Keeping Out Street Noise / Sound-Reducing Windows
Argon or Krypton gas is really mainly beneficial for solar heat gain and loss. For sound control, air (or even better a vacuum) is preferred, so stick with the Loewen argon gas.....they've done their tests.The 40 STC rating they achieve is pretty ... 
Graham Phantom vs. Phantom II
Dear Daniel,Bill (Audiofeil) replied to a statement made by Syntax with the following quote :-"There is, of course, no best of any component and tonearms are no exception.I have my favorites as well but hyperbole such as this should simply be igno... 
Graham Phantom vs. Phantom II
And when I would be a customer, who has money but no idea, I would agree.I think a read of Syntax's System would reveal the veracity of this statement?But to be fair, only new products makes the money go round.Are we not talking about the NEW Phan... 
Graham Phantom vs. Phantom II
Correct again Bill! 
rewire older speaker internal wiring?
I'm also with Riley. I re-wired my existing speakers with Vampire wire from The Cable Company which I'm sure helped but the greatest improvement was replacing my capacitors with Duelunds VSF.If you can afford it the Duelund Cast capacitors are sup...

More time for whisky and music :-) 
Feickert Protractor - anyone use one?
Yes Stiltskin, when I set up the Copperhead with the Feickert (20 minutes), it then follows the arc of the Wally Tractor (Baerwald)....perfectly!RegardsHenry 
Feickert Protractor - anyone use one?
Sorry Stiltskin if I was unclear.If I try to set up the Copperhead by adjusting the cartridge to follow the arc of the WallyTractor which (correct me if I'm wrong) has the same mirrored base and inscribed arcs as the Mint, I can't seem to achieve ... 
Feickert Protractor - anyone use one?
I humbly disagree with Stiltskin and Doug.Alignment is only one of the functions possible with the Feickert. For me the greatest benefit is setting the spindle to tonearm distance accurately which allows the absolute effective tonearm length and o...

He's been around in Australia for over 30 years and has a brother (Phil I think) who also plays a mean guitar.
