| Michael Nesmith Just reading online that The Monkees played at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. Then mounted a tour from July the 8th to July the16th with Jimi Hendrix as the opener. | |
| Michael Nesmith The Monkees. Sorry about spell check. | |
| How to tame a bright system? Quad 57’s are a good option. I’d see if someone has a pair for sale that they would be willing to let you audition. If you still have brightness while listening to the 57’s, then it’s something other than the speakers. | |
| A pitch too High! terrible, mijostyn is right. When putting the needle onto the center of the laser disc or blank record, adjust the anti skate so that the needle stays in place. Then just slightly adjust the anti skate so the the arm then drifts very slowly toward... | |
| A pitch too High! terrible, I would recommend not using the anti skate at all, just to hear what that sounds like. Then, to set the anti skate, I would use a laser disc. | |
| A pitch too High! chakster, the XTZ is a cartridge from the 80's, are you certain that Grado will have the XTZ stylus and cantilever in 2021? I had a Grace F12 and they are now defunct, so having the stylus replaced by Grace was impossible. But if you know Grado st... | |
| A pitch too High! chakster, so your saying that replacing the stylus with XTZ on a $200.00 Prestige cartridge will out perform a $600.00 Sonata? Anyway, isn’t this the same service Soundsmith offers with there stylus and cantilever replacement? | |
| A pitch too High! Spending $150.00 to retip a $250.00 cartridge seems a little nutty to me. Why not just wait and upgrade to a better cartridge? I had the $600.00 Grado and on certain records, it performed well above what one might expect for that price range. I st... | |
| A pitch too High! terrible, I would say that Vandenhul is probably right but he did state ’in my expeience’ and the likelyhood is that he never had the same problem that you’re experiencing. My cartridge too is in a slightly lower position than the weight on my ton... | |
| A pitch too High! terrible, a tonearm where the cartridge is a slight bit higher than the back of the tonearm will creatte a fuller sound. I said it will flush out the sound but I meant flesh out the sound. A tonearm where the cartridge is lower than the back o the... | |
| A pitch too High! terrible, I don't think anyone has mentioned this but you might consider lowering the tonearm a slight, slight bit, so that the cartridge is tilting upwards. That will help flush out the sound some and it may help with the higher signal. Aside fro... | |
| Thorens TD 165 Speed & Belt Setup Questions I have a modified TD 145 MK 1 and I've never had a motor issue. I'm currently using an Origin Live belt to good results. Anyway, the Thoren's motors are around $200.00 however you're probably fine unless the tempo just sounds wrong. | |
| Heat fiesta75, according to the manufacturer of my amp, he suggests allowing the amp to sit at low volume for a bit prior to normal play. Do you think that this will help with thermal cycling at all? | |
| Half Speed Mastering What label and what title is it? | |
