As a former engineer, I worked on my share of proposals writing both tech sections and working on the cost bidding.The price for a 'thing' needs to include the time to pay for the design, prototyping, testing, quality assurance, documentation- all... | |
| Technics SL1200: standard overhang gauge or MintLP @chakster I was referring to the SL1200mkII - which I have.I’ve not tried any other alignment other than that using the overhang tool as I’ve read elsewhere that the mkII is designed/aligned for Stevenson, and any other alignment requires a non-OE... | |

| Technics SL1200: standard overhang gauge or MintLP Well, all I can say is there a body of postings on different forums that claim the 1200 is Stevenson.And here it isn't.Hence my confusion - and humble curiosity to something definitive from the actual 1200 specifications. | |

| Blu Ray Vs Sky/ Streaming My suspicions are that cable/satellite providers 'cheat' to cram more channels by reducing data rates.That results in macroblocking and subpar picture/sound quality. | |
| Why has amplifier power become a big issue It's always been an issue.I burned up my share of tweeters in the 70's with an uninformed mis-match of inefficient low impedance speakers, low powered receivers, and a desire to have Who concert levels in my listening space. | |
