Potential relief for tinnitus?
I don't want to sound preachy but I'm addressing anyone who reads this who is under 30 and listens to loud music. The next morning ear ringing after the night before always "heals." You think it's no big deal. As you age that recovery slows, and o... 
How long do records last?
@ghdprentice I have to say that after watching this, I am now more willing to play albums I've been holding back on like Syd Barrett - The Madcap Laughs etc.  
Korf TA AF 10 tonearm feedback?
Not tried their tonearm, but I did try the Korf ceramic headshell. Gotta say, I did not like it at all. Very dry, tight, and lean sounding that robbed the music of air and dynamism..  
Vinyl sounds better (shots fired)
Just shows that one can use the IQ bell curve for anything.   
Why do tube amps often subjectively sound more powerful than SS ?
Tubes can have more headroom, softer clipping, and their harmonic distortion adds to the perception of loudness. And they’re just more awesome.  
Potential relief for tinnitus?
It’s a ginseng supplement. I tried something similar years ago and found that it increased the noise in my case. Cortexi

Looking for advice on outside party setup please
Ditto for the stoners? What's on the playlist?  
Looking for advice on outside party setup please
Keep the speakers behind the bar so the drunks don’t wreck them. Elevate on some stacked pavers.  
Subwoofer advice !
Many of these subs have speaker level inputs. You connect thinner wire connections from your amp (or speaker) to the sub. Depends on the model so you should check first. The subs have a high impedance input so present no load on the amp.   
Best ear plugs for both sound quality and reduction
Tight band in a smallish club and the sound was clear and clean with excellent overall sound quality. Except it was unbelievably, punched in the chest loud. I survived it using FLARE AUDIO Isolate earplugs. Anyone unprotected must be regretting it.   
One Sub or Two?
30x40 feet? Start saving for S class RELs.  
Vinyl audiophilia in the New York Times
Further to my above comment, I will say, that when Chad compared (demoed) the original 50s/60s recordings (on vinyl) with the new remastered pressings, I generally preferred the older records. I have a solid collection of originals and many are my...
