| How to connect old tape deck to Pass XP-22 to listen/record tbac23, thanks for replying. Your method seems to imply that I can only hear the vinyl playing as i record on the tape deck, which is fine, but what about being able to just play a tape and hear it through my system? Does the tape loop allow for ... | |
| Stacking pass labs power units?? The folks at Pass said it was no problem to stack the power supply chassis together and then separately stack the two preamps. So I did this, but found that the two preamps stacked together produces more heat than I'm comfortable with. (not that t... | |
| Stacking pass labs power units?? True. I will try it, but wanted other thoughts and will see what pass says. | |
| Stacking pass labs power units?? Thanks for the replies and instruction. I'll do as builder3 suggested, and just call Pass on Monday to see what they say. Thanks again, everyone. | |
| Stacking pass labs power units?? ...But can you stack two power supplies? | |
| Help! Antiskate with only a weight...no dial, and she's skating away! Good thoughts. The armlift is working appropriately and when lowering onto the table while playing a record, it does not slide towards the spindle. It will do that a little bit at the beginning of the record, but as Stringreen has stated, many re... | |
| Help! Antiskate with only a weight...no dial, and she's skating away! Stringreen: Seven posts prior to your post at 10:59 on 4/15/2021, Dover asked me to do this experiment to see if the arm mount may be the source of the trouble in that perhaps it was mounted unlevel. See his post above. | |
| Help! Antiskate with only a weight...no dial, and she's skating away! I tried the experiment suggested by Dover, here is the link to the video. Please let me know what you all think.https://youtu.be/0TGdq787Z80 | |
| Help! Antiskate with only a weight...no dial, and she's skating away! millercarbon.Thanks. your post gives me a lot to consider and makes sense. Agreed that the VTA on this arm is a PITA, but at least it's available whereas Rega's are not. I'm trying not to obsess over this as each day passes, but the nag is there i... | |
| Help! Antiskate with only a weight...no dial, and she's skating away! Here are two videos of the issue: The first is with antiskate engaged which includes the additional weight (total of around 5.5g) added to the string. The second is without antiskate.https://youtu.be/cGG9-H_ZD6w https://youtu.be/uRm_xAZIdUM | |
| Help! Antiskate with only a weight...no dial, and she's skating away! stringreen:I'm sure it's not broken, bent etc. It's brand new and only has about 15 hours on it so far. I have inspected it under higher magnification and everything appears intact.lewm:but it is skating across the whole record--that is a blank re... | |
| Help! Antiskate with only a weight...no dial, and she's skating away! bkeske:Thanks. I will shoot them an email as you suggest. I watched Peter's video and read the explanation and that seemed logical to me as well, but unfortunately as you point out, there is no way to fine tune that with the "fishing pole" method-... | |

| Help! Antiskate with only a weight...no dial, and she's skating away! Thanks everyone for your replies. I address them below. Thanks!millercarbon:Thanks for the reply, info and encouragement. The antiskate weight is 3.485g (3.5g on their website). And yes I have noticed the kind of ski slope edge on some of the reco... | |
