Your most indispensable "tweak"?
The Townshend Podium for my speakers have been well worth it.   
Audiophiles must be careful with their remotes, vs. items on ebay.
I think The OP meant to say - Anyone can have a loose remote ..., as in not tight.  
Another review of a tweaked Denon DL-103R ??? Oh no! Boring? Surely not! Please read it!
MishaYour expertise in cartridges is way above mine. I'll keep the Shilabe in mind, but a lot of it depends on timing, condition etc., if we're talking used.Thanks.

I had talked to Terence regarding his cartridge and decided to get the modified Zu Audio 103 Mk II instead after I found out that Andy Kim did the install for the saphhire/microridge stylus (he held my ZYX hostage even though he broke the stylus a...

I’ve limited my purchases from MD for that very reason. The kicker was when I bought a used cable from Agon and ended up paying 10% sales tax. Now I purchase albums through Acoustic Sounds or Elusive Disc and check other sites before buying from M...

Caveat about the Cable Company return policy
@ehoz - I'm telling you they're like used car salesmen at the Cable Company.  I don't get why people still support companies like this.  Who cares about a interconnect library, especially given the fact that you have to pay full retail once you de... 
Turntable isolation platforms
I had acoustic feedback with my Kuzma Stabi R Tt sitting on a HRS R1X platform (on an Usher Audio Rack on suspended wood floors).  I called HRS and they suggested that I get low frequency replacement feet. Cost me around $500 for the feet and it d... 
Audio Research Sold
I heard that ARC couldn't stand the good looks of McIntosh and McIntosh was always jealous of how good ARC sounded.  It was a mutual split. 
Qobuz or Tidal?
My streamer encodes MQA, but Qobuz was cheaper by $100.  Hence went with Qobuz.  It does miff me that they don't have The Lumineers. 
Running Two TT into one phono input, best options?
