| Miles Davis - Kind of Blue - current pressing i purchased the quiex 200g vinyl from acoustic sounds. it's the only copy i have so i can't compare it to anything else, but i don't find it to be dull and dynamically challenged. the only issue that's stuck out so far to me is the lack of depth t... | |

| Stylus Force Gauge i purchased the $48 scale from SORAsound. I originally set my tracking force with the Shure to around 2.6g per the recommendation of VPI/Benz. Checking my setting with the digital scale yielded 2.689g so as far as I can tell, the Shure is accurate... | |
| sds powered on constantly??? i was under the impression that you were supposed to leave the turntable motor on and turn the sds on and off in order to start and stop your analog rig. i guess you can turn everything on and off as you see fit though. | |

| SS phono stage in $2k to $3k range... i haven't heard it, but the sutherland phd is in your price range and i've read good things about it. | |
| How do you shield an isolation transformer? you could build a mdf or wood box that covers the transformer, then line the inside of the box with copper foil or copper sheets. if you haven't noticed any ill effects due to the transformer being in your room, i'd say just leave well enough alone. | |
| Supratek Cabernet Dual -schematic, where to find? i own a cab dual. lemme know if you get a schematic as i'd like to have it handy just in case. if you live in the us, you might wanna try contacting kevin covi. he was mick's business partner in supratek. | |
| 10 percent for cables ??? 10% is only a rule of thumb and not carved in stone. spend what you want on cables. shit! for all i care, spend more on your cables than you did on your system. knock yourself out! | |
| Loud POP try disconnecting the preamp and turn on your amplifier. if you still hear the pop, then it's a problem somewhere in the amp. if not, the preamp may be the culprit. is the pop you hear a single loud pop or is it several? perhaps one of the tubes i... | |
