Channel D Lino C vs. Sutherland Little Loco
Saburo, thank you for your comments on the 47 Labs, BMC, and Lino current driven phono stages. Can we assume your opinions of one vs the others are based on listening to each on your own system? After doing my homework I had concluded that the BMC... 
Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's?
As good as belt drivel. 
Looking for some help with my TT journey.. Records are looping..
Check the routing of the tonearm wires coming from the horizontal arm wand into the pivot area where they have to make a 90° turn and go down through the vertical shaft of the tonearm. Often, those wires can get hung up in the pivot area and cause... 
LYRA DELOS CARTRIDGE TOO BRIGHT, THIN AND SHRILL SOUNDING
Before you give up on this cartridge, unless you already have given up on it, I recommend that you send it to SoundSmith or any retipper who offers an inspection service. As someone else said, these devices are made by humans, and it is quite poss...

Mijostyn, Do you have formal training in electronics or are you self-taught so as to have attained a high level of knowledge about electronics?  (Those are two equally valid ways of getting there.)  Because if you don't, and at least one of our pr... 
Channel D Lino C vs. Sutherland Little Loco
The 47 Labs phono cube is very interesting, as current-drive phono stages go, but sadly it is out of production for at least a year or more. What makes it interesting is that, although many manufacturers claim that their current mode phono stage h...

"By posting this [in reference to my using the fuse debate as an example of something some people hear but which is not so far measurable, except where the specs of the fuse really do differ], I do not wish to start a battle with anyone who is a f... 
Sota or Technics
I do not agree that everything that is audible is measurable. First, we often/usually do not know the connection between measurements and what we hear, although that would probably not trouble Mijo. Second, what about persons that insist that one ...

"Although I am a Rega guy and switched from DD 20 years ago (linear tracking Phase Linear 8000 and never looked back after a $500 Music Hall MMF5 blew it away". I think you’re too smart to believe that you proved something about DD turntables with... 
Bergmann Galder Turntable
Glass speakers. Far more pretentious than an unwillingness to play Led Zeppelin LPs. What a stupid idea!

Tonearm and Anti Skate Question
Messing with AS is a poor way, not to say a bad way, to compensate for channel imbalance.  But all pivoted tonearms generate a skating force, and skating forces put undue pressure on the L channel or inside groove walls while also causing mistrack... 
two problems with turntable
Didn’t anyone notice that cleeds nailed it? The problem is downstream from the turntable, guys. And cleeds outlined what to do next.As to setting AS, no matter what ancient advisories may tell us, setting AS = VTF is always going to end up with to...
