| Well Tempered lab I just have to laugh - Yes, it IS just silicon, but using anything other than the viscosities designed for the arm is akin to sending your wife to Walmart for a boob job. YMMVbut If I had a wife.... NIX THAT THOUGHT! Happy listening,~Fx | |
| Well Tempered lab The fluid packs are available through Stanalog, the viscosities for the arm and bearing are different and not interchangable. Since the fluid packs are inexpensive, I have never wanted to use anything other than what WT calls for. ~Fx | |

| How many sealed LP's do you have? About 6 months ago I came across about 20 sealed Lp's, and decided to listen to a few of them. What I found, was that more than a couple of them were warped due to the shrinkwrap. I decided to slit the end of the shrinkwrap on a few of the Lp's so... | |
| Sibilance -- that last little bit... Just an update: I have had this table and arm setup before I had to disassemble it for a move. Same records, same system etc. Never any sibilance at all-- I do remember it took me forever to get set properly. I guess I am just not being patient en... | |
