| Help me Identify Electrical Noise/Distortion in my System Its not something that I knew was even possible, how does the phenomenon work? | |
| Help me Identify Electrical Noise/Distortion in my System I plan on inspecting the cable connection and swapping the cable from right to left channels to see if the issued follows - but the connection wouldn't cause the mistracking I encountered. That is due to another issue. | |
| Help me Identify Electrical Noise/Distortion in my System I have a Neoteck digital scale that measures to .01g. I have the tracking weight at 2.6g which is the high end for the cartridge. Ortofon manual states to set VTA between 2.4-2.6g. I've also messed with antiskate values from the maximum to the min... | |
| Help me Identify Electrical Noise/Distortion in my System Volume control is at the integrated Simaudio for my analog and digital sources. I do have a home theater processor connected to the HTB input on the Simaudio but I doubt that's related. | |
| Phasemation Cartridge Compliance or Alignment Issue? WAF of new cartridge is much higher than a new turntable, I need to go that route for now. | |
| Phasemation Cartridge Compliance or Alignment Issue? Thanks for the ideas everyone. I am experiencing a few different types of distortion. In the outer grooves of some records, I've noticed some midrange tones struggling to hold their pitch. For example a guitar string pluck wavering back and forth... | |
| Phasemation Cartridge Compliance or Alignment Issue? Troubleshooting this a bit more. I realigned the cartridge and the same behavior is occurring with the woofers. My last thing that I could try was to swap my phono preamp out. I mentioned before that I purchased a Sutherland Mini Loco Mkii at the ... | |

If this is the case, it makes it very hard to align with my protractor. Is it possible that a misalignment could compound the resonance issue I may ... | |
| Phasemation Cartridge Compliance or Alignment Issue? The spec from MoFi claims the mass is 35g which, based on multiple online sources can't possibly be correct. I was calculating based on a post where someone claims to have contacted MoFi and confirmed the mass is 25.14g in contrast to their specif... | |
| Phasemation Cartridge Compliance or Alignment Issue? Turntable hasn’t shifted any. I do have a subwoofer but that pre-dates the cartridge swap. The only other change is a new phono preamp (sutherland little loco mkii). Would the pulsing change over the course of a record if it was a feedback issue? ... | |
| Phasemation Cartridge Compliance or Alignment Issue? Well now I'm thoroughly confused. I must not have noticed on other records previously, but the woofer pulsing for the outer ~15% of the record is persistent on everything I'm playing ugh. | |
| Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2 I'm potentially interested in a Limited Edition DAC but I can't figure out the sale price on your website. Is part of the sale applied after checkout? I sent an inquiry through the website. | |
| Audible High Pitched Hum... Advice Needed Don't have a cable box - I stream everything from my TV connected via ethernet. The hum eliminator definitely helped in my case. | |
| Audible High Pitched Hum... Advice Needed So I purchased an ART DTI dual transformer isolator to try out and installed it between my AVR and my integrated amp - the reduction in the hum is impressive. If you stand right next to the speakers you can still hear it - and I can hear some of m... | |
| Audible High Pitched Hum... Advice Needed I've tried it both using a common ground location and keeping the streamer ungrounded without any audible difference or behavior to the hum. The turntable a phonopre require grounding together or I get noise issues. |
