Hi Erik,Madisound and Parts Connexion will have CMR & CSA in stock soon. I can provide free samples to substantiated manufacturers. I run an occasional group buy for hobbyists and smaller OEMs who need custom values or can’t justify factory MO...

Hi Volleyguy1,Yes, I think some of what you think of as the "poly sound" is happening in the tin-zinc end spray.  Our OEM evaluators of the preproduction versions consistently felt that the copper ends reduce treble glare and smearing, producing a...

Erik,The new ClarityCap CMR CopperConnect range will benefit even less from bypassing than MR. CMR has the MR series-wound construction and resonance treatments, with the addition of a copper litz lattice embedded in the end cap.  This reduces imp... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
@audiolabyrinthSorry, but you won’t be the first in the world! I replaced the stock Shallco series attenuator with a differentially balanced LDR control in my AtmaSphere MP-1 phono preamp. It is a successful upgrade, though not quite viable for co... 
Redbook Keeps Surprising
lp2cd,"One mustn’t...retain...*copies* of copyrighted recordings."That is precisely where we differ. I see nothing in the law that restricts retaining a fair-use copy for personal use and then disposing of or reselling the original material object...

This clarifies the distinction between copyright and ownership of the material object in which it is embodied:"Copyright Law of the United States of Americaand Related Laws Contained in Title 17 of the United States CodeCircular 92§ 202 . Owne... 
Redbook Keeps Surprising
Hi Al, that seems logical.  However, with respect to infringement the law may be more concerned with quantifying real rather than theoretical damages to the copyrighter.  Clearly, there are greater damages associated with large scale selling or sh...

@lp2cd Please provide a more specific reference regarding the illegality of disposing-- for profit or otherwise-- of an original CD after making a digital copy for personal use.  The RIAA seems to be vague on this point.http://www.riaa.com/resourc... 
Does anyone run 2 or more turntables...
Lew, I haven't yet had the PD444 motor apart for service, knock on wood.  The literature describes the motor as flat, slotless, brushless, DC servo-controller with Hall sensors.  Like L07D it uses magnetic levitation, in this case to relieve about... 
Does anyone run 2 or more turntables...
A Luxman PD444 with three arms(2x SME 3012R + Kuzma 4P at the moment.) Unfortunately there is no space remaining to set up my three other turntables simultaneously. Multiple tonearms on one TT help in making close comparisons between tonearms and ... 
Best Pink Floyd recording CD or LP
Ditto The Endless River. I don’t have original pressings of the first four albums to compare, but all four of the new Warner/Sony Grundman LPs are worthy. 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
I've used brass for ease of machinability and stainless steel should be good as well.   
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Chakster, The only differences between those PD444 armboards is the top plate that covers the locking frame that clamps the armboard to the turntable rails.  It's a simple job for a machinist to make interchangeable top plates from 3/8" to 1/4" th... 
( Vinyl) Your latest purchase and where?
Dylan- Fallen AngelsClapton- I Still Do(and at 45RPM!)From Princeton Record Exchange.  When was the last time you could walk out of an indie record store with simultaneous releases from two sixties icons? Both worthwhile, BTW.
