Dynavector 507 arm lift assembly on a 501 arm
I'm trying to discern what bearings and what vibrations you have mentioned. The arm lift is a passive device, and isn't capable of producing vibrations. It has no effect on any bearings that I can discern. Can you elaborate? Regards, Dan

Dover, I sure understand and appreciate what you've done on your 501 arm. That is some precision work you've done, and for it to be sucessful, you had to have done a very good job. Doing that kind of work on your system is very satisfying and rew...

When I got my 501, back around 15 years ago, Dynavector did not stock hardly any parts for their older arms. I haven't even checked with them, if they didn't have parts that long ago, I wouldn't think they would have them now. Maybe I'm wrong, tho... 
Tannoy question: Can I pair a Monitor Silver with a Monitor Red?
I don't have any information about the frequency response in the various drivers (HF and LF sections of the two different speaker types), but if you have crossovers, you can lay them on the floor without enclosures and see how they respond. You m...

I was going to mention Tempo Electric (from whom I bought two pairs of  12 gauge 12' long solid silver cable w/teflon insulation), and have been very happily and successfully using them ever since. I'm glad I don't have to buy them now, though. ...
