The best audio tweak is a soft bristled paint brush...
Every house painter that I have seen carries an old brush to use as a "duster"  I too have used one for years to dust off every piece of equipment. Great to get between tubes in your amp or in crevices in the TT, or just the platter. Yes indeed, a... 
Bully pulpits
@thecarpathian  I wouldn't have to shout IF I could use larger letters. I wanted it to get attention. It worked. Just like deleting posts which disagree works. And if you think a bully just shouts, I suspect you have never encountered one. many o...

750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference
I have nothing to add except to say thanks for the thread. I was not aware of the NUC. But it looks quite interesting. Though I’m new to streaming and have finally figured out the program for the streamer I would welcome a switch to an OS that is ... 
House Wiring Does Make a Difference!
@toddalin  Good move. I just have one question. Where did you find outlets that would accept 8 ga wire? Also hospital grade outlets are better. But you might want to try Oyaide R1 outlets. A little expensive but trounced my Hosp grade outlet. I ... 
Would you sell for cash?
+1 @dill  Its hard to believe how conditioned we have become as a society. The govt would love us all to make every transaction w/o cash and instead use traceable pmt like a credit card, or a check. Cash is generally not traceable. Although there...
