| Modify/Tweak Monster Cable HTS-2500 conditioner? A better power cord will definitely help--and if you add a Highwire Wirewrap tuning device ($25) you'll get even better results. Bluenose reported using a Wirewrap with his monster conditioner. DeKay has also reported modifying his Monster conditi... | |

| Albertporter only needs 50 Listen to the Psychic...USE YOUR REFRIGERATOR!!! Make a jig with an electrical box and run your fridge through each receptacle at least four days. The fridge draws a lot more current than a fan and each time it starts it sends a decent spike. | |
| Will an entry level Project or MusicHall be enough VTA *is* crucial, no matter what a salesman might tell you. So is adequate suspension/isolation and speed/rotational stability.So be it. | |
| Will an entry level Project or MusicHall be enough You'd be better off buying a Technics FG servo belt drive w/ plug in cartridge tonearm than one of those glass and particle board TTs. Their speed stability simply sucks.If you know how to deal w/ TTs, get something better in the used market. Perh... | |
| Isolation transformers - where do I start? I'll say it again: buy one or two cheap ones and play with them. You'll get a good feel on their use and they can always end up in your computer or bedroom system. After you use them for a while clean all the contacts inside and you will be surpri... | |

| Can I mod my Technics 1200? I'm not delinquent, I've been away working out in another state the past 10 days...What can I say? Go get a cartridge alignment protractor (www.turntablebasics.com), the fluid damper (www.kabusa.com)and a brass cylinder to place next to the tonear... | |
| Bob Bundus was wrong. Is Deano wrong? I mean, he's got a very expensive rig w/ Lamm preamp, 20K Monoblocks, plus good hearing. I presume that little near field system of his has indeed some resolution..This is what he wrote about the Wattgates:http://forum.audiogon.com... | |
| How Important is the receiver vs separates in HT? Get good line conditioning and sit back and listen how smooth and open the sound becomes. Make sure you are using speaker wire that is heavy enough, too.There's a group purchase going on at Harmonic Discord regarding the DeZorel filters. I might g... | |

| Phono Section Break-In CD ?? Get one or two used DJ singles and play them over a few times. Will give your cartidge a good workout, too! | |
| Will adding 5-ch amp to receiver make a difference I am an advocate of the following axiom: "If you ask the wrong question you might get the right answer to the wrong issue."This is my question to you:Why would you want to listen to music with a HT receiver?Really...you could do *much* better with... |
