| Precise pivot to spindle distance clabethank you for your comments on my system(s). i bought the rx1500 new in the box in the mid '80s. it's been taken to a new level with the 8C.my benz ebony does not seat perfectly parallel with the front of the headshell. i also have a benz H20... | |
| Precise pivot to spindle distance clabei also use the 8C and used a feikhert to set it up. i can get close to the 231.44, but not exactly using the feikhert, which reads in 1mm increments. i don't think that getting the pivot to spindle distance set to the second decimal place is ... | |
| Rickie Lee Jones "Pop Pop" i really enjoy this recording. i have no issues with it at all. it's quiet and clean throughout. i really enjoy her style and her interpretations of songs. another winner is "it's like this" lp or cd, both sound fantastic. | |
| MFSL cd's vs. Redbook cd's the mofi cd's are a hit and miss. some sound great, while others are flat and lifeless. as mentioned, some newer cd's do sound fantastic. it's great to hear that some musicians are putting time and effort (and $) into the production. in answer to ... | |

| Feickert Protractor - anyone use one? very easy to use. the nice thing about it is that it is not dedicated to one arm as the mint lp or walltractor tools are. | |
| Breuer Type 8 Tone Arm i just bought and installed an 8C. i have a 5C as well, which led me to get the 8C. i did not receive a bag of nuts and bolts with mine. it was quite simple to install. i did have to terminate the loose wires though. as far as the sound goes, it i... | |
| how to remove the platter of Micro Seiki DDX1500 the mechanical bond is made when the 2 machined surfaces seat together. it is designed and machined to be a perfect fit. all you need to do is gently sit the platter back in place. the parts will mate naturally. | |
| how to remove the platter of Micro Seiki DDX1500 i found that giving it a firm upward tug was the only way to break that mechanical bond, so go ahead and try. i cleaned the contact surfaces with a soft cloth and left them dry, no oil. the bearings should be oiled as per the mfg. | |
| Spacer between cartridge and headshell on Breuer i recently installed a breuer 8c on my micro seiki rx1500, i needed more height actually and installed a 1/2" spacer under the arm base to raise it up at the back end. however, in your case, there should be lots of space to lower the arm. did you ... |
