| 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 | |
| Why Not Bring Back Analog, Reel to Reel Tape Well, Jaybo, over the holidays my wife and I stayed at the downtown Marriot in Minneapolis and they had elevator operators (not sure why!). Plus, here in Oregon, self serve gas is illegal, so all stations are still full serve.Where do I go for the... | |
| Vinyl Tracking Problem I've owned an MMF 2.1 with the Goldring Electra (same as Tracker) and have some experience with the Denon DP37F in a friend's system and the BluePoint in a different system, and I have to say the MMF/Tracker is a sidegrade at best, maybe a downgra... | |
| Burn in question and evaluation before burn in Shadorne,I'm not an engineer, but your suggestions about burn-in resistant designs certainly sound plausible. Are your Anthem and Bryston designed around those principles? If not, are you searching for amplification that is? What have you found th... | |
| Burn in question and evaluation before burn in Onhwy61,That's a totally valid point, but it cuts both ways. If it's impossible for us burn-in believers to ascertain differences from 0 hours to 400, then it's also impossible for burn-in denyers (or those with a preference for equipment that doe... | |
| Burn in question and evaluation before burn in Shadorne,I'm glad we agree. :-) I think the question then becomes, is it even possible to build an amp that is unaffected by component burn-in? My experience, and not just with the Almarro, leads me to believe that it's difficult, maybe impossible... | |
| Burn in question and evaluation before burn in For those of you wondering about the effects of both better caps AND burn-in, I propose a simple and low cost test:1) Buy an inexpensive but decent quality tube amp in its stock configuration. My example will be the Almarro A205A. Low power but ve... | |
| Klaus Schulze and Lisa Gerrard - Busted! I bought the Farscape CD from Rubinken, although since I paid cash for it it wasn't truly barter.:-)I love this CD. It's very similar to LG's other solo and collaboration efforts, none of which are much like DCD. If you're only familiar wi... |
