Hi Dave - going from memory from many years ago I think I can see 57.90's on the SDS display window for the thread setup I had on the TNT ?Why am I able to remember this but can't remember where I left the keys ?Mike from VPI at the time recommend... 
Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable?
mmporscheI am assuming from your OP that you are not someone getting back into vinyl after many years; and that you are new to it and have never had a vinyl setup ? If this is the case it is really important to determine if you will even enjoy the...

Hi Nikola. yeah, I agree with you.decentof an acceptable standard; satisfactory.I still do own some "decent" tonearms. But because of the ET2.0 and ET 2.5 they don't get used much.I also still have these three Turntables, even though I use only o...

Hi Davemy kids have been asking me for a lot of music lately, from all over the place. I don't mean different genres. I mean the cd's were all over the place, in my rooms. I have come to the realization that I am a terrible filer of music,but also...

Hi Dave that link shows quite the elaborate effort. It appears from the pic to be a string driven first platter, which is then connected to the main platter as a rim drive ? You can tell the tension of the string is pretty taut as mechanical bea...

Hi Golferboy"The worst record for this is Boxer, by the National"The band recorded Boxer with producer Peter Katis, with vocalist Matt Berninger stating, "We recorded a lot of it at home. Probably half and half of home recording and recording with... 
Vinyl and subwoofers
CleedsIt’s almost always a setup problem, not an inherent problem with LP playback. It’s best remedied by correcting the setup, rather than by introducing a filter.I agree with you but this has been my personal experience. Recording venue noise (s... 
Vinyl and subwoofers
golferboyJust read about the KAB rumble filter. I had no idea this problem of pumping woofers was so common. I am still shaking my head. Why didn’t the experts who designed the audiophile skyscraper put in a button for the rumble-filter floor in a...

Raul - from personal experience in my room when you have multiple bass drivers, one positioned high near the ceiling and one low - pointed at the listener. The effect of the output from the woofers is that the bass waves cancel each other out. T...

The subwoofer phenomena is an interesting one, but logical IMO, as far as progression goes in this Audio business. There are not too many people that have dedicated rooms, that can place full range speakers on the room loading points. So manufactu...

Eric et al - I don't know how Bruce makes such good quality parts for what he sells them for. Just glad he is there and his tonearm still a leader in design and execution. We do know he has his plane. I assume he has made some interesting contacts...

Hi Dave your ET2 set up looks textbook good :^) , with the obvious wiring, air tube connect mods over stock to improve on the original design, which tried to satisfy the tonearm being mounted on practically any turntable - other than a very lightl...
