WOW, they are important, but in what order?
Fossda,You're putting a power cord between a phone stage and a preamp? What gauge are the conductors? 
Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm
We can tell the direction of a sound source by the arrival time difference between our ears.A sound source 15 degrees to the right of straight ahead at a distance of 4 meters will reach the right ear slightly sooner, but this is not all that clues... 
Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm
Richard,Great post about the arrival time difference between our ears of a sound 15 degrees away from straight ahead. It really made me think about how sensitive our ears and brains are. I'm kind of surprised that I never thought about this. I won... 
Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm
Tony,I'm not totally sure what you're trying to say. There is no problem or error with the pencil marks. You make one mark on the wall at the beginning of the record and you make another mark on the wall at the end of the record and measure betwee... 
Speaker Spikes - do the shake test
Geoffkait,Shouldn't you state that you're a manufacturer in all of your posts? 
Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm
Keep in mind too, like I said before; the Timeline needs to run for several hours on your tt in order to get a reasonable data set for evaluation. You need thousands of rotations to conclude anything in the 0.01% range or else you will be seeing t...

Studiosoundman,Can you provide a detailed explanation of your test methods and results?

sleeving AudioNote tonearm wiring
Anatoliy,Would you mind sharing your source for the exact wire that you're using? Is it the three stranded wire with the Polyurethane insulation?Frogman,That is exactly how I wired my ET-2 tonearm except I didn't twist the pairs after the loop or ... 
Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm
Halcro,Thanks a lot! I was actually waiting to respond until I had some time to really study your results so I wouldn't ask any stupid questions, but all I have done so far was to take a quick look. So, a stupid question.Is the app capable of outp... 
Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm
I was wondering if someone with two tonearms can do a simple test with the Feikert Android/iphone app. Play the test tone with the first tonearm and begin recording. After some data has been collected, drop the second stylus onto the record and se... 
IC wire connections
Henry,If you swap components so infrequently, you might want to think about just soldering your ICs directly to the circuit boards. This way you will eliminate some solder joints (if your RCA jacks are connected to the circuit board with a piece o... 
AFFORDABLE HIGH VFM RACKS - Opinions Please...
I say go with the most solid rack you can with lots of mass. That way if you need to couple some components to the rack you can and if you need to isolate other components you can do that, too (using your goo pads). I decided to build a rack simil... 
Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm
Also note that even if your speed is off by 0.1Hz, it will take 945 minutes of running time for your platter to gain/lose one rotation. Nothing against the timeline, just that your turntable would have to run for almost a day with the timeline to ...
