| Cadenza Bronze on a Fatboy Following a procedure I saw on YT (by Ortofon), I get the cantilever roughly right as a way of getting the SRA in the ballpark. Then I can do the more fiddly photos of the stylus itself to get that adjusted as close to 92 as I can. Then I go and c... | |
| Cadenza Bronze on a Fatboy Here's a photo of my Cadenza Bronze when I started to align it. The protractor is set to measure the cantilever angle, and you can tell the back of the cartridge needs to drop a bit more for the SRA to be right. My later pics were all zoomed in on... | |
| One of the great things about Vinyl @oddiofyl Thanks, it is only temporary as I can now use MC cartridges. I think I'm going to buy a record cleaner next and then experiment with a nice MC I think you have your priorities right! Clean records are much bigger improvement over a... | |
| Goodbye Everyone I'm yapping away again, (now an obligation) until my buttt hurts, then down to listen to some music. Does having three 't's in your butt improve the soundstage, as it were? | |
| Rumble showed up on NEW record??? And for future reference, rumble is a result of TT motor/spindle bearing noise, and is independent of the record being played. It is something you should hear (if you are unlucky enough to have it in sufficient quantity) whenever the turntable spi... | |
| Goodbye Everyone Photo forums can be as touchy as hi-fi forums. I have pretty much stuck with film as I have the skills and like to keep them alive. While I have sold all my Leicas, I do still visit a film thread on a big Leica forum, where any kind of film photo ... | |
| KT66s in place of KT88 tubes Oh, yes, I'm au fait with all that, and the 'more tubey' sound was what I had in mind. I know there will be a lot of internal changes to make, now, after talking to the guy I use to keep my Quads in repair (for example, he has already replaced the... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! My best box speakers were Castle Winchesters, and my best transmission line (sans box) were Time Frame TF700s. I liked them both, and still do when I have to put them in service. Now I have never even heard a Magnepan, but I have owned Quad electr... | |
| KT66s in place of KT88 tubes @jjss49 Thanks. I was rather hoping using KT66 tubes in place of KT88 would make my amps sound a little more like the SET amps I used to have. And maybe, from your description (if I look at it in a positive light rather than the reverse) they woul... | |

| Decware and “The List” @jeffstrick may your god be with you A Dave Allen fan? | |
| Decware and “The List” I have a good deal of sympathy with Chip. I have leukemia and I'm hoping I will be one of the lucky 33% cured by a bone marrow transplant.* I would have bought a pair of Decware SE84UFO monoblocks recently (to bridge into mono) if it were not for ... | |
| SME 20/2 Tonearm Ground Wire: Where in the table should be connected? I’m not sure if they will help you, though. The SME cables that came with my arms have two ground wires. The one that leaves the bundle near the plug that goes into the base of the tonearm is to be connected to a ground on your pre-amp. The other ... | |

| What's your experience with snooty HiFi salesmen? No experience. If you want to help me and make a sale, be nice and show me why I should buy your product. There's so much rubbish on the market that you have to keep your eyes wide open, and your ears paying full attention. Rude salesmen lose sal... |
