Comparison of sonic qualities of some tonearms
@pindac The cartridges - Koetsu Onyx and Rosewood Signature - get re-tipped and refurbished regularly. I understand that the grit that inevitably gets inside the cartridge can itself get electrically charged and stress and even break the coils. I... 
The molecular level explanation of "cable burn-in"
@liquidsound  Well, I've been called names before, but this takes the cake. 🤯

@theskipperthree I am with mahgister: too long by a factor of 5, and if it was really that funny, ok. Life is short. Jokes: shorter still, preferably.  
Comparison of sonic qualities of some tonearms
@pindac All of my components get serviced every 5 to 15 years, depending. The tonearm has been serviced and functions as it is designed to. People who manufacture tables and arms say that with proper maintenance, old components can last a lifet... 
Not enough outlets
I would get a power conditioner with up to 12 outlets and plug them all in there. It doesn't have to be an expensive one.

@llg98ljk ​​​​​​ You don't need a lot of money to get to audio nirvana. I have spent about $45,000...over a period of 56 years. That's about $820 a year. My wife spends more than that on cigarettes. I hope to finish with my essay on my 56 year jo...

Throw it out!

The molecular level explanation of "cable burn-in"
"....there are no measurement data or mathematical formulas to be found to back up this amazing scientific discovery...." Therefore, at least according to the way I understand science, there was no scientific discovery, even of the mundane kind. ... 
Dog pissed on speaker
It's all your fault. If you had trained your dog to appreciate music, as I have, you wouldn't have had that problem: https://www.theaudioatticvinylsundays.com/  
Comparison of sonic qualities of some tonearms
I’ve been using the (legendary, so I’ve been told) Sumiko MMT since 1985. Just two weeks ago, I got lucky and found a NOS minty Jelco SA-750EB. Jelco made the MMT and this is essentially the same arm, but better, with newer improved bearings, it... 
Help me spend $100,000 on a new system
“….I highly recommend getting rid of the cumbersome CDs when streaming…..” Cumbersome CDs? Good lord, their raison d’etre is convenience. I must be getting old. Like, really old.   
Do you trust your ears more than measurements?

Records and CDs
