Linear Tracker ...I was wondering
mijo, stop spreading bad information. As far as electronic driven LT having to "trip a limit switch" and being so far out of tangent as to not make them worth while, here are some facts. I'll use my Yamaha PX-3 as an example. There are no mechanic... 
VPI Turntable Motor Pop - Did I Damage My Analog System?
A really loud POP in your speakers could wipe out one of the tweeters. I would check them for proper operation. You said you lost some airiness, that comes from the tweets.BillWojo 
Phono stage for 0.2mv cartridge?
Why not use a SUT to bump up the output and than run that into a good MM phono stage. SUT will not introduce noise if properly built and grounded.I use a SUT for my Denon DL-103 and run that into a Audio Research SP-8 preamp. Very musical and no h... 
Need to adjust the speed every time I turn on turntable
Well, that link doesn't seem to work, just type in FNET and look for FNET Server Web Display. US Frequency Gradient Map on the top bar will show you the display in real time. BillWojo 
Need to adjust the speed every time I turn on turntable
Found an interesting site that shows the entire North American grid in real time and the deviations as they occur. The bar graph above the map goes from 59.940 to 60.060 Hz and is color coded to the map. It changes more rapidly that I thought it c... 
Anyone have this kind of problem with their amp?
My first thought after reading your post was a cold or cracked solder joint as was posted above. Billwojo 
What's the future for vinyl lovers?
People buy new records? I have a blast digging through all the piles in thrift stores. Sure, some turn out to be in bad shape but the vast majority are pretty decent to great. Yea, you need to go through piles of them to find the better ones but t... 
Help- audiophile husband just dies
A very good friend of mine who has done this kind of thing before stopped by Julies house today and made a list of all the gear. He will be researching prices for her and she can decide what she wants to do. I was just happy to be able to put thes... 
Help- audiophile husband just dies
Not a bad idea either. Like you said, I wouldn't want somebody taking advantage of this situation. First thing that needs to be done is to document everything in the collection, than it could be researched. BillWojo

What is the appeal of the Denon 103 cartridges?
What does either of those two cartridges have to do with this discussion?BillWojo 
What is the appeal of the Denon 103 cartridges?
Listening to my Denon DL-103S on a newly acquired JVC QL-A7 TT through a Denon AU-320 SUT and it sounds fantastic. Very musical is the best way to describe it. Lots of detail as well. The DL-103S is described by Denon as a special elliptical but s... 
12-1/2" arm. NewArtVinyl Black Bird. Yea or Nay?
Can't beat the quality of Micro Seiki anything, it's all beautifully made. They built a lot of the top end models for other Japanese company's as well. (complete turntables)BillWojo 
The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth
So your saying that a Denon DL-103, a very low compliant cart could run well with an arm like a super light weight Black Widow? I would think that Denon would wiggle that Black Widow furiously at lower frequency's and not much energy would come fr...
