Upgrade for users of 1/2" mylar belt
Hey Doug, I'm sure you and Paul did quite a bit of experimenting but how many belts did you get from a 3 or 4 oz bottle of etching cream? 
matching tt to music
This is exactly why I bought a Galibier. My Gavia makes all records sound really good. Even those less-than-spectacular records that were either not taken care of or just not well produced. Sounds like you and I listen to the same or very similar ... 
Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions
Yeah, I remember something like that as well coming out of NY. Somehow it took like 4 days to get from NY to NH. Must have been a Yankees Fan! ;) 
Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions
Stiltskin, that would be hilarious if it weren't so sad! It had to have been the liquid that caused some one to become overly zealous. Islandmandan,didn't Yip send you a tracking number? 
Lyra Titan i on Basis Vector 4 experience?
Sirspeedy,The amount of damping fluid in the Vector is very important. I leave the term "critical" for the 2.2 and to give an idea of how I think the difference between the two arms is in regard to this. The idea with the Vector is to add enough f... 
Lyra Titan i on Basis Vector 4 experience?
Well, I didn't want to turn Dre's thread into a debate about tonearms and I probably exaggerated a bit by saying that the cartridge would sound much better on the Triplanar. Look, these are both very good tonearms. That's why I own them. I've owne... 
lps sound bad
Screw it. Sell your collection to me for 10 cents on the dollar. Yeah, they'll sound just as crappy after I get them. Just keep telling yourself that. ;-) 
Tweaks such as demagnetizers ionizers for lp's
Yes, the concept is valid. No, you don't have to spend much at all, not even $200. The results do vary from lp to lp. Mag/demag can have a profound effect on tubes and cables, but don't try this while they are in the system. Remove them and do the... 
New LP Cleaning ?
Hi Autodexr,Doug Deacon showed me a Premier-like product that he uses for new lps. It takes just a quick shot and a quick wipe around with a lint free cloth. One of the microfiber cloths should do nicely. I don't remember what the stuff was so I j... 
shrill high end? help, setup? triplaner
What?!? It just suddenly un-adjusted itself? What has changed? Have you cleaned the stylus lately? 
Lyra Titan i on Basis Vector 4 experience?
You think (or heard) that the Triplanar (VII) is a better sounding Arm than a Vector?Nope, I own both arms. Just my opinion based on being mounted on my table in my system. 
whistling in the ears
I get this from time to time. Maybe a few times a year. It usually is in one ear or the other and only lasts for 10 or 15 seconds. Most likely for me it was caused when I used to spend a lot of time around race cars. One of the ways we could tell ... 
Upgrade for users of 1/2" mylar belt
Thanks for the update, Mothra. My etching cream is on the way so I'll get to try this soon. I think Doug and Paul could start a fashion trend there in CT. by wearing those HazMat suits around the house. 
Lyra Titan i on Basis Vector 4 experience?
I can't help with any experience with that combination. However, the Vector will handle that cartridge with no problem at all. The compliance and mass of the Titan i is very close to my Dyna XV-1s and I have used the Dyna on my Vector 3. They woul... 
Rush fans on the board ??
I saw them in Manch-vegas, NH.
