| Why not horns? Macrojack & Kiddman, I'm with you regarding HP. I'm surprised after all these years of bullshit there are still so many that haven't caught on to his lies. Of course certain manufacturers benefited while others paid the price of his crap. His ... | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine Peterayer, At one point I had 3 KAB strobes that I was using and I use and saw some slight variations of frequency setting with each one. I use an industrial grade voltage/frequency converter to control the speed and since I had AC strobes, I didn... | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine Lewm,"a tad slow on 45. We checked his judgement using the KAB strobe, with and without the stylus drag. The KAB showed without doubt that the Lenco was in fact running a tad FAST, not slow, at 45"The problem is with the KAB strobe and not your fr... | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine Peterayer, I had several KAB strobe units in the past and noticed sample to to sample variations and locking at a different speed from my AC strobes, so I sopped using them. Only recently we got the battery operated Ortofon units in and again we f... | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine Lewm, I'm not sure if the MS motor is actually auto correcting anything, but you're right about the belt affecting the sound. Set the tension even slightly too loose and it will lose control over the platter. This isn't much of a problem if you us... | |

| Correct alignment for Fidelity Research 64fx/SPU? Lewm, That's correct, it fits directly into the bayonet mount of the arm. The only twisting you can do is for azimuth adjustment. | |
| Correct alignment for Fidelity Research 64fx/SPU? Lewm, the SPU comes in its own fixed headshell so don't have ability to change the tracking via the headshell like a standard cartridge. In case of the SME the base is also adjustable but not with the FR. In this case you need to move the arm hole... | |
| Correct alignment for Fidelity Research 64fx/SPU? Syntax, it's not a fact at all, only your opinion. Technically the 3012-R's sliding base makes them much more flexible and accurate setting tracking angle on various cartridges, you're much more limited in your cartridge with the FRs. Where do you... | |
| Correct alignment for Fidelity Research 64fx/SPU? Lewm, I've been at this for years now and spent enough time comparing arms and cartridges on high end tables to finally settle on the 3012-R, and yes the cost is also important. At any given time I have 16-20 arms setup on various tables, aside fr... | |

| Coincident vs Lamm Charles, your comment regarding the bass and drive of the Lamms is accurate. With the right speakers they put everything else to shame. And they have more nuance and transparency than the Franks, easy to hear if the preceding electronics are up to... |
