| AMPLIFIER BLOCKS g_ I've tried 100 lb amps on 3 tomato cans (on their sides) without creating pizza. I position them at various angles to discourage rolling the amp. | |
| AMPLIFIER BLOCKS Tomato cans can support a lot of weight, but of coarse one has to apply reason. (I know it sounds weird, but it works....as does everything) | |
| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? ..another fan of ClearDay shotguns.....if you contact Paul, he'll most likely send you an audition sample for free. Take advantage of his offer. | |
| AMPLIFIER BLOCKS Everything you do will make the sound different. I use Audio Points, but have used Cardas Blocks, et al. Try the little cans of tomato paste in their side...point them in different directions to prevent the amp from rolling around....(this is se... | |

| Wrong way to clean a stylus! I remember Linn Sondek suggesting the sandpaper stripe of paper matches is perfect for cleaning the stylus. | |
| Da Benz? Benz LPS ....much better.Invictus......can't believe you called the Atlas a bizarre bastardization of music. It is certainly one of the best cartridges made. Perhaps it wasn't set up well, or the preamp was inadequate....but the Atlas stands hi... | |

| Musician vs. audiophile When I was in graduate school getting advanced degrees in music, most of my professors had crappy portable players. When I asked them if they had better at home....they all said that whatever is missing they insert the necessary sounds. | |
| aluminum platter vs Acrylic not what I thought I have a Superscoutmaster that came with the Superplatter. It was a revelation when I changed to the Classic platter.... The Super sounded slow, and turgid....certainly reduced highs with rolled lows..smaller sound stage, all wrong. I thought... |
