| Need suggestions please! Electrical noise in my system and it's driving me crazy! hifiman5The solution was opening up the breaker box and tightening down ALL of the ground wires for each circuit. Some of the ground wire screws had barely been tightened at all. You MUST be careful doing this and you should turn off the main... | |
| Help... my turntable is alive! moonglumThe OP does not need to buy a new belt. The solution is simply to wash it in warm soapy water then rinse & dry and it will be good as newYou may be correct, moonglum, but you can't know that for sure unless you've actually examined... | |
| Help... my turntable is alive! moonglumI’ve just been told my earlier post was deleted by a Moderator.Perhaps because you engaged in insult rather than discussing the topic. I fail to understand the problem you (Cleeds) have with the words “negative & positive” in relatio... | |
| Help... my turntable is alive! moonglumI must be honest. When you first questioned the usage I thought you might be “winding me up”. Based on your last 2(4?) posts I now recognise that your confusion is genuine.I'm not confused at all. There's simply no such thing as "negativ... | |
| Help... my turntable is alive! One of the reasons it's important to understand that there's no such thing as "negative VTA" is that, had the OP initially properly set his VTA, he wouldn't have had his phono cartridge bottom out in the first place. VTA can be set pretty reliably... | |
| Help... my turntable is alive! moonglumSince you haven't offered an alternative convention ...Because there's no such thing a negative VTA, you could say "lower the pickup arm" or "reduce VTA." Either of those would accurately state what you were thinking. | |
| Help... my turntable is alive! moonglum... I think you are are confusing angular quantification of VTA with *someone's* attempt to indicate the direction of a VTA adjuster ... Sorry, but I'm not confused at all. There's a singular accepted definition for VTA, and a "nega... | |
| Best universal disc player that has great audio reproduction? The McIntosh MVP-881 is really, really good. You can find them used for around your price. | |
| Help... my turntable is alive! moonglum... if one considers that the pivot is the primary means of adjusting VTA and that the movement is constrained to the vertical axis, if one assumes that "horizontal"/"neutral" VTA is effectively "zero" on that axis then ...But that's m... | |
| Help... my turntable is alive! moonglum Positive, Neutral, Negative VTA are popular expressions which have been around for a while ... You can call it "physically impossible" if you wish There's simply no such thing as "negative VTA." You can call it possible, but that do... | |
| New cartridge and/or tonearm for a Delphi Mk1 Your best choice of cartridge depends on both the pickup arm and your phono preamp. The SME arms do work very well on the Oracles. | |
| Help... my turntable is alive! moonglum... something could be mechanically "bottoming out" if it is periodic e.g cartridge rear end hitting a warp or negative VTA ...Certainly a pickup arm can be adjusted so that it and the VTA are too low, but there's no such thing as a "neg... | |
| Refurbish vs New Amplifier? AR refused to service my 100.2 last year because they didn't have all the parts for the amplifier. Sorry, but I find this very, very difficult to believe. | |
| Refurbish vs New Amplifier? gs5556Older amplifiers are almost always not serviced by the factory because ...That depends very much on the manufacturer. Audio Research, Threshold, Bryston, McIntosh and many others service their older equipment. I'd be surprised if Krell didn... | |
