| Which part reduces surface noise most? The consensus seems to be that the solution cartridge-related, and as I'm not totally happy with my current cart, I will experiment.I'm curious about:1) Audio Technica AT150MLX2) LP Gear modified AT95SA 3) Shure M97E4) Benz Micro ACE (any output v... | |
| Which part reduces surface noise most? TVAD - which version of the ACE were you using? | |
| Which part reduces surface noise most? I suppose I forgot to mention that I am a Disc Doctor user. And while I'll agree that cleaning with good stuff -including vacuum machines -helps reduce noise, I haven't found that it does that magic "renders the noise insignificant" thing I'm talk... | |

| Wierd Phono problem - what causes this? Is the cartridge mounted correctly? | |
| Technics 1200 Sent for KAB Mods - w/Audio Samples Hi Kublakhan - If you look at my first post, all three songs without any KAB mods are posted. My posts from July 3rd (there are two separate posts) have all three songs with the cardas re-wire only. Finally, my posts from 7/16 (there are three wit... | |

| Technics 1200 Sent for KAB Mods - w/Audio Samples Yes, if I were to limit myself to only one upgrade, it would be the KAB fluid damper. I will qualify this by my preferences:I really hate mistracking, and I was considering selling my 2m Blue cart for that reason, but the damper seems to have alle... | |

| 15 watts & 94 db eff. speakers: how loud? 98 db, not Watts. Sheesh! | |
| 15 watts & 94 db eff. speakers: how loud? Thomp9015 and anyone interested - I had posted, incorrectly, that:The math goes like this: If 1 Watt produces 94db at 1M, then...97db requires 10 Watts 100db requires 100 Watts so your amp is behaving quite normally if it clips when the speakers a... | |
| Is the KAB Fluid Damper worth it if... I just got the KAB Fluid Damper 2 days ago. I am using the Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge which is not particularly finicky, nor is it a naturally great tracker. In my case, the fluid damping is a major, major improvement in performance. Spitty sibilan... | |
| 15 watts & 94 db eff. speakers: how loud? Apologies for my lecture on incorrect math- no more drinking and posting, I promise!My numbers were supposed to be based on the general rule of 6db increments, not 3db, and for that, it obviously doesn't make sense that the amp is clipping. I even... | |
