Exactly where is the ''jitterclock '' located ?
I am not an electronics expert, so I'm sure others have a better explanation (if they'll take your question seriously) ;-) But I think you are confusing concepts here. Jitter is caused by clock timing anomolies. Look to this link at the Wadia site...

What's your favorite lyric from a song?
Since my favorite Dylan line has already been mentioned (twice), I'll default to a couple of different lines from the Dead:"Sometimes the lights all shinin' on me; other times I can barely see."and"Which of you to gain me tell, will risk uncertain... 
Glitch with Wadia 861
I think I fixed the problem (at least for now).I noticed when the drawer was closed, it was not completely flush with the face of the unit. The left side of the drawer was flush, but the right side slightly protruded, perhaps 1/16 of an inch beyon...

Thanks for all your input. I also sent an email to Steve at GNSC just before I posted my original message here, so I expect to hear back from him early this week.As far as the "slight noise", it is not very loud, and truthfully I just may not have... 
Which Counterpoint Preamp SA-5000 or SA- 5.1???

PS Audio P500 vs VPI SDS
I'm not all that familiar w/ the PS Audio product, but I do have the VPI SDS. The SDS allows extremely fine adjustments to the frequency fed to the TT motor, so that with a strobe, you can set your turntable to EXACTLY 33 1/3 RPMs. On my VPI Scout...

VPI JMW9 Tonearm setup questions
Let there be music! I decided to quit fiddling with trying to adjust the anti-skating by the Hi Fi News LP, and just took HW's word from the JMW9 Manual that when the tonearm swings toward the edge of the LP when in a neutral balance, that's plent... 
VPI JMW9 Tonearm setup questions
Okay. I am making progress here....got the tonearm and cartridge basically set up. I was running through the paces of the Hi Fi News Test LP, and ran into a brick wall when dealing with (you guessed it!) anti-skate. I realize this is a somewhat "c... 
VPI JMW9 Tonearm setup questions
ANOTHER remedial question: The manual also indicated that tonearm height (VTA) can be adjusted with the "knurled knob" beneath the pivot. However, when I turn the know, it does not appear to do anything except move the knob itself up and down the ...

Thanks all for the responses. I just wanted to make sure that this is the way the tonearm is supposed to sit before starting in on the cartridge adjustments.Coffee_nudge 
Anyone else own Flatline 175 ribbon speakers?
Do you still own these speakers? I just came across a used pair for sale in a hole in the wall audio store. I did not have a lot of time to audition them, but they were hooked up to a REGA 25 turntable, Carey amp, and sounded pretty nice. Would be...
