Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world
Why don’t you guys (and gals) get together and have a respectful subwoofer shootout? I’m sure you all can find the time during these pandemic times? And I’m sure someone has a audio studio for all of you to use? You can then test each others hypot... 
“BLOCK” Function?
@surfmuz,That works too! The first time someone responded to a post of mine here by calling it BS!? I have completely ignored that POSER ever since and I actually got a kick out of that poser trying to have an intelligent conversation with me in o... 
“BLOCK” Function?
Just for the record,I was never bullied. However,I see it every day. I just thought how nice it would be to not have to read insults. We’re supposed to be adults. From what I’ve seen,some are,and pretend. That’s why I’m going go my merry way, an... 
“BLOCK” Function?
“BLOCK” Function? @rocray,You almost got it right. But don’t just block, do what your Pop’s, Mom, Grands or big brother and sister taught you. When the bully hits you - you hit the bully in the nose. Don’t take their crap - at all. There are quite... 
Springs under turntable
@millercarbon,On your diy springy thingys are they positioned between the bottom of Moab's and the mdf plates? You are not using the provided spikes into the mdf and the diy springy thingys on the bottom of the mdf plates?Thanks 
Looking for a phono preamp that has volume control
fuzztone,+1 on the Parks Puffin and the price point is hard to beat for the op's wanted application. You don't hear too many people bring up Shannon's gear here on agon. 
Looking for a phono preamp that has volume control
great points from atmaspherei would only add that phono stage gain is the most precious of all gains since it magnifies the original and smallest signalso having more gain than you need at this critical point often introduces noise or distortion t... 
Perhaps a Stupid Question
+1 What millercarbon said.I have a Pioneer PL-630 turntable and hardwired it with shielded (cotton) 20GA Duelund wire and KLEI Absolute Harmony RCA plug IC’s. You’re going to have to decide if you need shielded or unshielded though.The improvement...

@rauliruegas,Oh my gosh, those are some turntable setups! https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/3080#&gid=1&pid=6 Do you use any vacuum tube gear in your system? Now I'm beginning to understand why you are so passionate about anything t...

Firstly, it is rookie and not roockie. So this is a relevant statement to this thread? Not at all. 
Cartridge Opinions - Sorry
When i have been in a recording studio as a pro studio player, not once did I see the boom moving around any type of axis to follow what the mic was doing (Yikes). Hey davey boy,Of course a boom doesn’t move around to follow a axis in a recording... 
Cartridge Opinions - Sorry
Dear @luisma31 : As I already told you you just don't understand about and that's why you posted a wrong question because loading of a cartridge is not because its output level but because its internal electric characteristics and the phono stag... 
Cartridge Opinions - Sorry
@tyray I fail to see the relevance of the question in your last post? Hey daveyf, What a snarky post. I try real hard to always have a civil conversation here and somehow I think you feel as if you think you are better or somehow more knowledgeabl... 
Cartridge Opinions - Sorry
daveyf,I have a question for you. And this is not for arguments sake. I'm just curious.When a blank piece of vinyl is cut at the factory, in your opinion which is more important. The cartridge/stylus making the grooves or the tone arm?Thanks
