| Proximity Hum And How To Eliminate It I finally got rid of the last vestiges of a very faint hum by….moving the cables from phonostage to preamp around. I can’t believe it made this much difference, but the proof is in the pudding. Now I am terrified to move anything for fear of losin... | |

| Question on Denon DL-103 retipping options and preferences I recently traded for a 103, and have been enjoying how it makes my records sound like late night radio listening as a kid, in the 70s and 80s. But really, it is much inferior to the next model in the Denon line up, the 301 mkII. Unless you also w... | |
| Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital" I've been trying to figure out why I can listen to LPs all day long, but rarely listen to digital music for more than an album or two, for a few years now. Granted, I am fascinated by everything turntable and everything vinyl. How these crazy pla... | |
| The most erotic passages in classical music Mos' def the most erotic piece of classical music is Le Sacre du Printemps. And here is the sexiest choreography - a shame Igor did not live to enjoy it. ;) | |

| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? This makes one wonder how various aural skills might affect the study in the OP.In particular, I wonder how rigorous conservatory ear training might affect results (when you have to have aural memory foundations, like harmonic pitch intervals, and... | |
| Denon DL300, 304 I am enjoying a DL-300 on an RB300 arm. It is an excellent match. A very well-balanced cartridge, from lows to highs. Pretty good tracker. For $50 USD I am quite pleased. This is one of the last sleeper bargains in LOMC cartridges. | |
