Fuses fuses fuses
Hello Bob.There are fuses that are made to be soldered in, they look like resistors, and don't cost much. I use them on conservatively rated power supplies for exactly this reason. You can buy them from DigiKey - search for fuses, 'through hole' u...

I rest my case.

@charles1dad "Terry9 I can tell you that the upgrade fuses are clearly effective in my system. However you’d likely remain skeptical based on your own inherent bias and preformed opinion."Please re-read my earlier post, "I think it is possible tha...

Charles, a hundred years of experimental psychology has evolved very strong paradigms for dealing with experimenter bias, subject bias, and confounding factors. It is easy for those with expertise in engineering or mathematics to dismiss these adv...

The integrity of the electrical path is very important. For example, a properly bedded fuse sounds better than a breaker; but a breaker is capable of breaking more than one line at a time, even if a fault is detected on only one line. This can be ... 
How many LP's
I find that there are about 100 that I come back to again and again. I could live with that many, but a few thousand is better. 
No strain with the Strain Gauge,
Sounds like a nice table, Ron. Congratulations! 
No strain with the Strain Gauge,
You speak for me too, Stringreen. The problem is that the S/G system comes with it's own pre-amp, which has unique electronic features. So how to compare apples and apples? The top level alternative would have to be mated to a top level convention... 
2017 ‘Keeper’ speakers under - $25K
What Randy said. I bought Quad 2905's about 10 years ago. Since then, I've hotrodded them, bought more of them, and become more and more committed to them. So the analogy is apt.I built my own full complementary push-pull amps to drive them, and c...

Quite correct, Larry. I later realized that the effect might be caused by torque. When I get my precision torque driver I'll sort it out.My posting was ambiguous. I was not adjusting overhang, but offset angle - which, of course, should be 0 for a...

VTA is very easy. The rest is fiddly - then again, it costs $1k instead of $10k.

After further consideration, I wonder if I might not have stumbled on the correct torque (for the mounting screws) instead. I will be getting a precision torque driver to sort it out, and will report back.

@karl_desch @mulveling @larryi Gentlemen, I want to share a new discovery (to me) with you.After posting, I was considering the advantages of the linear tracker, when I wondered just how accurately my cartridge was placed on the arm wand, so I mea...

Thank you, Raul, for reminding me why I should not read your posts.

Raul, even if that remark were incontrovertibly true, which it certainly is not, it was churlish.
