| My list of tweaks and the verdict Right ear to brain. It was a bad joke. Anyway since I have little interest in claiming what I have is the best or that any audio tweak that I spent money on must work, it simply comes down to what I’m hearing and if i think it sounds better than i... | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict I just bought 4 of the Nobsound branded Schumann generators from Amazon so I’ll get them Tuesday and they are returnable if they don’t work for me. | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict Thanks mijostyn but this thread isn’t really about my component choices but just my experience with various types of audio tweaks over the past few months and their impact, if any, on improving the hifi “brain to ear” experience in my existing aud... | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict @ricmci To quote Elvis, “Thank you thank you very much” | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict @millercarbonThanks!! I’m a big Townshend fan so will be doing more tweaking with them for sure. But I don’t love Nobsound springs cause they are undamped and their resonance frequency is much higher than my symposium stuff and they have rubber as... | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict @mijostyn Thanks!! But Don’t underestimate a room with serious footfall even if the turntable is heavily isolated and well...heavy. Do some jumping jacks in my room and it simply doesn’t matter if the plinth and platter weigh 20 kilos or more each... | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict @soundcheck6Thanks !I use Onzow zero dust stylus cleaner. I don’t think of that as a tweak though. But I will definitely look into the three recommendations you mention; unless of course the City opens up and returns to normal :) | |

| My list of tweaks and the verdict I follow now I think lol. I guess synergy, the weak link, and things like that can play a role here. | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict Hi hilde45Hard question for sure. But I feel like I have zero ego in this area and am being fully transparent to the extent my brain is allowing me to be. I had no problem saying to myself and to others as documented above that I wasted money and ... | |
| Best settings for my first MC cart In general though don’t you first look to the manufacturers recommended input load impedance which I’ve been told is the minimum spec. Then speak to the manufacturer of the phonostage and see what they recommend. Usually I’ve found they say to sta... | |
| Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way? Fatiguing speakers seem to be best suited for home theater. That’s where I put my Def Techs. | |
| The Weekend It was more like The Weakened | |
| Vinyl headache from hell!!! I had the SAME exact issue and redid the tracking force and increased it towards the high end. The cart says 1:7-1.9. I recalibrated it towards the 1.9 and the Problem went away. | |
| Best temperature for optimum tube performance One of my better purchases for my system is this exhaust fan that’s built to be placed on top of audio components and is extremely quiet.. It has 3 fans that suck the hot air up and blow it out either the front or back depending on the unit. It ha... |
