TT speed
dover Assuming the record is travelling at constant speed, then the motion of the stylus forward and back relative to the line must alter the apparent speed, as seen from the record groove, albeit minuscule. You are really confused. Yo...

mijostyn Theoretically pitch is affected but the effect is so slight that it may well be unmeasurable.  We've already shown that measurements reveal it doesn't exist. It's easy to measure a 1 kHz tone on a test record. ... the tu...

holmz ... the error would need to be less than the W&F “noise”, and my stab at the error would be about 0.11 Hz at 1 lHz. You're arguing that tangency affects pitch? If so, that violates the Fourier Transform. That's not possible and...

dover ... on a pivoted arm the stylus is advancing and retarding relative to tangent, therefore there must be a timing error ... Your belief is easily disproved with a test record - it’s easy to measure the frequency of a test tone on...

mijostyn The translocation of the stylus is so slow that it’s effect on pitch is insignificant. Assuming a perfect record (absolutely flat, hole exactly in the center), the "translocation of the stylus" will have zero affect on pitch. Z... 
Amir and Blind Testing
mijostyn   The problem for many people is they trust their own perception. It's a problem for you, apparently. The result of all this is an entire industry based on deception. That's amazing! An entire industry built on fraud! Yet -...

djones51 Everyone has their opinion and that's all it is including mine. The only way to get beyond opinions is with vigorous testing including our ears. Yes, you've frequently issued these proclamations about your "One Way" of tes... 
Russian tube supply issues
georgesallit325     Russia may sell to China and they on to the West, at a price. Mexico is retaining Russia as a trading partner, so tubes could be shipped to there and then beyond ...

laoman For someone to say you do not need to listen to a piece of equipment before buying it and also that the synergy of various components makes no difference is so funny. Egg-zactly. But some people will buy a car without driving i... 
Where did he go?
billwojo     Just heard back from Chakster, he is well, but suffering because of the events. All commerce in or out for him is halted, no way to transfer money anymore. Thanks for the update, @billwojo. It's good to know he's ok ... 
An electrical engineer on how power cables can impact sound quality
lanx0003 what is lacking here is the actual testing / comparison before and after the luxuary power cable is used? Does the power get cleaner? I don’t think it is hard to do, right? Please feel free! If you like, you can share your r... 
Who actually heard the Infinity IRS?
bdp24   ... The Servo-Static 1 and 2 does not contain ribbons, but rather are electrostatics with a dynamic woofer ... I stand corrected, thanks @bdp24. It must have been the QRS that used the Strathearn ribbon drivers.  
Premium distilled water for ultrasonic record cleaner
I just checked my Klaudio manual and it also states distilled water only.  
Audio research reference 10 tube replacement
At 12 hours a day, the 6550 tubes in the power supply will need to be replaced at around 5 months. (2,000 hours.) The remaining tubes (6H30) will last about twice as long.  
any thoughts?
sns I can't see purchasing older and/or well used cd transport. Even if one believed it may provide higher quality sound than today's transports I wouldn't do it. Same here. Eventually the lasers fail and replacements are often uno...
