| Casters to replace spikes I use 3 casters, 2 front, 1 rear center: more weight per caster, and always wobble free anywhere. I also put rear corner blocks to prevent tipping, just a bit above the floor, no contact unless speaker starts to tip.you want good tight axels so th... | |
| Do you stop the turntable or let it spin while you run e record brush wash batches of lps OFF the turntable while listening to clean ones.then, after clean, all I deal with is paper dust from inner sleeves, or airborne dust on the surface, not in the grooves.

| Need opinions on duping CD's I've always used computer drives and Nero to 'copy cd', quick copy. I cannot tell, copies of a great cd sound great. I recently made 4 copies of very familiar music to compare two players, moved orig here, copy there, all the same. | |

| Blackbird 12.5" Tonearm: revised with DIN Connector. cleeds, I meant a logical limit to the length of and physical/interference exposure of the tiny litz wires. They are frighteningly delicate.here is silk covered 36 individual strands, each 0.04mm strand enamel coated so the ’skin effect’ is contai... | |

You willl probably agree: until you have messed with them, you can’t conceive just how tiny these wires are. Frighteningly delicate. I s... | |
| Should we pay more attention to delays in sound? Tannoy single driver designs produce a singular source of directionality, this is their design philosophy, and many like yourself like/prefer the results. however, they are not time aligned. high frequencies travel faster than low frequencies. tim... | |
| Should we pay more attention to delays in sound? That’s a remarkable measurement, didn’t know we didn’t know it.3 things seem related1. time alignment of frequencies, highs traveling a speck faster than lows. Some designers slope the face of their enclosures for this purpose. You can simply tilt... | |
| Blackbird 12.5" Tonearm: revised with DIN Connector. lewm,the arm's designer 'prefers/preferred/stubbornly insisted' that the buyer can make as pure a chain as possible with loose litz wires as you describe. I was not shy about my opinion: "you strip these wires, you solder them"! There's a limit t... | |

| What are some of the better tuners out there? mitchbsomething is wrong, very wrong, with your equipment, tester, or ...these tubes last avg. 10,000 hours.Audio Classics just overhauled my 1962 tube tuner/preamp, 17 tubes, some appear to be original. They all tested good on my tester before I ... | |
| So damn hard deciding which tube preamp to buy! roxy54I know, I saw OP’s budget, I contend the mx110z can equal whatever he comes across, leaving a fat wad for content!Actually, I suspect this is just fishing without bait. |
