A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Dear Geoch - regarding your comment on the armboard. This thread has really nothing to do with our knowledge on this or that - the thread is about people in this hobby trying something and letting their ears decide if it sounds good to them. To th...

ArmPod Instructions - 1,2,3This is for those that have been reading this thread, are interested in trying this out, but may need some help with it. I have put together a short document to help with it. You are welcome to it - just send me an email... 
Woofer sucking in and out
Its an isolation problem as other have mentioned - keep experimenting to find the location that causes the least disturbance. Understanding how the sound waves radiate from your speakers based on how you set them up will help alot here. Keep it aw...

My apologies Banquo. Actually I sort of understand how you feel as I travel between two properties weekly these days and only have vinyl set up at one. My TNT is too cumbersome to move there. Considering the material needed for an armpod can be pi...

Good info Lewn - I dont have a 9" arm. A dis-advantage of the ET arm is it sits too close to the platter and does not allow for a ring - if u wanted to experiment.

Dear Lewn you wrote. “BUT, what tonearms are you guys using? Given the rather large square "skirt" that surrounds the platter of the SP10 and the space needed for an outboard arm pod, it would seem to me that this can only be done with tonearms th...

Very nice review Dgob – kinda makes use wish you had your sp10 back Banquo ? I have been using the AT-616’s for a couple of weeks. I was able to make my ET 2.5 arm fit by raising it to its highest point and using higher spikes. http://www.canucka... 
B&W Variable High Pass Alignment Filter Setting.
Older thread but I just picked up a filter for my 801 matrix S3 - it improved things substantially. I did not use the preamp tape loop for connection but put in between the amp and preamp. Greater solidity, more definition in the lows. Much nore e... 
Music Reference Tube Amp Question
Thx Rpfef - Call and email went out earlier to him - thought I would ask here. It has been modified with WBT binding posts at the 0 and 4 ohms settings. The 2 and 8 post settings are original. The one post will need to reinforced - I probably loos... 
B&W 801 Matrix or JBL L150
Matrix S2 have protection to keep from over blowing hence their higher power rating but muddier sound compared to s3. Look for S3 which have no protection, cleaner path /better sound and assume responsible individuals. Krell - which version did yo... 
Ground loop b/w amp and phono stage
Read through the posts - not sure this test was tried. Turn everything on system as if ready to play lps. (amp/preamp/phono stage if any /TT). Put system on mute. Put volume/gain knob at lowest point. With the platter NOT TURNING lower the needle ... 
Rega apollo v NAD 565 BEE comparsion Others?
"I heard Saturn for $1600 & Nad 565bee for around $600 in my system."Unless you have a highly resolving system look at the Apollo - the Saturn needs the gear to get that other 25% from it. But when it has it .... it competes with $5000 cd play... 
A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Dear Dgob - congratulations - isn't it a grand feeling getting closer to the music and the family at the same time. Is the feeling a little more special this time around because this upgrade cost practically nothing ? Dear T-Bone you said - b) ta...

@Chris: how did you put spikes beneath your sp10? I'm assuming there's a board in between? That is, the TT sits on the board and the board is on spikes? Or did you thread spikes directly beneath the chassis?Hi Banquo - Each of the mapleshade foote...
