| Time to choose: Baerwald, Lofgren, Stevenson ? downunderTangetial tracking is what most audiophiles should be aspiring to right?Not necessarily. Tangential trackers introduce their own set of problems including higher friction and noisy fiddly air pumps, depending on the arm, of course. Other... | |

| Time to choose: Baerwald, Lofgren, Stevenson ? sampsa55If the cartridge is aligned as designed by manufacturer, then the cartridge is straight in the headshell. Oh no, that's not at all necessarily the case. As others have pointed out, there's often a slight misalignment of the cantilever wi... | |
| Acceptable Level Ground/Earth Noise I have a dedicated earth for my audio system ... The line runs straight to my dedicated audio room and is shared among the various audio components. I am running a Clearaudio DC preformence through an Avid Phallus phone stage...If this ground i... | |
| Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers. stewart0722Planars whether it be magnetic or electrostatic sound their best when fed prodigious solid state juice.....That really depends on the specific speakers. You're certainly mistaken if we're talking about Infinity Betas, for example. | |
| Vinyl and subwoofers golferboy BTW, the query "pumping woofer vinyl" resulted in over 100,000 results on Google.That is not at all surprising! There are more cheap turntables in the world than good ones. I'd wager more turntables suffer from improper setup than thos... | |
| Vinyl and subwoofers golferboy Why is having the sub only 4 ft away from table a problem with concrete?The concrete has nothing to do with it. The close proximity between subwoofer and turntable suggests you may have some acoustic feedback between the two. That is... | |

| Vinyl and subwoofers golferboy I fine-tuned the Clearaudio table and cartridge setup with their vinyl for that purpose. If bad setup were the cause, that would mean I've had many cartridges on two tables over 10 years out of whack. Doesn't seem plausible...but w... | |
| Dylan wins Nobel Prize in Literature simaoThat's a logical fallacy. My saying that Dylan is less deserving than other authors is not the same as my saying my judgment is superior to the Nobel committee's ...On another level, as a literature professor, I feel safe in saying that t... | |
| Esoteric and Yaqin tak1 ... we have a tube CD player and a tube pre-amp or even tube amplifier, how do we know how much of the source tubes are influencing the final signal? Would not the pre or power amps masked the sound of the source? No, not if the tube prea... | |
| Vinyl and subwoofers golferboy Just read about the KAB rumble filter. I had no idea this problem of pumping woofers was so common. It's almost always a setup problem, not an inherent problem with LP playback. It's best remedied by correcting the setup, rather than by... | |
