Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
Mapman, speed constancy while playing music is a major keep. Also major vibration control is essential. I certainly have heard very expensive turntables that were massive and had lots of bling, but sounded pretty poor. I think it is also the case ... 
Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?
Opps, I've learned it is not the Rick Schultz of High Fidelity Cables. 
Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?
Billgaw, there are several manufacturers of such devices. I have tried those by Exemplar and found they had a very nice improvement. When I got Rick Schultz's High Fidelity series of cables, I accidentally noted that without the Loops, the sound w... 
Why Don't More People Love Audio?
Mapman, but I know many of them. They tend to not be "technical" in the university sense of the word, but rather military or self trained. 
Fuses that matter.
Mapman, I know your concerns but most components have externally accessible fuses. 
Fuses that matter.
Mapman, I like the IMHO. As long as people respect the fast versus slow distinction and the amp value on the stock fuse, experimentation is perfectly safe. Why you would advocate avoiding the fuse tweak, I don't understand. 
Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking?
I could have list many such products, such as the ARC SP-3 pre and Dual 75 stereo amp, the H-Cat preamp, Fulton Premiers and speaker cables early on, but the reality is that whether I was looking or not, I found superior components. I now know tha... 
Fuses that matter.
Turboglo and Vhiner, most reviewers don't have the benefit of manufacturers coming to their listening room and setting up already brokenin equipment and setting the room to optimize their equipment. And, of course, those who get this benefit may b... 
Review: Stillpoints ERS Tweak
I am in a quandary. Years ago I bought four sheets of ERS paper. On my Reimyo 300B amp's transformer, I initially cut a 3 by 2 inch piece. It was awful. I cut it in half and tried again. This went on until the piece was a one half inch square, but... 
Fuses that matter.
Almarg, i wonder if any manufacture has ever gone about choosing a fuse value this way. I know with certainty two who went to a different value when the first was blowing too often. I think it is more like civil engineering with a big safety facto... 
Fuses that matter.
Vhiner, IMHO this is poor design, but that doesn't help you either. Sorry! 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
Jcaudio, get the Ultimate speaker wire off the floor. You will be amazed.Cenline, everybody tells the same story in different words. Everybody the Ultimates take over a month to breakin and maybe longer. Also don't move them are you waste a full day. 
Fuses that matter.
Mental, I understand but I actually participated in a comparison of two Home Depot cheater plugs ( 3 to 2 ac converters). One had been zapped on the Tesla coil and one not. It took but a few notes of everyone to say the zapped one was clearly supe... 
Fuses that matter.
Mental, I think that the use of the Tesla coil on the SR Quantum fuses is a crucial. 
Fuses that matter.
Vhiner, at some point I would strongly suggest that you get some to the WA Quantum little fuse Chips to put on the center of the SR fuses. Also try the fuse both ways and use the best sounding direction. SR claims their fuses are not directional b...
