| 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... | |

| Talk but not walk? michaelgreenaudio Hi cleedsIt's only theory until you do it, and then my friend it becomes science. But like the OP (me) is saying is, your choosing not to make your system play it. You actually don't know anything about my system, or how I've... | |
| Talk but not walk? Sorry, Michael Green, but "empirical" means based on observation rather than based on theory. I don't have to do anything - other than listen - to have empirical evidence. And that's what your post sought, based on your own words:" ... folks are ... | |
| Talk but not walk? michaelgreenaudio I see a lot on here where people will call a recording "bad" ... they say their system is revealing instead of saying their system can’t play that recording. It’s like they can’t take responsibility for their sound. Empirically s... | |
