| Increasing tone arm effective mass? You can also add mass by using a tonearm wrap. It's neither better nor worse than adding weight at the headshell - just different. A tonearm wrap will also damp resonances in the armtube, especially if your armtube isn't internally damped.You can ... | |
| Well temp, arm drifts from away from center of rec Thanks Bob,Always fun to meet with fellow Audiogoners. It was a nice break from my family issues. Have fun with the Well Tempered - it's a great table. We're both lucky to have wives who tolerate and even appreciate our hobby.David | |
| Well temp, arm drifts from away from center of rec Baranyi,I owned the Well Tempered Record Player arm, which is similar to the Classic but lacks the anti-skate adjustment. Having observed a Classic arm, though, my opinion is that even at the minimum setting the Well Tempered design applies too mu... | |
| What receiver would be best for my epos els3 Johnnyb53,Thanks for the opposing view on the RR2150, because I was considering it for my bedroom system, just to get down to one box. Guess I'll stick with my tuner and T-amp for now.:-)David | |
| What receiver would be best for my epos els3 I've owned the ELS-3s, and they need a good bit of power to really open up. Both Jaybo and Johnnyb53's suggestion are good, and you might also consider the Outlaw RR2150. I haven't owned it, but it get's great reviews, has enough power, plus the p... | |
| Best gain clone/T-amp option You might try contacting Tim Rawson. I'm not sure he's still building amps, but if he is he can probably do something that fits both your specs and your budget. I own one of his amps and, while it doesn't look like much, sounds terrific. Tim is al... | |

| Preamp Tube Rolling And if your preamp is tube rectified, rolling your rectifier will also have an audible effect. I agree with Newbee that the first tube in the circuit will have the biggest effect on the sound, but my experience is that the rectifier will have a bi... | |
| Well-Tempered Golf Ball? Schipo,Given that you've owned WT products in the past, do you really believe the WT tonearms are easy to set up? I bought your Well Tempered Record Player, and found the WT arm incredibly tweaky compared to any fixed bearing arm.David | |

| Tone Arm Mass Rada,You've already done the first thing, which is add weight at the headshell. Second would be to either add damping fluid, or lower the paddle deeper into the fluid, or both. That doesn't do the same thing as raising effective mass, but it simul... | |
| MC for MusicHall MMF2.2 Jazzhowell,Ekobesky and Tketcham are both correct, as I also owned an MMF 2.1. The tonearm is the weak link, and doesn't warrant much more than the Goldring it came with. I liked it with the Shure M97, but when I upgraded to the V15Vxmr the arm ju... | |
| Best Phono Stage within 2000 $ While Jelco 10.5S and the Artisan Capriccio are similar, I believe the Artisan is a 9" tonearm rather than a 10.5" and is roughly the same as this:Jelco 9" tonearmDavid |
