| what is this noise caused from possibly Try removing the weight/string. See what happens. Let us know. | |
| what is this noise caused from possibly No don't to lift the back of the arm. Make sure it's level to begin. Add more weight. What are you tracking at? | |
| what is this noise caused from possibly Distortion where from? What cartridge are you using?left speaker- too much anti skateRight speaker- too little anti skateBoth speakers- you're tracking too light. Increase VTF slowly and listen.If these don't work, maybe problem is somewhere else ... | |
| Koetsu Restoration IMO, once a cartridge has been rebuild/retipped by someone other than the original maker, it will be considered a different cartridge. The fact that if it sounds better or worse.....is up to the owner to decide. Some can sound better, some just di... | |
| cantelever not straight, advise please. The word is not "straight". Yes, I am sure the cantilever on the 17D2 is straight. I cannot be bent. It's made of a single diamond crystal and cannot be bent. It will just snap off. That's why the guy said it was straight under a microscope.The re... | |
| Benz Ebony LP loading I believe the Ayre phono has a 60db gain. On the LP, might be barely enough. You would have to crank it up. Lack of gain can cause the system to sound "not interesting". I had my stepup hooked to my Pass XONO and provided total of 66 db gain. It w... | |
| Benz Ebony LP loading Stringreen, there is no harm trying a stepup like Greg suggested. In most cases, it will outperform an excellent active stage. Gregadd, what step up transformer are you using in your system? | |
| Tube Tuners I second the Mcintosh MR71. I have gone through lots of vintage and modern hi-end tuners and the MR71 is the best sounding of 'em all. They are pretty darn good in terms of selectivity and sensitivity but not the last word. If sonics is your key, ... | |
| HRS M3 users Maple is indeed a good solution but there are lots better. Some might suit your taste better. The good thing about Maple is that it sounds natural but can at the same time sound muddy at times.I have not used the HRS platforms so cannot speak for ... | |
| Considering going Vinyl--Please talk me out of it Hi, I am deep into vinyl land and it can sometimes be fun and frustrating. Here is something you might want to consider:Vinyl is a commitment that needs your time, effort and patience. Since you have no LP's to start, you can still think it over b... | |
| Shun Mook Ultra Diamond Resonators I use them under my power amp, preamp. Yes you can tune the sound by turning them...believe it or not. Even my wife can tell the difference. Before the UDR's, I have used BDR shelves, pucks and cones. They worked very well until the UDR's came. | |
| What is the optimal temperature/humidity for audio Whoa Vegasears, why the sudden attack on Nrchy? This is really uncalled for. | |
| Shun Mook Ultra Diamond Resonators Hi Chris, everything has a sound of it's own. Most damping devices don't damp linearly across the spectrum (0.5Hz- 20kHz). Most damp out certain frequencies effectively leaving many other frequencies undamped. Sometimes this can cause more harm th... | |
| What made you select "audio" as your hobby My dad was an audiophile since the late 60's and so were my uncles. Use to hate it when he would take me vinyl shopping and to those endless listening parties. Officially got hooked into high end audio when I was 12 and the rest is history. | |
| Review: Harmonix equipment feet vs. Shun Mook I agree completely. Just got my UDR's. I noticed their superiority the first 10 seconds into a song. Got the UDR's instead because the GDR's might be a challenge to place. |
