| UPS Driver Literally Drops Package with New Hana Umami Red Good luck filing a claim for damages with UPS, especially over an issue such as this one. | |
| UPS Driver Literally Drops Package with New Hana Umami Red If that porcelain teacup was not damaged during its trip down a flight of stairs whilst strapped in to a barrel or whatever, that cartridge was not even fazed by its 3-4 foot drop inside its confined and padded environment. Let’s imagine what that... | |
| UPS Driver Literally Drops Package with New Hana Umami Red Cartridges are fixed in place inside a larger usually rectangular container. Then too for shipping your cartridge was certainly double boxed. Did you ever see one of those videos where they’ve strapped delicate teacup into the bottom of a garbage... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" Dear Wizzzard , I am very sorry that you are plagued by your illness. I wish you well, and I also hope your wife will soon conquer her medical problems. As for me, I release you from any perceived obligation to respond to any of my real or imagine... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum That’s what she said. | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" cleeds, Now I am a bit confused. Above, you wrote, "As I mentioned @lewm , I use a Klaudio US cleaner and have a conventional OG Nitty-Gritty. I don’t find that either cleaner requires alcohol to remove common contaminants." Here you are saying ... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum Good to know you would stop short of trying to repair or re-wind a coil in a LOMC cartridge. | |
| Dr. Feickert Analogue Woodpecker turntable In defense of Jason, I think he meant to be in total agreement with Mijostyn and ghd. Any turntable fits his metaphor. The goal is to make the TT as insensitive as possible to “seismographic” disturbances. This is analog gospel. | |
| Integrityhifi TRU-GLIDER Pendulum Tonearm So can any one of the happy users of this tonearm tell me whether it is meant to be set up so that the stylus tip underhangs the spindle? In other words, is the spindle to pivot distance greater than the pivot to stylus distance? Thx | |
| Matching the cartridge to the phono stage dhite71, Do you see that there is more to it than just whether the phono stage has adequate gain for the cartridge? Cartridges and phono stages are often blamed for match up failures when really the blame ought to lie with the audiophile who trie... | |
| What Are The Differences Between The Vandenhul Cartridge Families I owned a Colibri and had no problems with it. But I do agree that each unit is unique, like a custom built automobile that was built to someone else’s preferences or that you buy second hand. Nevertheless, they are "special". I think vdH does not... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" cleeds, Have you really experimented with mixtures such as the one recommended by Wizzzard, for your Nitty Gritty, and compared such a mixture with plain water? If you find no difference between the two, using the NG, then I am surprised. And can... | |
| Matching the cartridge to the phono stage The SL is an outlier because of its high internal impedance relative to other LOMC cartridges. Plain and simple. The rule of thumb in matching audio components is you want the input impedance of the driven or downstream device to be at least 10 ti... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum And if it’s a cold solder on a teeny tiny joint, how do you plan to diagnose and repair that? I agree with others who advise sending it to an expert, Leung or other. | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" cleeds, You are apparently using an Ultra Sonic RCM. That’s a completely different approach from using a conventional RCM that relies upon "scrubbing" using a solution that can solubilize typical contaminants and which makes the water wetter to fa... |
