Tri-Planar with no anti-skate?
I measure a lot also, but more from my crossovers and horns. I've about finished on that end so maybe I'll join you at some point measuring the source end. :-) 
Tri-Planar with no anti-skate?
Thanks, Glai. I misread the USB oscilloscope. However, I am not sure I agree with everything you've stated because what we hear without the AS mechanism is an increase in detail, not less as would be the case if there was indeed some distortion ta... 
iPod & Bose Dock hospital
Congrats on the birth of your son! First? Second? I'm with Tpreaves. Let's all prey you didn't do permanent damage to his audiophool genes with that ipod/bose setup. Goodness, man! Couldn't you have schlepped your real system into the hospital and... 
Tri-Planar with no anti-skate?
Lewm, those of us who are removing our AS do not experience any distortion from one channel vs. the other. HOwever, I believe this will be cartridge dependent. It probably has to do with centering of the coils. This discussion is regarding the Tri... 
Tri-Planar with no anti-skate?
I'm not sure I understand. Did you mean to say that your friend visually observed total harmonic distortion? 
Resonant Frequency Tracking Problems please help
Systembuilder, :-) , it is your turntable bearing. There is no reason on this earth to try to reproduce much below 25Hz with vinyl. Your sub is built to work down to 15Hz. Seems a little overkill to me, but it might work. I doubt I have ever had a... 
Tri-Planar with no anti-skate?
Ha! Speak of the devil. :-) Ok, so at least the three of us agree on the Triplanar with no AS. 
Tri-Planar with no anti-skate?
Hi jfrech. Could be related to what cartridge is being used. I know someone else who prefers AS with a Skala. I still prefer mine without AS and I'm using Dynavectors. On the Talea, all carts sound much better with that tiny bit of AS one or two o... 
Kuzma 4Point vs Airline - is it worth the upgrade?
Thuchan, those were my thoughts. Cartridge matching would be very important. I see the FR-7f is 30grams and low compliance. Yeah, heavy cart would be my guess also. However, I might tend toward more compliance. Stone body Koetsu comes to mind. 
Kuzma 4Point vs Airline - is it worth the upgrade?
What kind of music do you listen to most? Be careful exciting an Airline too much. There is no place for vibrations to go but back into the cantilever if it gets over stimulated. Most definitely try before you buy. 
Juicy music tercel? Anybody heard it?
Turn off your caps lock, please. 
What does it take to have a revealing system?
A good deal of it is resonance control. Everywhere. Some is mechanical and some is electrical. If you ever experience ringing from a transformer or other such device you'll understand that removing those echos reveals more of what is or isn't in t... 
Vinyl vs. top-notch digital
Jdaniel13, I understood what you meant. This does come up from time to time. I would agree with Audiofeil that the arm was probably the source of the issue. FWIW, I've been using a 20x2H for the last few weeks and before that a 10x5. It is definit... 
My love of music is killing me.
Dean, we lost our youngest son, Michael, 9 years ago. I know what I went through and can understand your pain and anger. It took me about 6 years to realize there was no one I could hurt, kill, maim, or even point a finger at and make it better. C... 
Vinyl vs. top-notch digital
Mike, I know you'll appreciate this. I heard a pivoted Talea laugh out loud at a Kuzma Airline. The Kuzma does have something special when playing girl with acoustic guitar. But as soon as you add the second girl with guitar the Kuzma didn't know ...
