| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning profI have a pal who always takes the cheaper way out, always looking for a bargain, buying second hand etc. We have different approaches - he is always willing to spend time and effort to save a buck; I am always willing to spend some bucks to s... | |
| Audio Research REF 3 and REF 5 Tweaks lostbearsARC use to recommend no cover. before they introduced the Plexi covers. Hmmmm, I'm not sure that's true. It's certainly not mentioned in any of the ARC owner's manuals that I've seen. It would also pose a potential shock hazard so it's a... | |
| Is Velodyne gone? kosst_amojanThis is where Elon Musk is an asshat. He genuinely cannot think ... I honestly can't stand that fool. I knew he was and idiot ... All his windbag jive ... a complete idiot ... he knows nothing about much of anything. He doesn't u... | |
| Can you ever get perfect alignment? avanti1960mthe reason I say we can’t get it perfect is because every form of alignment has only (2) points on the side of an album where the stylus is perfectly tangential to the grooves ...If you can achieve tangency at those two null points... | |
| Is it possible to mount cartridge without using a protractor? chaksterI don't like mirrors when it comes to protractors, i remember Van Den Hul protractor with mirror and it was a nighmare, because all the printed lines are reflected in the mirror and it was impossible to detect where is the actual prin... | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( johnread57How can we determine a fair price?A fair price is what a willing buyer will pay to a willing seller. | |
| Yanni or Laurel? papagiorgioI think that there is a system reproduction difference. I listened to it a half dozen through the stock speakers on my flat screen TV, and it is VERY clearly Yanni. However, if I play the exact same clip through my home theater s... | |
| BaerWald vs VPI setup protractors jls001Do you mean the OH must be measured only at a specific point?Typically, you measure overhang at two points. But how can you be sure you've achieved tangency at either or both of those points? How can you be sure the phono cartridge isn't t... | |
| Art Dudley Calls B.S. but without naming names - PLEASE DO! ejr1953... what determines the "value" of an item in our marketplace? I'd say it's what people are willing to pay for it.Agreed. Value, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. | |
| BaerWald vs VPI setup protractors jls001And regarding mirrored surface for aligning the cantilever, use any small mirror.That won't work. You'll need a mirrored gauge that includes an etched line that's used - along with the reflection of the cantilever - to achieve proper orien... | |
| BaerWald vs VPI setup protractors melmWhen you wrote, "This is why Mint protractors are made one by one for each tonearm." it seemed you were ascribing greater precision to them, which would be incorrect. IMO the arc protractor, which was introduced originally by Wally Malewicz, ... | |
| Yanni or Laurel? tls49Yes, our ability to hear correctly can be misleading at times.That’s not the issue here at all with the Laurel vs. Yanni question. In this instance, different people listening to the same thing hear consistently different results. Some hear "... | |
| Furman solves ground loop issue? engineears ... a different system with a headphone amplifier connected to a DAC with a pair of XLR cables in a balanced differential setup was getting horrendous ground hum ... I snapped both ground pins off the (removable) power cables. Hum gon... | |
| BaerWald vs VPI setup protractors fselletIf you print an arc protractor on photo paper, it will give you the same precision as the Mint, minus the mirror for azimuth.This is mistaken, and shows you don't really understand the basics of phono cartridge setup.The value of the mirro... | |
| Furman solves ground loop issue? Many things can cause hum in an audio system - it's not always a ground loop. What do you mean when you say the problem is only with analog? Do you mean only the phono stage, or any analog input?It would be helpful if you tell us more about the eq... |
