| DIY Nearfield Monitors Cwlondon, there is a Wilson type DIY cab out there. I was slobbering over the possibilities of trying it out. Except for the fact that it would take me 2 years..or cost me the same as a Wilson if I had someone else build it. But its an awesome att... | |
| Setup vs. Amp/Preamp choice? Jaybo, lol...and lets try to remember that what goes on in an audiophile's head...should stay in an audiophile's head...get it...like in Vegas? Sorry, bad joke. I'll leave. | |
| AntiSkate-crooked Cantilever correlation? Personally, there is no way in hell that I would let that much force be exerted onto the cantilever. Secondly, tracking is not correctly being accomplished as the LP is playing. It is imperative that both sides of the groove are tracked correctly.... | |
| tone arm drifts towards the outside when lowering correct directives from the previous 2 posters. Use a bubble level to make sure the table is level. Also, make sure the arm is perpedicular to the table itself. If you have an anti-skating adjustment it could be set very loose in the sense of it t... | |

| Recommended new speakers for under $500? Dracule1, I had Thiel's, Acoustic zen, JBL monitors and a few others in my main system for a good while. All were excellent. I decided to keep my MMG's as my mains for a good while because I could not give up those mids/highs. I tried a few differ... | |
