Do Turntables sound better with time?
Things will change over time; bearing oil or grease can deplete, capacitors will fail, speed stability can degrade / wow and flutter can increase … BUT obviously depends on what make as to what (if any) of those things are relevant or audible. Oth... 
I feel bad for Generation X and The Millennial's
You only heard what some business man allowed through the gate. Congratulations on your limited knowledge.  
New Pink Floyd release
This thread is hilarious. Always sad to hear the bigots come out of the woodwork. Again, for those that are slow; the queer community did not give a crap about this Pink Floyd release, it’s the conservative hypocrites being offended by a rainbow t...

@styleman It’s ironic you call woke people “stupid and dumb” considering that’s redundant, but more importantly it’s you who misunderstands the entire situation. The artwork contains a rainbow, and it’s “anti-woke” morons that are claiming Pink Fl... 
Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused
Powered ATC monitors rule the mixing/mastering world. I think most dudes are just attached to components as it’s ritualistic.

@lewm Yes it’s too niche, hard to work with, expensive and HEAVY… I agree probably never going to be mainstream. Closest thing to that are the Artisan Fidelity plinths.

@musicmatters1206 @mdalton  Beautiful! Also if you’re in the market for an idler, check out Matt from Audio Grail. He he specializes in Garrard 301 and 401 and works a lot with Cusworth plinths which are hand shaped and jointed.

@pindac  Yes the Nutube was quite a fun build, only a few hours! I’ve also done a few ACA monos. So, you’re doing an alternate version of B1 that’s balanced? Assuming the larger component you mean an upgraded power supply that’s internal? One thi...
