Which part reduces surface noise most? My experience has been that stylus profile is the biggest factor regarding surface noise. That said, records have surface noise for lots of different reasons. If a record is dirty, it's noisy with any stylus. If a record has been played with a dam... | |

Cartridge alignment channel balance measurements? Doug,What method do you use to adjust azimuth in measurable and repeatable increments of less than 1 degree? I understand how VTA and VTF can be adjusted to that kind of resolution, but azimuth has me stumped. Please describe your SOP, and how it ... | |
FM static? Unsound,What antenna are you using? I have a Fanfare FM-2G-C, the 'C' designating College Band, which for them is 88-92mhz. It has special tuning to pick up the College Band better, and it truly does work. One thing I've found out since I moved he... | |
FM static? Unsound?Have you tried power conditioning? I recently switched from a cheap Monster power strip to an APC H-10, and I was very surprised at how much quieter my FM got. I'd always had varying amounts of noise depending on the station; I thought the... | |
My analog tuner drifts off the station Jrb25,Since your tuner is solid state and draws little power, I'd suggest you just keep it powered up 24/7. Eventually its temperature will stabilize, and I'm guessing you'll see little or no drift from that point on. I keep mine turned on all the... | |
When did you know that music was your passion? My story is rather similar to Rodman99999's:When I was 8 or 9 I had been begging my parents for an FM radio for my room (I only had AM) and my father found me a very nice Arvin AM/FM table radio, two way mono speaker, push button tuning, cool! I f... | |

any opionions on the zxy r50? I've owned the R50H Bloom for a year or so now, and keep coming back to it. I've used a Shure V15Vxmr, and Empire EDR.9, and a Denon 103R. They all have their strengths and weaknesses, but the Zyx gives great detail without harshness, plenty of ba... | |
New Upgrade Kit from Zu for the Druids Ton1313,Were these the Druids you bought in 2002? So you were upgrading from the original model? Just trying to get some idea of how big a leap you made. I have Mk4s, so I'm thinking the difference might not be as big.David | |
First Watt F4 Indeed, I find it interesting that the iterations of the First Watt series aren't meant to be improvements on the predecessor, but are completely different designs aimed at solving a different problem. The fact that he releases the schematics for ... | |
The Tubes Sushi Girl - Completion Backwards PrincipleBack in 1982 or 83 The Tubes and The Indianapolis Symphony (with the fabulous John Nelson conducting) were both at Valparaiso University on the same night. I really wanted to see The Tubes, but the woman ... | |
Rawson Resale...... Cdc,One keeps their eye on the classifieds here on Audiogon. He has an amp for sale right now, and had another this morning but it's gone already, meaning he sold it right away. I got lucky with mine as he posted it late at night and I saw it quic... | |

Dave Brubeck/Ramsey Lewis Jaybo,After looking it up, I see you're right! I had always thought In Crowd was penned by Lewis. That's what I love about Audiogon. I'm not finding much else on Billy Page though. What else did he write?David |
