| Great Experience with Feickert Protractor dangcaonguyenAs my understanding, if two tables have the same spindle size one can use the same Mint tractor for the same tonearm. Please correct me if I'm wrong.Within a certain fine tolerance, pretty much all pickup arms use the same spindl... | |
| Great Experience with Feickert Protractor dangcaonguyeni don’t understand your statement regarding Feickert aligning cartridge. As a user, my understanding is it aligns stylus and cantilever like the Mint you mentioned. I am having both.Feickert: aligns the cartridge.Mint/WallTracktor: u... | |
| Great Experience with Feickert Protractor The Feikert looks like a good tool - an update of the original Denneson Soundtractor. Its limitation is that it aligns the cartridge. A much better solution is a tool that aligns the actual cantilever and stylus, such as the Mint and Wa... | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening co93 One thing I mention that is rarely brought up is cartridges where they stylus extends past the body of the cartridge versus those there the stylus hangs below it . The former are more exposed to damage. How can a cartridge trace a groo... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... jinjukuThe point behind the offer, and it's an honest offer, is to simply show that people don't have as much faith in their ears as they think they do or would like others to believe. Your offer was no offer at all, which is why the moderat... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... jinjuku0 It’s not a double blind test.As I noted here pages and pages back, that’s exactly why the results of your test would not really be valid. I don’t think there’s much value for most audiophiles to conduct proper blind testing. But a test t... | |
| Is the PS Audio PerfectWave P10 Power Plant worth it? arhIf you are going to regenerate you should get one that can handle your whole system That's obviously not possible with a large system, where each amplifier may require its own 20A line. Also, many users find it's best to keep digital gear on a... | |

| To Float or not to Float... georgehifiIf you were to have a grounded mains plug at the source and the poweramp you have created an earth loop with the ground wire between the power points as the interconnect carry the earth as well.It is clear that you are confused about ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts lpretiringOne of the things that fascinates me about this hobby is how ubiquitous it isHuh? You find high-end audio ubiquitous? Where do you live? In my part of the world, it's very much esoteric. | |
| Why does FM radio sound so good? lowrider57Carts were clunky, but the later generation of tape decks used to rec/playback were first-rate. When making a promo or any recording, you would hit a button and a cue tone would be recorded into the tape.Yup! The best cart machines h... | |
| Turntables Neither of these is "best."As to which is better than the other: These models are so old that the answer to that probably relies on the actual condition of each one. | |
| Tuner or Receiver yogiboy The only problem is good outdoor FM directional antennas are not made anymore! It is very difficult to find good outdoor FM antennas and @jl35 is correct that many TV antennas have traps for FM. They are sometimes removable, but I ... | |
| Tuner or Receiver erik_squiresIn my mind, the FM tuner has by and large been replaced by Internet radio. While we can argue sound quality, issues of reception are more or less fixed given a stable Internet connection. Given good reception conditions (a reasona... | |
