| Higher amperage fuse for sound quality I can understand that an improvement may be made. But isn’t it akin to running nitrous in your car? Yes, that car will run much faster with the nitrous. You may only get it to run for few thousand miles before a rebuild, but you can have fun until... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. @rodman99999 Your assessment is correct. This is where we are as a society. The problem is that many have bought into the idea that science is the final arbitar of all truth. The bigger problem is that these same people do not adhere to sound sc... | |

| Looking for a new (preowned OK) line stage under $5K: suggestions? The basic issue is that the room is somewhat too "live" sounding, and my wife won’t approve of room treatments (it’s also a family room). I assume you have hardwood floors.

| dust protection for turntables @huang how is wood movement managed? That is a beautiful table though Going from my memory, I believe the platter is a resin / epoxy with veneer covering, though not a thin veneer as normally sold in stores. There is also a sensor on the bott... | |
| dust protection for turntables @elliottbnewcombjr Thanks. I am a woodworker and HAD to have it. Beauty may be a poor reason to buy a TT. But it sounds very good also. I had considered making a TT myself but I was really busy and I understood that there is more to it than jus... | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? I put a new piece of gear in the system and listen as usual for at least a week. During that time I am gathering mental notes of differences I hear. After I am sure I have the essence of the sound the gear produces, I then insert the old / former ... | |
| Music Hall 9.3 vs 11.3 Turntable FWIW I had the MMF-7 years ago when it first came out. It was a decent table and got me back into vinyl. But the VPI ScoutMaster blew the doors off of the 7. How much better is the 9? I don’t know. But I really doubt it will run with the ScoutMast... | |
| dust protection for turntables It is OUTRAGEOUS that these expensive Turntables are sold without dust Protection. Shamefull! Mine would have to be 22 X14 X 16 (W D H) I doubt wifey would like it very much and I certainly don't want to deal with an acrylic cover that big. .... | |

| Caveat Emptor @jjss49 with all due respect, this is speculation on your part, and painting with a very broad brush It isn’t speculation at all. Grant Fidelity wrote of their experience when they announced they would no longer sell Psvane tubes anymore. The... |
