Help Graham 2.2 Arm lift
Thank you all. The hex key was smaller than my smallest 1/16" and the hardware stores didn't have it alone or in sets. I actually had a couple hex keys much smaller in my kit.Now that I know what size I am looking for, I will be able to get one at... 
Has anyone used electronic pocket scales for VTF?
Chris Brady used an electronic jewelry scale with a layover bar to adjust VTF on my arm. The scale had 0.01g incremental gradations and was probably similar to that described above by Elizabeth. I was very impressed and bought a similar unit, alth... 
Teres 340, anyone heard / seen one in the flesh
Doug:And, yes the shootout was held at CB's at least in part because I wanted to hear the Teres TT options before I decided on buying a TT. I was fortunate that Chris was interested in doing a full experimental listening. The T-320 will be a clear... 
Teres 340, anyone heard / seen one in the flesh
Cello: I am impressed and I am also thinking about Koetsu, but only thinking at this stage.With regard to the shoot-out, I will give you my own impressions. The arm was the top Schroeder with a 901 cartridge all mounted on the 265 plinth. (Tube am... 
Graham and Shelter matching - and other arms/carts
I have a Graham 2.2 with a Shelter 901, and I have not experienced the tubey bass sound you describe. In fact the bass is very taut IMO. I do think the loading of the Shelter is critical and mine is loaded at 50ohms. (And, I did readjust the volum... 
Teres 340, anyone heard / seen one in the flesh
I own a Teres 340 with Graham 2.2 and Shelter 901. Simply fabulous is all that I can say. I have been listening critially since the first of the month and I am amazed by what I have been missing. The speed, resolution and simple clarity of everyth... 
Koetsu RSP compatibility

any experience with Cary phono pre amps?
I have a Cary SLP - 98P and a MANLEY Steelhead. The Cary is excellent, warm and rounded, with slightly more noise into my high efficiency horns. The standalone Manley is faster, quieter, and more delicate. Also, the Cary is limited to MM but Denni... 
Vinyl playback is still a secret
Today on Sunday Morning (CBS) the resurrection of the turntable was as an instrument and not for playback!! Beyond the argument of sound quality or convenience, the major problem with SACD/DVD for me has been the need ti start a new disc library o... 
LP Cataloging Software?
Is there a MAC version or a program similar to CD Trustee software? 
Grado Sonata and tracking
I have a Grado Reference in an SME 309 arm and the tracking and sound are excellent. 
Suspended Basis vs Nonsuspended Teres
In general, I agree with Aroc. In my thinking, I concluded the table must be of very high quality first to allow the full benefits of the cartridge to be appreciated. The cartridge selection then must be selected to match the arm-table combination... 
Suspended Basis vs Nonsuspended Teres
Hi Dougdeacon:Thanks for the input. You are absolutely right about listening to different systems. For instance, I have listened to an SME 20/ SMEV/transfiguration set up several times and enjoyed it every time. But, the speakers were large Dunlav... 
Suspended Basis vs Nonsuspended Teres
Thank you everyone. I had not given the suspended vs nonsuspended issue enough thought until recently. I will be making a decision soon and I will factor in all of the info provided. Thanks.Goyescas: I read the vinyl asylum regularly but I have ha...
