| Have a Victor UA-7045 tonearm coming Greg, unfortunately getting the turntable to operate properly might be more complex and expensive than fixing your tonearm. However, the number one guru for DD TT repair is JP Jones. He can be found at fidelis analog, his website. As to the tonear... | |
| Dustcover Blues If you cut off your subwoofers does the problem persist? | |
| Dustcover Blues Leaving aside our differences regarding to use or not to use a dust cover, I am thinking about your hypothesis that right now your turntable/cover are together acting according to the principle of a Helmholtz Resonator. The idea does "resonate", ... | |
| Dustcover Blues In your first paragraph you describe the very reasons why I never use a dust cover. Also, I think you might be kidding yourself about the benefits, but I wouldn't argue that point. What you're observing is nothing special or out of the ordinary in... | |
| Radio frequencies picked up by phono stage. Any one or more of the above suggestions might help. I can only add a question , was the tinfoil grounded when you wrapped your phono stage in tinfoil? | |
| Dustcover Blues Good idea, tvad. And it allows Mijo to reduce his tranquilizer dose. But we know that any remedy that leaves the cover in place is working because the resonance has been altered in frequency. The resonant energy generated by the presence of the... | |
| Turntable Belt Care—talc or corn starch? I had forgotten that talc is now hard to find, because of its proven toxicity, not only because it physically resembles anthrax spores. If one must use something similar, what about the current version of baby powder? I personally don't think it... | |
| Turntable Belt Care—talc or corn starch? Please forgive me, but I cannot help the thought that powdered sugar would sweeten the sound. Very bad joke, I know. But I gotta agree with MC; don't you want both the belt and the platter rim upon which the belt rides to be as clean as possible... | |
| Dustcover Blues Nature abhors a vacuum, I always say. | |
| Dustcover Blues "Cognitive dissonance". But Mijostyn is smart enough to change his ways, without a therapeutic intervention. | |
| Dustcover Blues Duh!!! You demonstrated for yourself that your problem goes away when you lift the dust cover, yet your excessive fear of dust and static electricity and feedback induce you to want to change anything else but removing the dust cover during play.... | |
| New cartridge selection: help wanted Have you compared the new low output ART9Xa to the Delos? I’d consider that AT to be the proper comparator to the Delos. | |
| 10 Inch Tonearms I would use one of the 5-6 tonearms I already own that are not already in use. Or if I needed extra length I’d buy a good one used, but only if the TT required the longer tonearm, not merely to enhance performance. | |
| 10 Inch Tonearms Since a mono signal is entirely encoded in lateral motion of the stylus, one would think that maybe lateral compliance of the cartridge (not vertical) and inertial mass in the horizontal plane of the tonearm might be critical factors. Azimuth sett... | |
| Cartridge alignment, WallyTractor, SmartTractor, oscilloscope and Analogmaigk. You will get a dozen or more different responses. Some will say the Smartractor is too expensive, others that it’s too complex. Many will swear by protractors you’ve never heard of. Smartractor is a great choice. Don’t overthink it. |
