| cartridge headshell screws. Lots of variables with mounting hardware. Weight will be one. Aluminum will be much lighter than stainless or brass for example so you can have minor changes in effective mass that might improve or degrade things. Magnetic vs. non-magnetic hardwar... | |

| receptacles Stick the Furutech on your refrigerator. Plug it into each half of the receptacle for 2 1/2 to 3 weeks (6 weeks in total) and then put it back into your system and see how it sounds. | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre "Here are some examples. You decide:1. SRA:The primary damping material is a “very sensitive thermal reactive copolymer,” according to Tellekamp, who I suddenly imagined wearing a white lab coat. He didn’t scratch his chin and look sideways at me ... | |
| best value current production tonearm The Jelco 750 Series are indeed a huge bang for the buck-I own a 750D.Replacing the stock Jelco mounting base should be mandatory, however, for anyone running any kind of more exotic stylus profile like line contacts or microridge. The stock base ... | |
| Phono stage w/automatic Load-Impedanance. Thanks Ralph. So in theory, at least, there are some technical advantages to this approach. I'm only guessing that it has not become a bit more popular as a result of being "off the beaten path". That perhaps and the fact that the advantage is onl... | |
| Phono stage w/automatic Load-Impedanance. A lot of back and forth going on here but I'm not sure it's related at all to what the OP posted on. I've used the Aqvox happily for about 7 years now. I had a chance to audition it and there was clearly something pretty special going on (at least... | |
| Phono stage w/automatic Load-Impedanance. Just a clarification. The Aqvox was NOT designed for the MC 20 Super. Aqvox only started marketing cartridges a number of years after they had introduced their phono preamp and it is only speculation on my part that their cartridges are based on t... | |
| Phono stage w/automatic Load-Impedanance. The Phonata operates in current mode with MC cartridges. Not anything really new here. I've been using an Aqvox for about 7 years now which operates similarly. The loading is not fixed. From the Stereophile review on the Aqvox:"MC cartridges may p... | |
| Breaking of Furutech's AC connectors...?? Fridge or freezer will do much more and much more quickly. It's not the consistent running but rather the initial surges when the compressors kick in that really get the job done. A very good way of really burning in power cables (short of using a... | |
| Breaking of Furutech's AC connectors...?? If you don't want to go through the break-in, take the receptacle and exchange it with the receptacle that your refrigerator or chest freezer runs on. Run the freezer or fridge into each half of the receptacle for about 2 weeks (one month in total... | |
| New SDS settings If you're getting good results with 72v on 33 I'd be inclined to leave it there. 72v may be low (in terms of all electronic speed control with the SDS) for 45. Based on this:http://db.audioasylum.com/mhtml/m.html?forum=vinyl&n=974466&highl... | |
| New SDS settings How does it sound running at the lower voltage? If it sounds good, personally I would leave it. In theory (and in practice in my case), the lower you can get the voltage without compromising speed stability the greater the reduction in motor noise... | |
| Denon DP-35F and the Denon DL-103 Cartridge I'd suggest increasing tracking force to 2.6 grams-sound will become more focused and controlled. More like real music less like hi-fi. That's based on spending a lot of time with the 103R.Around the 15-20 hour mark is pretty magical, at least wit... |
