| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long We have two ideals here, maybe three. As far as tracking goes, the arm should have low enough a moment of inertia to follow the cantilever wherever it wants to go. The stiffer the suspension, the more the arm will follow. If the arm is sufficiantl... | |
| Broke Stylus on Denon DL103 - any remedy? I feel your pain. I did EXACTLY the same thing with my vpi jr @ blue point special whem I first got it. I just got enough for that tasty taste, then I had to wait. Damn, man. | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Zaikesman, the damping I was refering to is fluid damping and besides sound its effect on the cartridge is this; when the arm is put into motion, lets say to the left, the weight of the arm resist the motion, and then goes into motion to the left,... | |
| Review: Allsop Orbitrac Tweak Nothing wrong with that. Cleaning comes down to how good a job you do, all the fancy equipment just makes it easier, and easier to screw up. I once spent a good couple of hours cleaning a bunch of records, and I had to go back and redo every one b... | |

| The Best Amplifier Ever ? deletions; 1961 reverberocket, due to availability (tubes), 1964 super reverb, replaced by new model (not yet reviewed), 1964 twin reverb, now too expensive for sound quality offered. | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long I just had a scary thought-might want to put some of that tweaky brain-power to it, or at least calm my fears if you already know; What of the possibility of premature cantilever wear or damage? I understand that underdamped arms or the wrong arms... | |
| The Best Amplifier Ever ? Stereophile seems a little different in it's recommended components column from what it used to be. It used to be that class 'a' was "the best sound quality attainable", at least in one area or another. And class 'b' was considered highly capable.... | |
| The Best Amplifier Ever ? Ed_Sawyer, I was wondering what happened to the a.c. in my caddy, care to explain yourself? | |
| A tubes vs. Solid State question. Judit; I just threaded into the quicksilver ls review-It explains my current pre situation. Besides budget pre's, I haven't really checked out pre's too much. I have never really been a fan of pre's because to me it always seemed like a lot of mon... | |
| Review: Quicksilver Line Tube preamp Telefunken smooth plate- very nice inner detail, and smooth, open. The sovtek 12ax7lps are surprisingly good, sounding very much like the esteemed tele's, maybe better, but, one of mine suffered from infant mortality and they wasn't broken in yet.... | |
| A tubes vs. Solid State question. I don't know. Have you tried smashing up your stuff to see what it would sound like? Just kidding, man. I am definitely with you. I like the way solid state sounds very much. There are some who say that it shouldn't sound like anything, but obvio... | |
| VPI aries scout, Nottingham innerspace... How much is the vpi with a mount for the rb-300? That seems like a question you might want to ask. Also, how much are the upgrade cost on the vpi and how much would it take to overtake the nottingham, if it is better? (I don't know, I'm just playi... | |
| Should I pay 500 to mod my old Mac MR-67 tuner? Don't forget to ask the guy doing the mod what he thinks. He should have more insight to his mod than anyone. | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long After reading this, I was compelled to put my table on the work bench and study my rb-300. I noticed that the nuts on the end of the vertical bearings do not move with the arm. This supports your extrordinary theory. There would be no movement in ... |
