| Tone arm slow on the drop heat up the arm lift assembly with a hairdryer a bit to loosen some of the silicon fluid. maybe shine a lamp on it while you play. nothing too excessive though. | |
| Da Vinci AAS Gabriel That's an interesting thought Dgad. I wonder if Thomas thought of using one motor and 2 passive pulleys. Arthur K from Funk Firm uses such a scheme and calls it Vector Drive. | |
| Spacer between cartridge and headshell on Breuer You could also try a copper mat effectively raising the height of the LP same as lowering the height of the cartridge with spacer. The Raven One spindle isn't very long though so you might run out of room with mat + LP + clamp. | |
| New vinyl's noisy little secret There are many new recording with bad quality as well. How many of you have a clean copy of Pop Pop or Just a Little Lovin? | |
| New vinyl's noisy little secret Nothing to do with master tapes. They are just downright poor quality control. Noisy surfaces, warps, defects. Plus some of the manufacturers have a no return policy even if they are defects so either the retailer or consumer gets shafted. | |

| Medical Isolation Platforms What accessories do you need to maintain its performance? Is there a specific compressor type? I take it you (Ejlif) use the passive platform type. | |
| Best 2 channel CD/SACD player $2000 used? The new Sony SACD XA-5400ES is $1499 new. Kal Rubinson from Sterophile gave it a sneal preview in the May issue. Apparently takes redbook data and uses the SACD noise shaper to sample at 2.8 Ghz. Redbook performance is said to be stellar. Too bad ... | |
| Dynavector XX-2 MkII vs. Shelter 5000 i don't own a Shelter but do own an XX-2 MkII. I made the choice based on the stylus profile. All Shelters have an Elliptical profile but the XX-2 MkII has a Line Contact profile. There's obviously more to the design but I figure it all starts in ... | |
| Graham Phantom VTA Post Stuck success! i forgot to mention that when i first got the arm that it worked properly. i had to do a bit of both, take off my tonearm cable and gently nudge the post upwards plus it turns out that the hex underneath on the right was loose so tighteni... | |

| Raven One Motor Noise Problem Kenny,I damp my motor controller case with Soundcoat and added a layer of ERS paper. Quiets it down a bit and the sound seems a bit smoother. Have you tried changing your shelf material? I use a Black Diamond Racing Shelf for the Source mounted on... |
