| Tonearm recommendation I am surprised. I did think about a tonearm part problem when I read your original findings, but I guess I assumed due to its cost/low production, that a part as critical as this would be addressed. But then I believe that I also read this week, s... | |

| Is New Vinyl Exempt from Loudness Wars? @Atmasphere Thanks for the information about using a Technics SL1200 and Grado Gold cartridge when doing a listen on a test cut, on the 14 " disc. The angle that the cutterhead stylus is placed at when a record is cut results in an included angle ... | |
