Sell your $$$ cables and conditioners... affordable LITHIUM is here!
When I saw LITHIUM I just naturally assumed you meant the drug. 
The quest for the hot stamper or is it a myth
Its a White Hot Stamper Fleetwood Mac. Last I looked it showed as sold. I just checked and found a few dupes in my collection. Dreamboat Annie, Captain Fantastic, Tumbleweed Connection, Madman Across the Water, Equinox, and Aja. Mostly these were ... 
The quest for the hot stamper or is it a myth
Ashamed to say it but I must now admit to having contributed to the misinformation that comprises the majority of this thread. My mistake was taking "hot stamper" literally and missing the meaning of the people who quite correctly pointed out that... 
What can anyone say about Quarter Wavelength transmission line enclosure design ?
That's what I remember. But it was so long ago, conditions so crazy, and other equipment so much different it was hard to be sure. But they were definitely the best bass I ever heard back then, probably ever. A few deeper,  but none of them were a... 
What can anyone say about Quarter Wavelength transmission line enclosure design ?
Found it! https://sanderssoundsystems.com/downloads/speaker_builder_dec_1980_an_electrostatic_speaker_system_P...Exactly what I built! Excellent deep bass. Is this the same design you used too Rodman? 
A Night with three phono stages Allnic 1202, ANK and GoldNote PH10
Anyone in the price range of the Allnic would be well served to consider the Herron VTPH-2A. Or, for that matter, any of the earlier versions. If you can find one used that is. They are so good people hardly ever sell. I know just how they feel. M... 
Yamaha turntable YP-211 question
Probably sound better that way. Better still, experiment with wood blocks and other materials like dive weights or lead shot in a bag. BDR Cones will beat all especially if the table has 1/4-20 threads to screw them into. Nothing responds better t... 
Have speakers need new electronics
Key words above: "in-home demo." 
New TT, current Clearaudio...
My first table was a Basis 2001. Almost exactly like your Champion. Same acrylic base. Same platter. Different colors. The Basis had probably a lot better suspension. But basically the same table.So you may be interested in my experience. Take one... 
Vintage Tube Amplifiers - Any good?
We played around with old gear like this back in the late 70's. Vintage speakers connected to modern stereo, modern speakers connected to vintage amps, that kind of thing. I had built a Dynaco Stereo 400 but didn't really know anything about how t... 
What can anyone say about Quarter Wavelength transmission line enclosure design ?
I built the electrostatic panels too, rodman. Just the way Sanders described. They sure looked like they would work! But being a starving college student it took me a while figuring out how to find and buy everything for the power supply to make t... 
Which area of components to spend the most $ on? Boy I was wrong all my life!
The best most perfect system possible would neither add to nor subtract from the original signal. Whatever you start with in other words can only be made worse, not better. No speaker, in other words, is capable of correcting the bad signal its fe... 
The invention of measurements and perception
Erik,Thank you for your most excellent question, and subsequent persistent follow-up questions! Thank heavens I bothered to read all of them (and even scan a bit of others, uh, posts) before posting or I might have made a codenamegeoff of myself. ... 
EAR 834p mods - specific mods, specific sounds?
Not specific to your 834p but the one thing I have found that fits the bill in terms of everything you described (and I mean everything, like fits it to a "T") is to upgrade to Hexfred rectifier diodes. Just so you are not taking my word for it he... 
Does anyone have a good recommendation for the best quality home theater platform?
I went through this when building my home theater system. Read all the reviews, went to every store in the greater Seattle area, listened to everything I could find. Even brought a few things home to audition. Tried everything. Started with A/V re...
