| Concentration I have music playing 3-10 hours a day and I really enjoy having it on, but a few times a week I’ll hear something that peaks my curiosity and I’ll sit down with my eyes closed and absorb every note, every pluck, every sound and enjoy hearing all t... | |
| Footers under new speakers Another vote for Isoacoustics Gaia’s for under your speakers. I love the difference they made with mine. | |
| Upgrade from Joseph Audio Pearls? Unless I win the big lottery, it’s all a moot point to me. | |
| How old is too old? If it ain’t broke??? No really, it a cap isn’t leaking or pouched out or a belt isn’t broken or stretched, why does the whole piece need to be replaced? My neighbor has a Garrard turntable from the seventies. A little cleaning a little lubrica... | |

| glowing red output tube, but don't think it's red-plating @xenolith Glad to hear it was an easy fix. I could be wrong, but I seem to recall that you're a former (current?) Dodd 120 amps owner; You must be thinking of some other guy. I’ve never owned Dodd. | |
| Snake River Audio Signature and Signature AMps series power cords. So I’ve been using USB from my streamer to my DAC. The other day I popped in a Audioquest Cinnamon RCA to see if there was a difference. There was, but it was slight. Do you all think I’d hear a bigger difference switching to Snake River? I T... | |
| glowing red output tube, but don't think it's red-plating @xenolith Red is usually a bad thing when it comes to tubes and I’m guessing that for what ever reason, that tube needs replacing.
