| Kirmuss users, what do you find? Thanks for the correction, Antinn. Although I think it’s a matter of the degree of toxicity. Both are poisonous but ethylene more than propylene | |
| Kirmuss users, what do you find? FWIW, Propylene glycol and propyl alcohol or propanol are related only in that both are 3-carbon molecules and both are alcohols, but with different properties. PG is what you put in your car's radiator to prevent freezing and overheating. If the... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade Albert Porter may have been the first ever to offer Panzerholz plinths, for Technics DDs. AF is in the same category. But both Albert and Artisan must be regarded as aftermarket suppliers. Neither make TTs or ever did. So the question is still ope... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade What other commercially available TT uses “densified wood” in its construction? | |
| Suggestions for cartridges for Rega P8 Does Mr Gandy really claim that VTA doesn’t matter? | |
| Suggestions for cartridges for Rega P8 Conversation jumped from compliance and effective mass to VTA, in one fell swoop. So far as resonant frequency goes, if you use a calculator on the internet be sure to add the weight of the new cartridge to the base value for tonearm effective mas... | |

| Suggestions for cartridges for Rega P8 Tonearms don’t have “compliance” that figures into the equation for resonant frequency. Tonearms have “effective mass” . Resonant frequency is determined by cartridge compliance and tonearm effective mass. Because the cartridge body weight adds to... | |
| Suggestions for cartridges for Rega P8 Soko, You wrote, "light weight to match well with the Rega RB880 arm - I am not interested in any tweaks to have to add weight to the arm or headshell to accommodate admittedly unlimited choices, although if I have to use a spacer for the non VTA ... | |
| Phono Stage - The great analog tragedy While what you wrote, and what I am about to write, has absolutely nothing to do with the "topic", such as it is a topic, I will add that I too have found that upgrading the capacitors used in the RC type RIAA network makes a tremendous difference... | |
| Best way to spend my money I have used AntiCables interconnects for years, when I don’t want to make my own. Very good bang for the buck. Also I’d look at the “used” market. Cables don’t wear out. | |
| SME style headshell recommendations Most of us go on the assumption that any head shell with a bayonet mount will fit any tone arm with a bayonet receiving mount. While it is true that you can almost always make that work in the loose sense of the word, I have found that not all hea... | |
| How Much to Spend on Turntable, Cart., Phono Pre "Secondly, in many cases the collective opinions on the internet do a lot to describe basic aspects or characteristics of gear that people might know." It is my opinion only that you would do better to do a search for reviews of any two pieces of... | |
| How Much to Spend on Turntable, Cart., Phono Pre At its present state of development and in relation to choosing audio components, ChatGPT and AI in general are complete horse poop. Those programs only summarize uncritically all the BS that’s already available on the internet. There is no “intel... | |
| Best way to spend my money Many responders do not seem to realize that the OP is running 15 foot cables NOT between his TT and his phono stage (bad idea) but between his phono stage and linestage. That is perfectly OK, but since they are both balanced devices, it seems remi... |
