| Kind of Wow and Flutter. Sounds like an off center pressing. Does the arm move around when playing? | |
| Durand record weight ha ha ha ha - and other crazy thing This debate (like most others of its ilk) is conflating three very different topics. The first and least relevant topic is price, hence all the discussion of gold plated cars and diamond studded dog collars. The second is performance which for mos... | |
| Durand record weight ha ha ha ha - and other crazy thing Lohanimal -- being British (like me but I now live in the USA) you really need to save up for the Dalby Audio Design D7 Vinyl Stabilizer at a much more reasonable $6840 direct to you from West Yorkshire (once you get to the top of the waiting list... | |
| Wilson Maxx II problem $1K for a woofer replacement on a $45K list speaker seems like a bargain to me. Doing anything other than a factory authorized change on a speaker of this calibre will destroy any resale value. When I blew a woofer on my Magico V3s (result of a gr... | |
| Lyra Atlas experiences o_holter -- regarding setting azimuth be aware that ensuring that the cartridge is level may have no bearing whatsoever on whether the azimuth is correct. What matters is the orientation of the stylus and many styli are far from accurately attache... | |

| power conditioning question gentlemen If the issue is the effect of the generator have you considered a battery solution to store power from the solar array? The Tesla product is an obvious option. Battery based power supplies are a big trend in audio with products such as the Stromta... | |
| Synergistic Research Tungsten IC... any experience List for a 1m RCA is $2000 (prices per the cable company). If you have the UEF bullets (silver and grey with grooves) figure 35-40% of retail so $700-800. If with the older bullets (silver, grey and black and no grooves) then 25-30% or $500-600. M... | |
| Synergistic Research Tungsten IC... any experience joey -- congratulations on getting this nice interconnect. There's a lot you can do to tweak the performance of this model actually. Firstly if you have an older model you have the original tuning bullets (which are smooth all round and do not hav... | |

If you search my use name (FolkFreak) on Vinyl Asylum you can find my documentatiom and experience with using a USB scope to set VTA if that helps (sorry it seems AudioGon won't allow c... | |

I would like to order a device to look at the underside of my cartridge without pulling the cartridge off my tone armUnfortunately the problem you are likely to have with any USB microscope is getting enough room to mount the scope under your tone... |
