Well Tempered Ref. Arm
I understand what you are saying. Same answer as before. As I recall, azimuth is a seperate adjustment on this arm and probably has little if anything to do with your problem. The paddle being out of kilter has more to do with arm damping, anti-sk... 
Well Tempered Ref. Arm
I owned a Classic for 10 years and I never ever saw the paddle seated at an angle as you have indicated unless I had recently moved the table and tilted it in doing so or unless you are moving the arm to the record in which case the paddle will mo... 
Worth outlaying on a Phono Pre?
The phono stage plays through your line stage so while a phono seperate might give you some flexibility in terms of gain and loading options, you probably will not have much advancement in sound quality. 
Color Code for Benz Ruby 2 or 3 Cartridge
Thanks Again Dlshifi 
Color Code for Benz Ruby 2 or 3 Cartridge
Thank You Dlshifi. I thought that was the correct line-up. As noted by Audiofeil, I believe that is with the cartridge right-side up, or stylus down. Correct? 
Hard choice: Lyra Skala - Ortofon PW - Benz Ruby3
All good cartridge choices. Complete agreement with Larryi in that the greatest leap in tonality will be the Lyra. I recently bought the Transfiguration Orpheus to use in my TW Raven AC-1 TT with Tri-Planar VII arm. Yes, different and more expensi... 
Visiting with friends and Walker Audio
Rush,I think it is important to add that the fabulous sounds we heard at Lloyd's over the weekend are had without multi thousand dollar room treatments. In fact, Lloyd's room is lightly treated acoustically and the room treatments used are the hom... 
Brinkmann La Grange Tube PS vs New TW-Acustic AC-3
This is an impossible question to answer. I can only say that I purchased the Raven AC - 1 motor version over the Brinkmann La Grange. My experience auditioning both tables was that I found the Brinkmann uninvolving. It came as a surprise to me si... 
Record Clamp for Well Tempered Turntable
If upgrading your clamp is your latest desire, stick to the WTT and get the reference clamp. I have used mats on the WTT which I owned for many years. WTT never recommended a mat and I agree. The WTT is a very finely tuned TT and I would not recom... 
VTA on a Triplanar
VTA depends upon your own individual arm/cartridge set-up which is what I think everyone has said to you. Start by getting a level arm early in the arm set-up process before worrying about VTA adjustments. My own set-up puts the VTA dial on my Tri... 
No deep bass or highs: VTF or VTA issue?
Have you checked platter speed rotation with a strobe and strobe light? I see you are using the VPI SDS Motor Controller. If the platter runs slowly, the sound would be sluggish and muddy. I am not indicating the platter runs inconsistently, just ... 
High-pitched whine AFTER playing vinyl
Is the phono section of your Onkyo preamp equipped for a moving magnet cartridge or moving coil? I would be surprised if it was equipped for a moving coil cartridge which you seem to be using. This could be where your problem is. I presume that if... 
SOTA Comet --- Opinions please.
I owned a Comet about 15 years ago. It was the best buy serious table of its time, $400, although it had significant motor speed issues which resulted in my selling it. Supposedly these issues have been fixed in the new versions. I have not heard ... 
What's the Best LP You Bought in 2008
My favorite LP for 2008? I have two. One recorded 20 years ago and re-issued just a few months ago. The other, a used original pressing, was recorded in 1989 and given to me by Bruce of Stereo Unlimited. The first is the 20th Anniversary 45 RPM re... 
which cartridge is good for Well Tempered ref TT
You're welcome Sam. BTW, my WTT Classic is still hard at work for a friend after 12 years of hard work at my place. I went over to his place to hear it and I still think it is capable of producing the blackest backgrounds on the planet if set up p...
