New Teres 360
You know, sometimes it just looks like designers get bored and feel like they have to add something - maybe an accent - then maybe a little more here - and there - and pretty soon they've gone way overboard. Such is the case with this 360, IMHO. T... 
MM cart. Recommendation
For VTF, I just use a Shure gauge and eschew the hole "weights on the pin" method. I think that is only there for floks who don't didn't have a gauge. Upon checking, the results are the same anyway. In the instructions for the Mayware arm, it give... 
MM cart. Recommendation
I'd stick to a MM with that arm. And a light one. I understand that the Grado Reference Sonata sounds very good with the Sonus and you might be able to find one used for that or a bit more if patient. The Grado NEEDS a light arm to show its skills... 
Has anyone had experience with the Schroeder Arm
Frank, can we burn a wee more band width to include your impressions of CLD materials? :-)As an aside, to those perhaps on the fence, I heard the Reference awhile back at a local dealer and recommeded it highly in a few posts, in fact, stating tha... 
Has anyone had experience with the Schroeder Arm
Frank:Since you mention CLD, would you share your impressions regarding complementary materials when considering building a DIY armboard. Or a plinth, for that matter. Thanks

Oh, we're square! I think that's been proven. I know, I know, speak for myself! :-) 
RRL Cleaner, Vinyl Zyme, and Groove Glide
Doug, a fair response. :-) You should have a few records on which to test these products right now! ;-) Let me know how that works out!"Playing the record dirty is riskier than trying a different cleaner IMO."Depends on the definition of dirty. I ...

I understand where you’re coming from Dan. I appreciate and share your pursuit of clean vinyl. We are all only too aware that noisy vinyl (from crud OR residue) can be the bane of an enjoyable listening experience.I also know that your trust in th... 
RRL Cleaner, Vinyl Zyme, and Groove Glide
Let me ask this. If, on the one hand, there was Product A and you were not certain whether it "left anything on the record" and, on the other hand, there was product B in which you had full confidence that it left nothing on the record, why use Pr...

Graham 2.2 damping fluid amount?
I think there is 2.5cc in a full syringe, but I'm not sure. Doug, if you have the syringe in front of you and it says there's 1.9cc left, it should be easy to tell how much is gone, and thereby into Larry's arm (tonearm) - provided Larry only used... 
Graham 2.2 damping fluid amount?
Better to hollow out a 16 penny nail than try to drive that stuff through any needle. It's an H of a lot easier just to dip a Q-tip in to remove a bit unless you feel the need to recycle the stuff. Roll it up on a Q-tip and you can remove about a ... 
Graham 2.2 damping fluid amount?
Hi Larry. When I initially installed the 2.2, I followed the instructions that, as a guideline, call for about 0.5cc of the fluid. The stuff is blue and comes in a syringe, making the filling process rather easy but maybe not so accurate. You know... 
Graham 2.2 damping fluid amount?
I couldn't agree with SirS any more. When I first bought mine, I filled it according to the instructions and found it a bit "shy" across the board. Tried a couple of cartridges to the same basic effct. Then I got a wild hair and cleaned out the da... 
Is this an antique or junk?
16 rpm was used mostly for recorded voice, especially radio skits, readings for the blind, etc. A few musical recording were made, I even think a few jazz recordings in the 50's, but not many.Don't know much about that Garrard, except it is a 50's...
