Stylus just falls off?
Rudolffzigray: I have a Basis turntable. The tonearm mounts to a very heavy and solid insert that sits in the chassis of the table. I have transported it many times this way without incident. In any event, the stylus was found to be missing at the... 
Stylus just falls off?
Thanks everyone. The cartridge had never been used until mounted a few days ago, and had been played for some number of hours by the tech to determine the best set-up. He is exceptionally careful, and I watched him move the tonearm, and there was ...

Let's put the point somewhat differently:Let's suppose the audio issues tweak manufacturers are trying to solve are indeed material ones, so that their solution would produce a material improvement in sound.Let's also suppose that the problems are...

Why should it be surprising that some tweaks have material effects?Suppose that RF in a system has a significant distortion effect. We know that A/C is a major source of RF. Wouldn't it make sense that a power cable that materially reduces or elim...

When my friend and I did the comparison between Equarack and Marigo, we were hoping that Equarack would come out on top, since their footers are half as expensive.No such luck.My friend's wife listened and immediately and enthusiastically noted th...

Not out to insult anyone's intelligence. Not out to offend anyone's sense of what amount is proper or improper to spend on a footer.The question was asked: Can a tweak make a big difference?I provided an example of a product that is under most rad...

Cruz: I don't know that anyone besides the inventor really knows how they work. My friend (who is a preamp and cd player designer) and I did a direct comparison of the Marigo and Equarack footers (I had previously purchased two sets of the Equarac...

Yes, the price on the Marigo feet is definitely an issue, especially if you find it works in your system.One set for the preamp, another for the cd player, one more for the phono stage if your's is separate, then one or two more for your amp(s), t...

And they do. And money-back if they don't work in your system.

Marigo Mystery Feet provided an immediate, highly significant and positive audible difference in my system.Marigo Ultra 5 power cords provided an immediate, highly significant and positive audible difference in my system.They even let you audition... 
Our home system: How good it is?
Raul: Have you tried putting a diffusor behind the listening position? I have found this to be effective. 
What's wrong? Nuforce/Capri no better than Sunfire
Jeffkad; You will notice a further remarkable difference if you do the following:1. Get another Sunfire amp and run one channel through each of them. You'll notice a much better sense of channel separation and imaging.2. Contact Marigo Audio and a... 
Our home system: How good it is?
How did you put them behind the speakers? I thought you meant horizontally, but perhaps you meant vertically. In front would have to be horizontally. 
Our home system: How good it is?
Have you tried placing the two you already have in a different position in your room? For example, on the floor in front of the speakers, instead of behind them? Or on the walls? 
Our home system: How good it is?
Raul: How large is your room? Have you found that the effectiveness of the diffusors varies depending on the size of the room?Ie, for a large room, would more diffusors be necessary?
