| Clearaudio Clarify Help Needed! @dover Thank you for making that correction about Clarify VTF adjustment. I noticed it was wrong but no longer have that arm and haven’t for some time, so let it go. The Clarify, Magnify, Universal (and Tracer I think) all adjust VTF using the kn... | |
| Is There a New Record Pressing Machine Out There? @mijostyn I think they look nice, but it doesn’t seem to make much difference for me. I don’t manually cue records and I also use an outer ring. It might be that the ring pulls lipless discs down better onto the platter, but I can’t tell for sure. | |
| Clearaudio Clarify Help Needed! I had a Clearaudio Ovation, which came with a Clarify arm originally. It was a problematic arm with the magnetic bearings and I was happy to get rid of it and all the woofer pumping it caused. And adjusting AS from underneath was bonkers. I never ... | |
| Is There a New Record Pressing Machine Out There? Quality Record pressings in Salina, KS has had the ability to press discs without a lip all along. My Analog Productions subscription series of Prestige Mono and Stereo reissues are pressed with no lip, while my subscription series of the RCA Li... | |
| New Fozgometer V2 Can't Zero Meter I have the V1 and it works well. If you are in the U.S. contact Musical Surroundings. They'll get you sorted out resolving whatever problem it has. | |
| Tone arm length I have an Innovation [Wood - which is no longer used for the model name]. I have two 12" Universal arms on mine, and I used to have a 9" instead for one of them. Both have Lyra Atlas cartridges. One is the SL (stereo) and the other is the Mono. I ... | |
| Dynavector XV-1S My Dynavector XV-1s went back to Japan for a factory rebuild. It came back better sounding than it ever was. The distributor told me when they performed the rebuild they included improvements they’ve made to the model it since mine was new. I can... | |
| Phono Stage in inputs for 2 tonearms I have a Naim Superline with Supercap DR phono-stage. I am now in the same boat. I need two phono inputs for two tonearms (I have Clearaudio Innovation with two 12" Universal arms, one with Lyra Atlas Lambda SL, and the other with Lyra Atlas Lambd... | |
| I made a rookie mistake, don't do this I don’t get the obsession with a dustcover. It’s not going to help with dust accumulating on/in the cartridge. That happens while playing records, and brushing the stylus after every side or two can help mitigate that. I gave up using a dustcover... | |
| Think I ruined stylus Don't leave stray hairs on your needle. | |
| I made a rookie mistake, don't do this @elliottbnewcombjr A dust cover might be adequate (or not) keeping dust off the platter and plinth. It serves little useful purpose otherwise. It does nothing to help the life of a cartridge. The latter part falls under keeping your records and ... | |
| Thank You Fumihiko Sugano and Koetsu @pindac You know something about this, or are you just speculating? What makes you think there's a "strong possibility"? | |
| Thank You Fumihiko Sugano and Koetsu Reports are circulating out of the Koetsu Users Facebook group that Koetsu is no more. The family has decided not to sell to a third party to continue the brand. I don't have a Koetsu, although I have considered one before. I have two Lyra Atlas ... | |
| Stylus stuck in groove. I once bought a used record that had something so gooey and gluey that nothing would remove it, and trying just made it worse. As a last resort I used Goo Gone with a microfiber towel on just the contaminated grooves and it worked brilliantly. I ... | |
| Where to go next with the turntable I'm pretty sure that was Linn that said not to clean records @traudio It was Roy Gandy of Rega who said that. It was even printed in the Rega TT manual (don't know if it still is). |
