| Best Tube to eliminate RFI Bruce at BWS should still have the tube shields. If not, I may still have some around here that you could borrow. The Walker kit is available from Loyd Walker, if not that too is here still in the original box. You did not mention whether changing... | |
| Set up of cartridge on linear tracking turntable. Keep an eye open here at Audiogon or place a wanted ad. Search EBAY and other audio sites like AudioShopper. There are analog sites that sell LP and cartridges, maybe one of them sells the Ortofon.There is also the more expensive Wally Tractor gau... | |
| Best Tube to eliminate RFI I have had tubes pick up RF in only one situation. However I suppose there must be some instances where it happens or the military would not have manufactured RF shields in such great numbers.In any case, the shields I purchased were about $5.00 e... | |
| Best Tube to eliminate RFI Lloyd Walker makes a kit that includes metal wrap and ground wires to place around miniature tubes that eliminate RF and microphonics. This of course, assuming the radio signal is being picked up by small signal tubes and not through your intercon... | |
| Set up of cartridge on linear tracking turntable. You are making too much work for yourself. There are mirrored alignment tools that are punched to fit your spindle and have a straight line already inscribed. These are non magnetic, reflective to aid in evaluation of azimuth and designed with bev... | |
| How to check if the tubes are matched? Specialty tube dealers like Andy Bauwman know all the test and matching parameters for popular audio products. Not only can he supply perfectly matched sets, but can suggest some NOS brands to push your system performance in the direction you want... | |
| Ever wonder why things are screwed up? Oh My gosh Viridian. I used that data on a job application and in the disclosure sheet to refinance my home!I guess I am screwed (so to speak). | |
| Ever wonder why things are screwed up? This amusing and distant topic from the subject of audio was a much needed break. If you are concerned with the seriousness of this story, I would advise you to completely avoid the topic: "Study finds your Amplifier reveal your personality" | |
| Study finds your Amplifier reveal your personality Trelja, I heard a rumor. Are you able to confirm or deny? Some time back, a closed meeting at Carver Audio was called to select a candidate to fill a high level upper management slot. Everyone was eager to agree with Bob on every topic, and when t... | |
| Rectifying bridge. Clueless link appears to be a photograph of an installed hexfred bridge. Below is the IR technical sheet at their web site. (Note, Adobe Acrobat is needed.)http://www.irf.com/product-info/datasheets/data/hfa06pb120.pdfI have installed these in a n... | |
| Rectifying bridge. No one has mentioned Hexfred rectifiers in place of the standard device. This is a mod I did to my Atmasphere and the results were very worthwhile. | |
| Study finds your Amplifier reveal your personality Trelja, your last post may qualify as the most creative in the history of Audiogon. Tempts me to audition Blue Circle. However, I fear being invited to the secret club and watched intently by members as I am offered a large portion of baked cat. | |

| Electrostatic speaker cables... I have tried many speaker cables on my Soundlab U-1. Best results were from Nordost Quatra-fil , Purist Dominus, Cardas Golden Cross and top end Audioquest, such as Volcano.All of these are extremely high quality construction, low capacitance and ... | |
| Better Maggie "feet" ? Banksfriend, I could not agree more. I use four Soundanchor stands within my system and they are definitely a sonic improvement. Add to that, Bob Worzella is great to deal with and completely honest as you suggested in your post. |
