| How do you level your turntable? As others have posted, I also like to use a 9" torpedo level. I like to think I'm getting a better idea of the general level-ness of the platter. My Galibier doesn't have this issue but I've had tables in the past where the platters are not flat. ... | |
| Technics SL1200: Baerwald or 1200 white gauge? Humorous read, but I won't bang my head against this wall. I agree with Tvad. It really isn't an issue of anyone having to have the MintLP to enjoy their vinyl. That is certainly true and maybe $100 is a lot of money these days. However, this pric... | |
| Technics SL1200: Baerwald or 1200 white gauge? if you want to spend $110 of piece of etched mirror - go for itWRONG! You know nothing about the MintLP protractor. It is not etched glass. The protractor is printed on a plastic sheet that is attached to a glass surface. By doing so the lines are... | |
| Good Analog EQ Well, I never got the 10t's to sound as good in my listening room as they do upstairs in the theater system either. So I moved on for my 2 channel system. As for the woofers. I don't care what anyone tells you, IMO, 4 seven inch woofers do not do ... | |
| Phono Stage Burn-in The answer is yes, but you still need the RIAA curve to play through a phono stage. Thus, Hagerman's product. If you don't want to spend any money, and it certainly isn't needed here, just spin records while you learn about how the sound changes d... | |
| Good Analog EQ Ok, so we're talking Aerial 9's. Close, but not quite up to my 10t's. ;-) Ixnay the L-paday. You don't want to mess up what Kelly has done at all. I can guarantee you that those dips you mentioned are room interactions, not the speakers.It is all ... | |
| Good Analog EQ Are you handy at all? With what you describe maybe you could get by with a simple L-pad on the woofers to attenuate the LF until you have a more permanent solution. | |
| Back to basics 90% is dirt, the rest fall into the categories of mishandling or defects. Very few LPs just simply wear out with play, unless played with cheap and/or poorly aligned stylus. | |
| Record cleaning concentrates Do a search. This topic comes up on every analog forum known to man at least once a week. ;-) | |
| Tonearm Wire Ya' know. I like this kind of stuff but it would really help if you would fill in some of the missing information. Like what cartridge, what tonearm, what table, what is the rest of the system?16 awg! For tonearm wire?!? Please fill in some inform... | |
| Help all ye Triplanar Gurus Stainless Steel is really not that strong either, but that is beside the point. | |
| do record mats work Let me guess. You are using a Grado cartridge?Anyway, what you describe is probably caused by the cartridge picking up EMI from the table's motor. NO platter mat is going to help with that. | |
| Help all ye Triplanar Gurus Mark, you are making several assumptions. This thread is not supposed to be locked. It is expected that this adjustment be made for each setup. I would bet that the OP went a bit overboard when snugging this screw back up.You all should see the ti... | |
| Help all ye Triplanar Gurus Absolutely a no brainer. Send it to Tri. Maybe someday I'll send mine to him to replace the stock arm rest. Or, maybe not. ;-) | |
| Oil for TT bearing - any advise? Just use some 30 wt. Mobile One. Detergent is fine. A quart should last you for years. |
