My pet peeve: "revealing" speakers
Anything with moving mass tends to be the hardest, or most difficult, to remove waveform tracing distortions (in said motional mass) from. Systems that move about or translate and/or modify this thing called ’electricity’, can be easier to deal wi... 
Want to Upgrade Speakers from Paradigm
upgrade the crossovers Upgrade the crossovers Upgrade the crossovers There’s probably no better way to increase the quality over that of a personally owned set of paradigms, than to upgrade the crossovers of the personally owned pair of Paradigms.... 
Is idler drive better than belt drive or direct drive?
If we modified a impact testing rig so the given edge of the moving or rotating platter could impact upon said impact gear, we could probably prove, via data obtained... that idler wheel is better than belt or direct drive. I suspect that with onl... 
Options for ridding records of static electricity
Ralph,a very low mass addition to the platter, it is. Maybe..oh...30 grams worth. Considering the mass of the platter, that extra mass is, er, negligible.  Very outsized effect.I’m not arguing the issues of felt, either way. It just tends to work ... 
Options for ridding records of static electricity
my lp12 platter is damped, it is not stock. I has a near zero mass addition that drops the residual ring out of it by probably ......4+ magnitudes in length/tail (time). (the magnitudes thing, it is just a number I'm throwing out there. It is just... 
Soundstage gone
When I said weeks, I meant to get to the ’final’ broken in sound qualities. where there is no perceivable improvement, on a day to day basis, anymore.the majority of the break in will happen in the first few days, but will sound spitty and not cle... 
'Life Above 20kh' Research Paper, Harmonics (Overtones)
between two ears alone, on the exact same pulsed signal, the ears, as a pair, have a discernment level that goes well beyond 100khz, with regard to timing resolution, in stereoscopic placement of a ghost stereo signal. (it’s all reproduction and f... 
Options for ridding records of static electricity
I have a double thick stiffer backed felt mat for my LP12. with a label indentation area. I pulled it off an old trashed lenco, IIRC. It was glued on, from the factory. Best felt mat ever, so far... The LP12 needs a felt mat, overall. I've tried m... 
Running Two TT into one phono input, best options?
this is an example of a ’half lifted’ signal switching box. It is not preferred for phono switching. All inputs and outputs share their ground noise as a signal injection. Fairly unnoticeable for line level signals but probably noticeable for phon... 
Running Two TT into one phono input, best options?
High grade switch in a box with high grade RCA jacks. Goldpoint switch, or better. etc. There will be degradation from the extra cable, switch and RCA jacks on the given box, on the desired turntable, vs the one not connected by the switch. The y ... 
Left channel of Pass X250.5 runs warmer than right
flip the left and right input signals to the power amp, and then also flip the speaker cables. thus the amplifier will be amplifying the opposite channels, while your system is still working correctly, from the listening seat. See if the temperatu... 
Soundstage gone
New parts, when breaking in, tend to sound like dirty mono. then they go darker but cleaner, slowly... and then the speed, imaging and subtleties like plosives and the pop and the like..slowly come back..Leave the phono stage on, even when not pla... 
Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements?
For the sake of this endless argument, what is your explanation to the difference in sound with different speaker cables?Do you have one? http://www.ielogical.com/Audio/CableSnakeOil.php I read it (skimmed some) but Overall, I agree. At least in... 
Cable comparison charts?
apologies. I’m having a weird morning. Humans do tend to think the same when confronted with differences, that they lean in similar directions. If they allow themselves to be neutral about where they are coming from. And, if they are good at commu...
