The molecular level explanation of "cable burn-in"
So far all I hear is that different insulating materials, because of their dielectric strength affect the current running through them but there is nothing in the literature that I'm familiar with that explains any sort of permanent change, molecu... 
Clean power and it's affect on sound quality
@bipod72 , well Happy Birthday, and enjoy some Bourbon, maybe with a BLT sandwich tonight.  
Moving into an apartment with wood joist floors - worried about neighbors hearing
It's too bad you don't own the unit to be able to make changes to the floor.  And for the most part not cheap.  I live in a hundred year old space and the floors were changed.  Removing all the wood, then filling the space between the joists with ... 
Clean power and it's affect on sound quality
@ellajeanelle Are you talking about a remote control that you hold in your hand? Your post isn’t making sense to me, or did you add that as joke? If you are indeed referring to batteries on handheld remote controls, that is absurd and has absolut... 
OCD mickey website and negativity.
@mahgister I did make a mistake. I should have said James Joyce at his most stream-of-conscious best!  Read Ulysses twice.  Still have a hard time with it.  Who am I to argue with one of the greatest authors?  Maybe Infinite Jest is the better ana...

Free air, tighter bass - snake oil or cheap tweaks?
@erik_squires Why not put some photos on your details page of these tweaks.  Just to get a better idea of how they look.  
Comparison of sonic qualities of some tonearms
Well, @lewm is partly right.  I haven't heard a real tonearm comparison in thirty-five-plus years.  Back then there were dealers, mainly Linn who might have as many as three LP12s with three different arms and a Supex 900 Super on all of them.  Bu... 
What's up with the price of Vintage equipment?
So I was in Des Moines Iowa a few weeks back taking care of funeral arrangements for a relative.  While there I stopped into a place called Skylabs Audio in a kind of eclectic shopping area in Valley Junction, a vintage audio dealer.  The owner ma... 
Measurements for a dedicated line
So when I came home yesterday evening my Kaiweets Outlet Tester I ordered from Amazon was waiting(love their next-day delivery) for me and couldn’t wait to try it. I’ll be dropping it off at Whole Foods today as it measured an astonishing 17 volts...

@rvpiano If you have not seen this video, it might be worth your time:    
Humminguru record cleaner
@daveyf  "The ’Guru’ is an excellent machine, However, it does benefit greatly from having a surfactant added to the water ( as do all US machines). Without a surfactant and DS, I found the machine to clean ok, but there was still a certain amount... 
Beatles CD box set
I just inherited the Beatles Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Anniversary Edition 6 Disc Super Deluxe.  It's been sitting in the trunk of our car with other stuff collected. I noticed that the hard bound book was still wrapped.  Typically I'm... 
Look at these beauties
Tacky.  Looks like something you would find in Trump's New York apartment.
