| Is this why my analog rig isn't so hot? Raul- Here's the level of character we're dealing with- From two of Psych's posts on the "Analog Newbie" thread: 1) (1/10/02) "I have finally learned how to stirr (sic) controversy in this site and not get heat..." and 2) (1/11/02) "I just have ha... | |
| Is this why my analog rig isn't so hot? Raul- I was on a domestic flight a couple of years back and the pilot spoke in broken English- it was pretty obvious that he was from Pakistan. Well, the passenger in the seat next to me continued to loudly ridicule the pilot's English skills and ... | |

| Origin DC Motor in LP12: Marketing or reality? DCAudio- I had an issue with motor noise on my OL motor. I let it run continuously for four days- that seemed to mechanically break it in. No noise since then.RegardsJim | |
| My new Well Tempered and opinions as to Isolation I have mine sitting on 1" thick acrylic. WT told me that the feet (and you're right, they're silly!) are specifically designed for the table, not an afterthought. They highly recommend leaving the stock feet on. My theory on this is that, because ... | |
| Turntable HUM Another area to look into is the cartridge clips and their connection to the tonearm wires. Reverse the ground wires at the cartridge to determine if a wire or a cartridge channel is bad. You hadn't mentioned if the hum is from both channels or ju... | |
| Shipping Vinyl LP's Heck, Mitch, I'll be in MKE in three weeks. If your sister is going to throw them out, I'll save her the trouble! | |
| Shipping Vinyl LP's I've used the U-Haul boxes sized 13x13x16 with great success. The trick is to cut up a second box such that it fits inside the first box and you end up with a double bottom that extends up the two 16" sides a few inches. It keeps the bottom from b... | |

| which older /used preamp for phono stage ??? Audible Illusions M3A is one of the better pre-amps around, plus it has the "standard" phono section for MM and the "Gold Board" upgrade for cartridges which have less than one mV of output. What's the rest of the system your working with- table, ... | |
| PS Audio P500 vs VPI SDS Aisip- Any syncronous AC motor will need 60 hz, give or take a hertz or two. The "Multiwave" function allows for a variety of cycles in 10 hertz increments and anything other than the 60 hertz setting will likely damage an AC motor. There probably... | |
| Say it aint so--- Teres quality question Having been in sales for many years with a very well run company, it seems that about once a year I get a "transaction from hell". It starts out with a problem and each time I fix it, it seems to get worse! The only solution is to "over-manage" th... |
