Is setting VTF on Graham Phantom fussy?
I never have had that experience with my new Phantom. it feels as almost solid as gimbal arms. The only time that the pivot block shifts is that when the top cap is being removed to add/check damping fluid...but that is inevitable. 
SME 20/2 & Graham Phantom issue
RLawry:I guess i'm gonna just keep this mount..it took me 8 months waiting for the arm, and i dont want to send it back it for modification. Bob Graham says the Phantom is supposed to be poisitioned like SME arms on SME table..so i guess it's OK.D...

Cary CAD 211AE tube rolling

Sophia Electric's 845M vs. SuperTNT 845M ?
thanks guys.Coolhand: You are right. Sophia's metal plate 845s are improved version (or better QC) of the 845C. I emailed SuperTNT and they said the latest SuperTNT 845M will be available again in Dec this year....hopefully that will happen ! 
Sophia Electric's 845M vs. SuperTNT 845M ?
Dopogue: What other 845s have you used before the Sophias? How do you like that 845C over the others?I'm having a pair of Cary CAD211AE now..do you know what dissipation ratings Cary run on their 211AE? 
Sophia Electric's 845M vs. SuperTNT 845M ?
Thanks man...the 845C is the older model then...i heard the newer SuperTNT 845M has higher dissipation rating...and can be used in any 845 based amps...but they are out of stock now i think :(

Hi N803nutI have the EXACT same problem as you do, and i strongly think that your problem is due to your listening room, as other had said. My room is also a living/listening room and it doesnt have the ideal shape for speaker placement. I also tr...

Diana Krall - New Vinyl - Good sound - Poor Vinyl
I bought a copy of Diana Krall "From this moment on" from themusic.com. My copy supposed to be from the first stamper and sound good, BUT there are tons of pops, clicks and especially on side B, distortion like the cartridge is mistracking (on qui...
