| Reducing Background Noise On Records scm islandmandan and terry9 have it right. If you have a TT you`ll eventually/inevitably end up with an US cleanerI don't know if it's inevitable, but I agree that the best path to good LP sound includes an ultrasonic cleaner. No amount of Groov... | |
| Is elliptical the best stylus profile To correct my own post above ▲▲▲▲▲▲ it was not quite accurate to say there's no VTA when using a conical stylus, because VTA describes the cantilever more than the stylus. What I should have said is that because of the conical stylus shape, ther... | |
| Is elliptical the best stylus profile bimastaAligning the stylus has more to do with the record groove than the stylus. There is one position, and one angle, in the groove where the most information can be extracted, with the most accuracy, regardless of stylus shapeThat may be mo... | |
| HI-FI NEWBIE NEEDS HELP! willemj0cleeds, you are so tiresome in your deliberate misrepresentation of what I say.If you find my posts tiresome, don't read them. But when you make absurd claims - such as those with whom you disagree believe in magic - please expect to be c... | |
| HI-FI NEWBIE NEEDS HELP! willemj I am not saying that everything sounds the same. Actually, yes you have ... you've just placed a few conditions on your claim.I have argued that amplifiers may sound differently for a few identifiable and avoidable reasons commonly ign... | |
| HI-FI NEWBIE NEEDS HELP! willemj0... I hate to admit that there are moments that I want to stop, with all the abuse that gets thrown at me.Moderators here don't tolerate abuse in the forum. I think you're confusing debate or disagreement with abuse. | |

| Triggering mono blocks without trigger capability You could buy a something like a Niles AC3. That would work. | |
| Any of you experiment with optimal VTA for Benz Micro Cartridges tzh21yI have always liked the sound of the benz cartridges with a little negative VTAThere is no such thing as "negative VTA." VTA is typically in the range of 15 to 20 degrees. Please see this graphic for a clear depiction of VTA. | |
| Is my Amp OK? willemjIts the method that counts, and what makes science scienceIf you seek to pursue scientific method, you must also apply proper logic. Your repeated demand for data only proves your circular logic. | |
| Is my Amp OK? willemj... I am a scientist and I cannot accept uncontrolled sighted experiments ... why do people put more faith in their owned flawed experiences than in properly controlled experiments? If you are a scientist, you should be careful to apply pro... | |
| Is my Amp OK? willemj Good amplifiers have been sonically perfect for decades, and cannot be distinguished from each other in a double blind test.Julian Hirsch proclaimed that too, at Stereo Review back in the ’70s. He was so wrong then that he helped give birt... | |
