| More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music dual subs; as large and powerful as you can fit and afford. I like the big HSU Research units | |
| Can I go wrong with Stillpoint Ultra Mini anti-vibration isolation feet? @Atagulka. Hockey Pucks are HARD. You want SOFT for isolation feet. | |
| Ehernet cable question in streaming systems Ditto Supra Cat 7 or Cat 8. Doubt anyone can tell the difference between them foe digital audio. | |
| What to upgrade to? what kind of TT fo you have? If you feel it’s adequately, I’d spend it all on the best used speakers you can find; maybe phrase your amps as well? | |
| Child Damage Mitigation I’d just nail some chicken wire to the walls and to a wooden frame too high for the rugrats to climb and screen off all the equipment that way, get a remote line-level volume control if your amp does not already have one, and you’re all set. Not p... | |
| Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz. After that, try some of the big-band era groups, or New Orleans style jazz. Never met anyone who wasn’t captivated by Professor Longhair’s incredibly great piano work. | |
| Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz. Sonny Rollins, Charlie Byrd, Django Rhinehart, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Herb Alpert and Charles Mingus. That’ll get you off to a good start. | |

| The bass is the place... I use dual subs placed opposite each other midway between front and rear walls. Works for me. Never tried DBA unless you count front towers with built-in sosubs plus the duals. Have to admit, it did sound sweet. | |
| What is the average dealer mark up? Keystone (2X) is pretty standard for B&M dealers in most consumer goods, except for food and vehicles. That’s why I ALWAYS compare online sellers (Amazon, Crutchfield, Reverb, and Sweetwater) generally before buying Last B&M purchase wa... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive I modified my mid-level belt drive Pro-hectic TT to use a non-stretch Kevlar belt and a small needle-bearing idler pulley to tension it. TT bearing noise is so low it’s virtually unmeasurable on my oscilloscope. | |
| Equipment Rack - How important in the grand scheme of things? I use a standard 19” studio rack for all the electronics, sitting on a thick piece of foam for vibration isolation. More elaborate stone stand for my TT. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Nothing: packing up to move later in the week. All my gear is boxed up. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Want to use one of the dedicated “big spindles”, audiophile tables don’t use them, plus I want a stack changer like Garrard GT10 | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? And, if so, what do you recommend? |
