"DO NOT BOTHER. These guys legit are crooks & criminals lol. You will end up paying more to fix any audio equipment you bring here. I gave these guys the benefit of the doubt at every step and they just continually took advantage of me. I took a turntable console to be fixed, not only did they steal my turntable (I have to assume they used it to fix another customers item) they gave me some busted turntable that was melted with no motor. I was able to compare photos I took before I dropped it off (thank god) just to realize how much these guy screwed me. The one saving grace was that initially they offered the deposit back in store credit but they gave me it back in cash. I actually felt bad because I thought they had done some work, so I gave them half back. Boy what a mistake, they definitely made out on that deal, not a single thing was done besides them stealing the original turntable. Bunch of jokes, you are honestly better off finding a retired specialist who used to work in the audio industry. I was able to find one in Cleveland that also verified the claims I made above."

+1 It seems that vacuum is the odd word out when placed in a lineup with (for example) continuum, individuum, menstruum, and residuum. I don't know why the -uum in vacuum came to be pronounced differently from the -uum in the others, but to judge from the pronunciation offered in John Walker's A Critical Pronouncing Dictionary, and Expositor of the English Language (1807), 'twas not always thus.
According to the Online Etymological Dictionary, vacuum entered English in the 1540s directly from Latin as the substantivized, neuter form of the adjective vacuus. The earliest use was as an abstract, non-count noun denoting the emptiness of space, later any void or empty space, for which one could use the Latin plural vacua or simply tack on ...
What's the difference between at hand, on hand and in hand? At hand seems to me as if you have something in reach. On hand is if you have something in stock. And in hand can be used as if you have ...
If a 'vacuum cleaner cleaner' is a machine for cleaning vacuum cleaners, then the person who cleans the vacuum cleaner cleaner would be a 'vacuum cleaner cleaner cleaner'.
Most of the "she" style labels I hear are half terms of endearment and half self mockery. I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if a man referred to a vacuum cleaner as "she" even though there is no life-threatening situation or potential harm. Likewise, objects with the label "she" are not necessarily unknown to the men involved.
Clearly they are related through Latin, from e- and vacare (out of and to empty) and from vacuus (empty), and in Latin the shared morpheme is vac-. More interesting may be the relationships with vain, vast and waste which have similar origins in Latin or proto-Indo-European, but which have more specific meanings in modern English.
A perfect vacuum would be one with no particles in it at all, which is impossible to achieve in practice. Physicists often discuss ideal test results that would occur in a perfect vacuum, which they simply call "vacuum" or "free space", and use the term "partial vacuum" to refer to real vacuum.
Perfect vacuum does not exist - there will always be some energy, some particles manifesting themselves spontaneously from quantum uncertainty, but generally lack of matter, including air is considered vacuum.
Considering their primary meanings, vacuum is used more often in a scientific context, in which case it means space completely or partially absent of any matter/air. It is a scientific term, while void can be used non-technically in a more abstract sense, but it can also be used when talking about empty space in a non-scientific way.
