"the sounds of mental illness", clear winner in the weird catagory.

Stereo cartrdge now playing mono!!
The first time that I installed the Hana I had to reverse the pins of one channel. they pins are are colour coded. So I can only assume that the problem came with the new cartridge which is rather unfortunate, Meanwhile I have mounted my old (num... 
Stereo cartrdge now playing mono!!
Thanks, I know that it sounds crazy but I solved the situation by swopping the red and green leads. It then gave me stereo with a hum. I sent it back.  
The character of analog and digital
I post very seldom but enjoy the more mature and informative responses which is why I also welcome Millercarbon back, and as I only listen to vinyl I enjoyed his comment!. Yes LP`s do vary far more in quality than digital musical reproduction howe...

Why Music Has Lost it’s Charms (Article)
That is a very good article, of course as an old timer I would consider it so. I well remember `Dark side of the moon` released when I was in high school. Along with Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep and many others we had a rich source of mu...

Whats on your turntable tonight?
Just recieved Anathema - Judgement and Joe Satriani - Shockwave. The Anathema is a reissue by Sony. It was a bit decentered which is not a problem with my Roksan Xerses, I just remove the spindle cap and shift the record on the platter.

Setting up a cartridge

Similar argument to which make of car, mode of travel, etc is best. I never bought a CD player so have limited experience in comparing the two formats on a decent system in ideal circumstances. My digital listening has been with mp3 players and ho... 
Has anyone finally decided to sell their Turntable and Vinyl collection?
Interesting topic and I enjoyed reading the replies. Its not always a case of whether vinyl sounds better than digital, more an involvement experience as kingbarbuda well mentions. My very limited experience of CD`s just brings memories of more fi... 
Area rug-my dilemna
Hi fsonicsmith, what a wonderful system! How are your speakers mounted on the floor. I ask because like you I have a wooden floor, so I made concrete plinths and stood them on that with their rubber paddle mounts. 
Digitizing Vinyl; Suggestions Please
Wow what a lot of effort just to change 250 hours of music from one format to another one, and as one member mentioned, with a slight loss in quality and then to loose all of those nice album covers. Then you have to sell all the analogue stuff! A...
