 I know, it is a small number, but just the thought made my brain explode. I doubt that I will understand it. This course of logic doesn't come easily to me, and so that may be the reason it fascinates me.   The things that we may never understan... 
TT speed
It still twists my mind, but I enjoy the talk. Thanks. It is almost like an original thought for me that now will be a challenge to analyze.  I see different perspectives here that don't jive. One aspect can be true from a certain perspective, bu... 
Question about Class A
Glad to hear that you bought the Sudgen A21SE. IMO there is also build quality to be considered when a purchase is made, and so in this case you won't have any regrets. I think that in integrated designs, the pre and power sections can be optimize...

A Warning for Owners of Furman IT Refernence 20i
Just wow. I appreciate the accurate description of what has occurred, an NO, few of us here would find your explanation boring. In fact, I am always interested in the guts of a unit. Interesting to note the size of the transformer in particular. I...

OP, Though I couldn't get what you were describing, it finally came clear when larryi posted. Whether it matters or not, it still is something that I had never considered before. A new thought for me. I very much appreciate discussing or learning ... 
Record Static Charge Affecting Vertical Tracking Force (VTF)?
 Never heard of a static problem to that degree! I mean pulling a tonearm? Platter mat sticking to the LP? The one thing that might come to mind is to ask if you are using negative ion air cleaner in the room. I quit using one in my electronic sho... 
Technics SL-1500C or SL-1210GR
 Looking at the SL1500C was alluring until I noted the built in phono amp. Crap. That is always a warning to me. Seems like manufacturers are feeling out the crowd as to whether these add on phono amps or USB connection is a way to entice possible...

 I am still thinking tracking error, but the aspect of speed throws me off that idea.   
A Warning for Owners of Furman IT Refernence 20i
emailists   That is a good question. The reason that I would tend to doubt it is because it seems that many manufacturers change up parts from model to model and even from unit to unit., let alone year to year. That is a blanket statement, I will... 
Why this forum deletes full threads ?
Why am I smiling after reading all this? So many times I get good information here in the form of opinion or science, but the entertainment value can be high if you have the stomach for it.   tubebuffer, you crack me up man. Don't stop.    
The Growing Challenge of Buying NOS/NIB Tubes
 The best tubes that I ever bought were from a guy that if i met him in person, we would be in a fist fight, and I would be winning. Don't need the long pauses and sighs during a phone conversation. Thing is, this guy knows his stuff better than a... 
A Warning for Owners of Furman IT Refernence 20i
Unfortunately, I have heard of this sort of problem more than once. A good friend of mine lost his home to a plastic power strip that ignited. Any unit that I own that has to do with power is built within a metal case. That, and location of the po... 
Buyer Dispute
    I wouldn't have believed it myself, but a customer sent back a non-working unit that was working when it left. In my case, even though the product was decently packed, there was a jarring so hard in shipping that it snapped both power leads of... 
Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs)
I was more curious about the differences, good and bad between class A and D. Assuming that we are talking about amps that were designed for the best performance at their price range, it is a closer race to me about which I prefer. In fact, it mat...
