Slipping Belt on Thorens TD-150
Sounds as if the pulley and platter where the belt touches will need some cleaning, and then the problem is likely that the belt is stretched and dry.Thus the belt needs a bit of ’renewal’.You can buy a small container of rubber renewal fluid and ...

Graphene in fuses and cost
The measurements of a fuse in a graph, as specifications... involve graphing how the element behaves in a non-linear fashion, regarding how it constricts current during transients.this adds a non linear distortion characteristic, an inharmonic or ... 
Graphene in fuses and cost
Is that a challenge I hear? Do I hear an invitation to the competition dance? :)But no, I think that Geoff might be yanking chains, just a bit, or like Taras notes when he looks at your posts and says ’Geoff is just lobbing bombs over the fence, p... 
Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl?
Its not that hard to design an amplifier that is absent the higher ordered harmonics. Such an amp will not use any loop feedback though, as feedback will add harmonic content and IMD of its own regardless of the left/right ’speed’ of the amp (as ... 
Graphene in fuses and cost
By SR’s own admission, the number is more likely to be nearer to $25, in their indicated 6:1 ratio. There is a cable bible of a sort issued by TAS, IIRC. In it synergistic states this ratio for a given company viability in the cable market.As a ma...

It’s an odd statement but it is true: ’the ground is the source’.electronics design textbooks used to (and might still have) two different versions. At least in my time they did. The classical version of calculations..... and the electron flow ver... 
Question for cable/wire naysayers.....
Well, I’ll be kind and take your comment as being not fully fleshed out, and not be inflamed via the holes that can be fleshed out by me and used to insense myself. Which your two line post is chock full of. We have to be careful to not make the k... 
Question for cable/wire naysayers.....
I always think of the responses in threads where ’nay sayers’ erupt, as being the outlier, the minimal, like 1 or 2 or 4 voices in a crowd of hundreds.Which is true.the reality is, if you get all the readers of a given thread in a room, there woul... 
New Budget phono from Parasound
IMO and IME, the variable resistance is actually fairly critical, more critical than some of the internal component choices that can be made or more important than buying a better unit or not. Ie, that if considering a preamp that is supposed to b... 
Are the folks at Vandersteen ok?
All we really know, is.... if Ricahrd Vandersteen were a Hot Porn Star, at least one of us would diligently wait in the rain for a set of his speakers. 
A few versus that connect you........what song is it?
Out on the road todayI saw a Deadhead sticker on a CadillacA little voice inside my head said:"Don’t look back, you can never look back." I have quite seriously toyed with making that one into a bumper sticker.A little bit of recursion for the res... 
Garage sale system
yes, he won, but the energy theft was in the work involved of getting there cheaply. Cheap, on paper, complex and involved, in the end. But the price was right. Ah well...a well executed trade off, one might say. 
Are medium power push pull tube amplifiers more articulate than high powered units?
the "multi tube per rail" detail smearing problem exists in solid state as well.the ’sweetest’ sound of any given amplifier line up is the single pair output devices or even single ended. A 20 year long living example was always the Bryston 4b vs ...

OK, here’s one for you Skeptics: Prove that objectivity exists.Good luck with that.
