| Cartridge find Audio Technica AT155LC - any good? I thought if I attached markup tags they would work in here. I was wrong! The links to the pics are below.

| Cartridge find Audio Technica AT155LC - any good? I recently purchased a "NOS" AT155LC replacement stylus from one of the online retailers (not ebay) and found through macro photo analysis that it is the genuine article. Definitely a Shibata Linear Contact needle tip. So there are still genuine s... | |
| Who was the best jazz guitarist ever? For the complexity of playing style I think Stanley Jordan is in a class all by himself. | |

| magnifying glass/loupes used for alignment I have used the PEAK 10x loupes, but ultimately the little magnifier included with my Onzow Zero Dust cartridge cleaner worked better. The best of course are my 6x stereo surgical loupes that I use for neurosurgery. These are custom made and are c... | |
| Is it worth upgrading tonearm wiring Use the Audio Note silver internal arm wire. Its not that expensive and you WILL hear a noteable sonic improvement. | |
| Help: DSOTM Sounds better on CD than LP Could be the LP as suggested. I would also check your setup. Double check that the platter is level, check your tracking force, If you have an alignment gauge make sure the stylus is sitting in the center of the groove. Then I would adjust your VT... | |
| Blue Ray Concert discs U2 Rattle & Hum. Old but absolutely stunning. | |
| Are more turntable motors better? Yes more motors are better in my experience. There are two camps here. Camp one: use a single low torque motor coupled to a very high mass platter. Camp 2: 2 or more high torque motors turing a low mass platter. I have been in both camps in the pa... | |
| tube advice 5687s Bendix Red Bank 6900 is probably the holy grail of the 5687 tube type. However a LOT of people know this. IF you can find a NOS pair expect to pay upwards of $600 for a pair. Due to rarity and cost I've never owned 6900's so I can't comment on the... | |
| Jadis DA30: fuse keeps blowing More than likey a low value shorted cap or resistor in the power supply that is causing a slight overcurrent situation on the left channel causing the fuse to blow but not immediately. Sounds like your unit is going to need a lookover by the Jadis... | |
| Systemdek IIX possible upgrades help needed. I also forgot to mention that with the Rega arm, the best sounding MM cartridges for this table are the Goldring 1042 or any of the Audio Note IQ series which are based on the 1042. If you can swing an IQ3, that is simply a stunning choice for you... | |
| Systemdek IIX possible upgrades help needed. I have a lot of experience with the Systemdek IIX. You were correct in your initial assessment that you wont likely find anything in the $1200 price range to beat it. When configured properly even the Linn LP12 and Upper range Regas wont touch it ... | |
| Art Dudley's Audio Note AN-E SPe He Speakers Glory, My comments stem strictly from direct listening to both speakers on all AN gear. No malice intended! I have never had a pair of SPe/HE's in my home or in my system, and all my listening on them was done in the imperfect enviorment of RFAF. ... | |
| Art Dudley's Audio Note AN-E SPe He Speakers Actually Art did review the SPe/HE in the new August issue of Stereophile, and quite favorably I must say. He said that he liked them better than the LX Signatures, but he admits that he has changed out a lot of things in his system since he revie... |
