| The best speaker you ever heard? Many years ago I had the opportunity to listen to the infinity reference standard system and they totally blew me away. I've gone to the shows and heard alot of great speakers but my mind always goes back... | |
| Importance of headshell and tonearm alignment Gregm, thanks for all the added info I will verify distance more accurately and then restart the process! | |
| Importance of headshell and tonearm alignment We replaced original tonearm with an SME plastic mounting board which is made for Thorens tables. Being that this board matches the existing predrilled holes on the Thorens no further measurements were taken. All was done under the assumption that... | |

| Tracking issue with dynavector 20XL What an education!!! I feel like I'm back in school, and enjoying it. I will try the o rings and put that record AWAY. | |
| Tracking issue with dynavector 20XL Thanks Dodgealum, I guess it must be something in the design of the cartridge. I've read here on the 'gon that some members have added 3 gram spacers to their arms with some Dynavector cartridges. I wonder if adding mass would help? | |
| Tracking issue with dynavector 20XL Thanks for the response Raul. No, I haven't had any problems in listening. If anything I am enjoying the sound on my second listening system. | |
| Phono stage for Denon DL103R Thanks to all for your input and advice. As always asking for advice on Audiogon is a learning experience. I placed an order for the DL103R and will report when cartridge arrives. |
