| Anti-Skat on the EAT F-Note Tonearm Anti-skate applies an OUTWARD force to counter the inward skating force of pivoted arms. It varies with position and groove modulation. All anti-skate mechanisms are just bandaids. My FR 29 and FR 54 arms have no anti-skate and sound fine! | |
| TAS. The Absolute Sound? At least Stereophile has John Atkinson's measurements while TAS is just "my golden ears" tell me it is so. I called out Michael Fremer on Facebook for touting a $6K power cord. | |
| McIntosh MC275 vs Dynaco ST70 @viridian : You sir are correct! I said 6GH8 because I couldn't pull the correct 7199 out of memory. Either will work on that input/driver board, with some re-wiring for the different pin-outs. | |

| The molecular level explanation of "cable burn-in" Creating standing waves on the wires in the cable. LOL x 2! | |
| The molecular level explanation of "cable burn-in" DC Phase Alignment! LOL! | |
| The molecular level explanation of "cable burn-in" Keep on believing in imaginary things. | |
| Are your record surfaces as silent as CDs? Line contact styli have lower groove noise than elliptical/spherical. | |
| Advice and recommendations needed for a turntable rig... I have an older Technics 1200 and the PLX1000 is at least as good in all aspects! |
