Cable comparison charts?
Do you love your family? Prove it. Do you love them more than I love mine? Prove it. Give me a spreadsheet on all of that. How do cable sound is NOT a spreadsheet question. How cables sound is NOT a checksheet/checkmark question and answer set. Ho... 
Shipping. Hard Lesson.
Extreme amounts of packaging materials. bubble wrap, foam corners, all kinds of stuff.Double wall boxes, etc. usually about 1-2 hours to be packed by an experienced amplifier shipper. the ups guys LOVE to drop this stuff, to drop it hard, on cemen... 
Poor value vs snake oil...
or can point to measurable change, There's the rub. As we don't have a full understanding of how the ear/brain works regarding the minutia of an audio signal. So the proofing system for the question --- is incomplete.  Not only incomplete, but t... 
Long XLR cables - help me decide
Steve over at audio sensibility *take 5 audio Parts connection *when it comes to PCOCC, he’s as close the OCC situation as you will get. As in Dr Ohno, being a friend of the family. Seriously. (OCC=Ohno Continuous Cast) 
Objective Studies?
The most important takeaway in the objective vs subjective ’battle’, is that a correct theory takes into account and can accommodate for all parameters on the table of discussion. That is how winning theories become more real, or ’factual’ in the ... 
Long XLR cables - help me decide
You’ll have to look for a (raw bulk) cable design that has the attributes you seek..all while remembering that your system is off kilter in the area of not having a perfect noise aspect, or perfect s/n ratio in the realm of dynamics or micro disto... 
Mint LP Best Protractor
the bigger problem with the geodisc, IIRC, is finding the center point of the tonearm pivot. Missing that by a degree or so can and will generally give you a bit more unwanted inner groove distortion. As we go to (move up the stylus chain of quali... 
Cabling Question -Only One Prong of Spade is Contacting Terminal.
It is recommended that you go back in and check the tension a few times, check the tightness. as this arrangement can loosen more easily than a best fit spade arrangement. the vibrations and subtle motions can make it so, and will. So check those ... 
Does anyone manufacture an alternative Linn Sondek belt pulley ?
A Linn pulley should sit slightly back, not a perfect 90 degrees to the spindle, IIRC. Just a degree or so, IIRC. If it is anything else, and cannot be adjusted to this ’perfection’ that is required, and contains any other unwanted angles or mis-p... 
l just discovered another one of the record companies dirty tricks?
channel phasing effects can be off, when you swap channels. the mix...is the mix...in most stereo albums. They are NOT dual mono. properly done 'stereo' has specific ambience cues which are phase sensitive, complex micro and macro in situ phase se...

The paper downloads from vinyl engine. I mentioned using double sided tape and gluing them to cardboard, in order to make it to the semi- correct record thickness. Try to use a thinner cardboard, if you can. Drill the spindle mount/position hole i... 
Mint LP Best Protractor
vinyl engine free protractors. Printed out on a laser printer then mounted to a piece of cardboard with some double sided tape. Don't even have to leave the house or spend more than and hour getting to having things all aligned up.... 
Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements?
I have a very good friend who actually sells real power distribution systems around the world (think electrical infrastructure for cities of 11 million and then some). If you guys continue with this wire expertise, I will have to call him in for ... 
Should a reference speaker be neutral, or just great sounding?
It is always good to remember, or understand, that objectivity arose out of an attempt to emotionally separate from a purely subjective framework context of all possible representations of reality. That objectivity exists it 'is' via a purely subj... 
Are the loudness wars fake so record companies can destroy the music?
And I’m going to do the exact thing I should do. I’m going to put my thinking cap on and not dismiss this before looking at it. Closely. and in that, to not dismiss parts of it that may also make it a mystery. As that is what clear headed investig...
