Shunyata PC Shootout
@spearl8, how so?  
Thoughts on Shunyata and Transparent?
@nyev , did you get the AQ Dragon yet, and if so any thoughts on comparison to the others?  
Anyone know the weight limit for a 4x4 Kallax with undeframe?
Ugh! Confusing yes! It had never occurred to me that IKEA would have different versions of the EKET cubes be different sizes! 😑 They’re dumb cubes! 😀 In any event, it seems the leg mount EKETs are limited to two rows. My space limitations and numb...

Typo. I meant to say 12-1/4”. Yes, I do plan to add a back panel of some sort. Probably plywood.

That’s odd. IKEA’s drawing states it as 12-14”. 🤔 https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/eket-cabinet-white-80334603/

Ah, the IKEA site does have weight information. According to them, for a 4x4 Kallax on legs, the weight limit per cube is 29 pounds.

Thanks @bdp24. Actually, the biggest reason I picked the Kallax over the EKET is because of the cube size. The EKET is 12-1/4” internally high while the Kallax is 13”. Some of my large box sets exceed 12-1/4” in height.   
The VPI forum is back
You have to register as a new user. At least right now. There appears to be no way to utilize the previous site’s user list, although Mat is working to get the contents of the old forum available as an archive on the new site.

I’m happy it’s back. Mat is trying to get the posts from the old forum available as an archive. That would be great as there’s a ton of valuable info there.

I had problems with my PH from the get go. It had really uneven frequency balance between the two channels. I was able to get my money back. I heard HW’s PH at his house and it does sound wonderful, however my own experience and others I’ve read a... 
Sussurro MkII and surface noise?
@audioquest4life , I’d love to get your thoughts on how the LPS and the Sussurro MKII compare to each other. I packed up all my stuff a year ago June. With all the crazy stuff going on it took me until July of THIS year to get everything here. But... 
Sussurro MkII and surface noise?
Hi @dhite71. At the moment I have no update for you. I was running a Benz LP-S nicely until I packed up my house for my retirement move. At the moment now, only the digital side of my system is set up in the new house. I need to get the room paint...

20 amp cables for PS Audio P20?
The P20 has the ability to be fed either by a 15A cord or a 20A cord, properly terminated. There are two AC inputs on the back. Only one can be used at a time. When used with a 15A cord the maximum power the P20 is able to manage is limited by the... 
Stylus Microscope
Keep in mind with many of these high powered scopes, say above 200x, the focal length is typically so short that if your cart is still on the arm, you’ll probably have a he!! of a time getting the scope close enough to get the stylus in focus. Jus...
