Morch DP-8 arm on a Helix Two turntable
Thanks, D. I have a DV501 (given to me by a dear departed friend) and two DV505s. Only one DV, one of the DV505s, is in constant use on my much tweaked Lenco.  I prefer it to the 501 because of easier VTA adjustment, although I do know that many f... 
Morch DP-8 arm on a Helix Two turntable
Dover, Those side weights are a feature I mentioned once before in reference to tonearms that have a high effective mass in the horizontal plane.  As I am sure you know, that is the raison d'etre for the side weights, in the case of the DP8.  The ... 
Technics moving all turntable production to Malaysia
Audio files = audiophiles, of course.I hate autocorrect. 
Technics moving all turntable production to Malaysia
I wonder how this new policy will play out in Japan itself, where there are more audio files per capita than maybe anywhere in the world that I have ever been. They still have stores that are reminiscent of New York City in the 1970s.You can buy a... 
Had an epiphany, what would happen when all of you die?
Erik, I will put my stuff on the front curb. Don’t disturb my wife.I thought it interesting that Luis used “you” in his question. As if he is immortal. 
Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again
SA5.1 is v nice sounding. 
Had an epiphany, what would happen when all of you die?
And audiophiles will have inputs installed directly into the auditory cortex and so I n a way there will be no “audio”Philes. 
Had an epiphany, what would happen when all of you die?
Music won’t go away. Ways to enjoy it will be different. Maybe the connoisseurs will have different obsessions. Tubes will rule after a nuclear apocalypse. 
The best TT system for under 30K
For what little it's worth, my advice to the OP has nothing to do with analog vs digital.  For whatever source, the best way to figure out what you want from your audio system and how to get there is to take time enough to evaluate what you have a... 
Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed!
Larry, I am empathetic with you regarding your wobble.  The G series have been on sale now for about 4-5 years, in their various versions.  If Yogiboy's reference to Youtube is to your turntable, then we have two reports of this same problem occur... 
Ever wanted to know, what your phono cartridge sounds like dead flat??
Without either accepting or doubting your premise, I thought the premise of the OP's post has to do with RIAA. Period. 
The best TT system for under 30K
Uwiikz, Your system is “evolving” at a rate only seen in science fiction movies. In those movies, the mutation rate is also high, resulting in some sort of monster that then has to be dealt with by the good guys. I agree with Raul and several othe...

Thanks for the clarification, Dover.

Too much anti-skate can be just as damaging as too little antiskate. And because the skating force is varying across the surface of an LP at any given moment, finding a setting for anti skate that is just about right, like the temperature of the p... 
Rebuilder of Drnon Dp59L’s
The most expert person I know of is JP Jones of Fidelis Analog, on the internet.  JP specializes in Technics SP10 Mk2 and Mk3 but has worked on several others of the best vintage DD turntables.  If it were me, and if I had a defective DP59L, I wou...
