| Analog Magic Question I read the tutorial. V2 works a bit differently than V1, but what I stated about azimuth is true nonetheless. For azimuth, the goal is to minimize crosstalk and to make it equal in both channels as I described. For VTA, the goal is to minimize d... | |
| Analog Magic Question The actual measured values for the azimuth are 0.45 (left) and 0.48 (right). That can’t be correct. For this test you are playing a 1 KHz tone in one channel and measuring how much lower it is in the other channel. Lower is negative dB. -20d... | |
| Analog Magic Question The greatest thing about Analog Magik is the peace of mind I get when I am done. For years I sat listening and wondering if my cartridge was aligned. Now, even though there are too many variables to ever get it perfect, I am confident enough in my... | |

| Selling collection directly in the pacific northwest? Look up individual components on HifiShark.com and determine the approximate resale values on each piece While not a complete waste of time, HiFi Shark compiles listings of what people were asking, not what it sold for.
