Clearaudio universal tonearm re-wire.
I have two Universal arms and those litz wires give me major stress anytime I have to swap a cartridge. I am super careful and have been lucky so far, but I'm interested in solutions if I ever have an issue. I assume repeated cartridge changes wil... 
UPS Driver Literally Drops Package with New Hana Umami Red
@cbl117 OK, so your dealer drop shipped the cartridge to you. I stand corrected. It’s still not a big deal. Packages get dropped all the time, over the course of transit. It’s up to the shipper to package things appropriately. Most do.  
Rockford Fosgate Signature Phono Pre needs repair
The Fosgate phono-stage and headphone amp are long discontinued. The Fozgometer is still a current product and was upgraded to a v2 not so long ago. Jim Fosgate died this past December.

What I have will have to do for now. I'm going back to my blissful ignorance where I enjoy music and have nothing to worry about. :)  
Rockford Fosgate Signature Phono Pre needs repair
I think MS also used an east coast facility for the repair of mine. It came back and worked for about a week before developing the same fault again. That’s when I was refunded. Ended up with a Herron VTPH-2 (upgraded later to 2a) and used that for... 
Rockford Fosgate Signature Phono Pre needs repair
Try contacting Musical Surroundings. They are the former distributor for the Fosgate Signature. I once had a Signature V2. It ended up with right channel problems that never did get fixed correctly. I ended up getting a full refund from the deale... 
Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights
@mijostyn OK. I got that one, for a couple bucks. If I put my iPhone on the platter and bang on the isolation platform I get tiny little blips (like small bubbles). If I bang on the rack the isolation platform sits on the tiny blips are even tini...

@mijostyn who's the app publisher? There's more than one fitting your description. The one I got comes up as "Vibration Meter, seismograph": "Measure all vibrations" by ExaMobile S.A.  
Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights
@mijostyn What app do you use (I am on iPhone) I picked something off the app store, and vibration seems negligible to be. During normal play it says vibrations can only be detected by instruments, and if I bang on the isolation platform with the...

@pindac My wall shelf will be mounted to a plaster on brick wall. I will drill into the brick an fasten the appropriate anchors, readily available form the local hardware store. I have done this before. As an extra measure I also glue the anchors ...

At the moment I have my TT on an isolation platform, and that one will just have to do for now. It may not be a perfect solution, but it's good enough. I listen to a lot of large scale orchestral music and hear plenty of inner detail, and the soun... 
Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights
@mijostyn Thanks for the info. My turntable is a non-suspended design. At some point I will try a Harmonic Resolution Systems (HRS E1X) isolation base for it. Those are tuned for type and weight of component, but it won’t work with my current set... 
UPS Driver Literally Drops Package with New Hana Umami Red
If a carrier dropping a well-packaged component that ends up fine anyway burns your butt, then maybe you should consider supporting your local B&M dealer instead of buying online. Just a thought. :)  
Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights
I wonder what a Panzerholz isolation base would be like, with the proper feet? I have a isoAcoustics Delos 3" Maple platform I use for the Innovation. Technically I have exceeded the weight limit for it by about 8 lbs, but I don’t have any isolati... 
Clearaudio Magnify tonearm- replacing anti skate wire.
I agree. Just send it to Clearaudio for proper repair. I forgot all about the Magnify anti-skate adjustment. I hated it, and it was marginally better than the one for the Clarify (under the arm board). I had both arms and no longer have either - ...
