Has anyoe had problems using the mint LP tractor
Nice tool Emailist. As my presbyopia creeps with age such a tool will become valuable for this kind of work.Jimjoyce25, yes, the lines are smaller. This is why the MintLP is different from any other arc protractor. The finer the lines, the more pr... 
Upgrade for users of 1/2" mylar belt
Somewhere around 1/2" diameter bar stock, drilled for the motor spindle size, a couple of thousandths by ~5/8" landing. 
height to hand absorption foam panels
Don't move your speaker after you place the treatments at the reflection points unless you also move your listening position to get back to that same reflection point. So get the speakers placed first where you want them, IMO and IME. (BTW, I woul... 
Who's modded modified speaker's cross -over?
Wanna play around with what the crossover is doing electrically? Here is free circuit simulation software that runs on top of Pspice (if you care about that). Since it is a demo version it is limited to the number of components in the circuit. But... 
Would diffusion help in this space
Musicfile,I suggest you ask Bruce or Brian at GIK. I have always heard that diffusion needs a larger space to work, but I'm no expert.YOu can post a question here and expect a quick reply from someone at GIK or Ethan from RealTraps.Acoustics Circle 
Need help with room treatment acoustic treatment
Hi Manpr6,My compliments to you on addressing the importance of acoustically treating your listening room. It will pay off. What I have learned is that ALL rooms are in need of bass control so there is most likely a need in your room as well. That... 
Mounting hole-to-stylus variation / tolerance
Ok, bye. 
The old timers give the young'ns tips on the 60s.
Ok. All of you other old geezers have filled in the music. The best tip I can give from the 60's is:"Don't bogart that joint, my friend! Pass it over to me. You've been hangin' on to it, and I sure would like a hit!"Come to think of it, it has wor... 
Mounting hole-to-stylus variation / tolerance
Axelwahl,I can't do this with you anymore. Your threads always end up as some vague argument where you change the subject to promote some, as you see it, thought provoking concept. If you have always intended this thread to be about your SME I do ... 
Upgrade for users of 1/2" mylar belt
Yes, Doug. Thom has the pulleys made with a flat surface with a small lip top and bottom. Much like a tape guide from R2R.The easiest method I have found to locate the textured side is using a micro-fibre cloth. One side of the mylar will glide al... 
Mounting hole-to-stylus variation / tolerance
The distance from the center of the tonearm pivot, to the [bold]stylus tip[/bold] is the effective length of the tonearm. This is the critical distance and does include the dimensions you are concerned with only because the overhang is parallel to... 
How to order Wally Tools...
Maybe Elizabeth, Teresa, and Wally are all the same person. ROMY! :-) 
Mounting hole-to-stylus variation / tolerance
The only reason I say "if" is to keep my post in general terms. I do have a means to infinitely adjust p2s and I do have protractor that was custom made to the effective length of my tonearm. I can change to any cartridge I want and be assured of ... 
Fuse blown on RB-1080 with new pair of DynAudio's
The fuse is fine. Fix the short in your cable and you should be back in business. I have learned that in the DIY world, ALWAYS suspect what you did yourself first. 
Mounting hole-to-stylus variation / tolerance
If one has the means to adjust P2S infinitely, and has an arc-style protractor custom made for the arm in use, then the concept this thread was started on is moot, as well as any worries about effective length.
