| Tecnics 1200G platter cleaning Dirty or oxidizing, there is a big difference. If it is oxidizing, chances are that it is not clear coated, therefore, you will need a metal polish. Try polishing the platter's underside as a test before moving on to the top surface. | |
| VPI prime scout VS Music Hall 9.3 VS Technics SL-1200GR VS Rega Planar 6 Don't buy the VPI until you have both heard and handled it. Unipivots are not for everyone. VPI tables can be purchased with a VPI Gimbal tonearm as an alternative to the Unipivot. | |
| BE VERY CAREFUL OF YOUR DEALINGS ON AUDIO-ASYLUM @autospec, I am glad that it looks like it will work out for you. Getting a tracking number is a good start. Please keep us informed. | |
| Gain setting for both pre-amp and Audio Research power amp w/ high output cart You want your phono + preamp to have enough voltage gain to be able to drive your amplifier to full power. Not enough front-end gain, you won’t be maximizing the power amplifier’s maximum output capability. This is often the case when someone pu... | |
| VPI prime scout VS Music Hall 9.3 VS Technics SL-1200GR VS Rega Planar 6 All excellent turntables with each having a loyal following. Unfortunately, there is no universally accepted correct answer to your questions, you will need to audition each table to determine which one suits your personal taste and bias. | |
| Gain setting for both pre-amp and Audio Research power amp w/ high output cart Sorry, I did not equate dials with trim pots in your post. Your MM cartridge has an output 6.8mv and your amp's input sensitivity is 0.6v. The DMC-10 provides 30db MM gain and 10db line level gain, for a total of 40db. Gain required to drive yo... | |

| best preamps A very general question will only yield a very general response. In addition, there is no "best", only a best for you. | |
| Cartridge alignment tool @chakster, $150-$200 would be a fair price for an in-home alignment by a knowledgeable and respected setup expert using the most sophisticated measuring tools like the Audiomagik and Acoustical Systems SMARTractor. I am big fan of the Feickert ... | |
| Cartridge alignment tool Depending on your location, there may be turntable setup experts that travel to one's home to set up tonearms/cartridges. If you don't swap out cartridges that often, it may be more economical to spend around $150-$200 for an expert with all the... | |
| Cartridge alignment tool Excellent protractors can be had for free and up to big $$$. If you have multiple tonearms/turntables and swap out cartridges regularly, then it make sense to invest in a universal protractor like the Feicket. If you have one tonearm and one car... | |
| Dual Subwoofers: close together? The benefit of multiple subs is the ability to equalize the bass energy in the room thus eliminating or smoothing out nulls and peaks. Experiment with placement is the key as no two rooms are the same. You can also invest in an inexpensive SPL me... | |
| Oracle Delphi mk3 is it worth it Great great table, great arm, fun combination. Steal of a price is subjective. | |
| I'm still mystified... If a seller's asking price includes Paypal fees, do you automatically discount the asking pricing by 3% if paying by a no fee method? As long as the seller's fee position is clearly noted in the ad, I don't see a problem. | |
| Aries 1 JWM 10 Tonearm replacement or upgrades? Yes, the original JMW 10 tonearm with the threaded counter weight can accept the new style tear drop counter weight without any modification. A simple, inexpensive and worthwhile upgrade would be to change out the conical pivot point assembly for... |
