. Whiplash..... ;)                    Yu're welcome, I thynk?    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@asvjerry -    They know  What is What          BUT They Don't Know    What is What      It just suks             Funny!     AND: a snowflake had me deleted, just recently, for saying, "it's like teaching a box of rocks, to sort your socks!", ... 
An argument for fuses and maybe power cables in power amplifier
The why after market power cords make a difference?  Lots of theory... Actual testing using testing equipment? Just my ears. I don’t watch oscilloscope screens or listen to test tones.  Just music, using my ears.                                ...

                                                   btw:              I'm not disagreeing with any postings, prior to mine, in this thread.              ie: everything in the power supply/AC source is in the signal path*.        *In every gain s... 
An argument for fuses and maybe power cables in power amplifier
     Back in March 2022: a thread about power cords and break/burn-in was started.      I hate to type, so: I'm going to copy/paste some of my speculations.      That a highly complex musical signal, MIGHT affect Poynting vectors and signal spee...
