| Alphason 100S tonearm tracking force adjustment In addition to following the instructions given you by Dover and frogman, you would be well advised to purchase any one of the many digital VTF gauges that are now available online. There is no need to spend a lot of money on one, but choose any ... | |
| I am enjoying my analog system, but what can I do to improve? qwin, I cannot comment on differences in sound quality between an SL1200 Mk2 and the 1200G series, but do bear in mind that there are several variants of the G series, to include the G, GR, GAE, and lord knows what else, and that the low end of th... | |
| I am enjoying my analog system, but what can I do to improve? Raul, Just to be clear, I have never heard any transformer coupled line stage. That is why I take no position up or down on the Allnic. For all I know, you are correct in your evaluation. I assume you have heard it. | |
| Check this out. Must be superb because has nano-copper. I hope the casing is airtight. Else the copper dust will oxidize and that wouldn’t be good. Assuming the copper dust (aka nano particles) does anything good in the first place. | |
| Kuzma 4 point 9” or 313VTA What is a “313VTA”? | |
| I believe I experienced great PRAT for the first time I thought we were talking about pace, rhythm, and timing, which are actually 3 words that mean the same thing in audio. But none of them refers to “emotion” except obliquely. So,yeah… | |

| Why exotic stylus not used on MM? I think it’s clear by now that the root premise of the OP is false; no need to beat a dead horse any further. | |
| Why exotic stylus not used on MM? It was a joke, Pindac. Humor, not semantics. | |
| Why exotic stylus not used on MM? Above, should have written “neither SS nor anyone else…” | |
| I am enjoying my analog system, but what can I do to improve? You probably did not talk to Dr. West, as he is very hard of hearing if not actually deaf, and he does not talk on the phone to anyone. You may have exchanged emails with him. I have done so myself, and he is a very nice man and very tolerant of h... | |
| Selecting Analog Gear Based on Music Preference? Use your own ears first. | |
| Why exotic stylus not used on MM? I’d rather watch an exotic dancer than an esoteric dancer. SoundSmith SMMC cartridges are a very pale imitation of the B&O original, and if you think the originals have aged into mediocrity, send them all to me. For one thing, SS and probably... | |
| Why exotic stylus not used on MM? If you've got an NOS MMC1, contact me. | |
