| Phono stage can minimize tics and pops on vinyl @atmasphere Thanks for explaining so much about what is going on with the audibility or lack thereof of Pops and Ticks. The point you made above about having a stylus that rides in a different portion of the groove is spot on. My 70's and 80'... | |

I wonder if any of the "budget" phono stages can accom... | |
| Vibration Control @lowrider57 Are your questions referencing my post above? If so, what product do you want info on? | |
| Vibration Control There is often talk here of "repeatability" when folks try different tweaks. By changing the footers in my arsenal, I can always detect sonic changes. The trick is finding the best combination of footers and mass loading of the component chassis... | |
