Ortofon A90 or Air Tight PC-1
If I am correct(if not please correct me), I believe, that like most carts the only recommendation that comes with the cart is the VTF. Every other adjustment is by ear. Although, the reviewers(HP) used a Fasgometer to set the Azimuth(It sounds li...

First I did not leave anything out to manipulate anything. Second you are suggest that tas does not know how to set up a cart. Then all the other carts must have been set up improperly as well and only the manufacturer knows the correct way to set... 
Ortofon A90 or Air Tight PC-1
My last 4 cart. because I can not rember before, were Dynavector XV-1s, shelter 9000, PC-1 and now Goldfinger V2. The 9000 I did not like. Took a long time to break in and never really sounded right. The XV-1s and PC-1, to my ear, were very close....

"ONE FAST MOVE OR I'M GONE" I like it! Death cabs B. Gibbard with J. Farrar great team up. Don't hesitate, comes with dvd of the movie and small pamflet. Nice package. Great spin. 
can anyone recommend tube amp for dartzeel preamp?
I too was a solid state guy and now tubes. To me, like vinyl, tubes are away of life(music). Either you do it or you don't! Any half way attempt will just end in disaster("I tried tubes don't see the big deal" kind of talk)! Happy with dart? Stay ...

My altairs are 4ft 4inches off the rear wall. The listening area is aprox 18ft wide by 25ft deep. BUT the entire area is aprox 2000sq ft with only one interior(Side wall) wall. It is a very open design. Placing in a smaller area might work but the...

Another recent release Golen Smog's "down by the old mainstream", definately worth a spin, especialy sides 3 and 4. Nice quality vinyl and very good sound. It has a very nice gatefold cover as well. Will not dissapoint. 
Moving on after van den hul
thanks Geoch, I think I will take your advise. My only concern was the cantilever. I use to have the dynavector, I broke that one twice. I am told this is a different animal all together, much better built. Hearing on my system without buying is n...
