| Vinyl headache from hell!!! Don’t leave us hanging. Did you hear the same static on the same LPs at your friend’s house, as you were experiencing on your own system? | |
| Having trouble reducing the vibrations on my turntable setup I agree with whoever said that banging on the plinth or the shelf as a test for isolation is beside the point, at best. | |
| Having trouble reducing the vibrations on my turntable setup I think minus K, vibraplane, and Herzan are kissing cousins, business-wise. If you don’t mind an ugly industrial look, herzan platforms with appropriate load capacity can sometimes be found on eBay. For much fewer $$$. | |
| Having trouble reducing the vibrations on my turntable setup MC, Nodes for vibration should not move around. However, the number of them might go up or down depending upon frequency. | |
| Having trouble reducing the vibrations on my turntable setup DO Nuclear subs and CAT machines use SRA isolation devices? I’ve been around a lot of electron microscopes, and they don’t. | |
| Help - Phono stages dying!! As the late great Roseanne Rosannadana said, “It’s always something.” | |
| Help - Phono stages dying!! Never let your speakers wash the dishes. (Sorry, could not resist. It's a matter of syntax.)Seriously, it would help to know WHICH resistors are failing and whether in all 3 cases the failed resistors have a common function. For example, is it t... | |
| Having trouble reducing the vibrations on my turntable setup Any shelf will vibrate at a certain frequency. Depending upon that frequency, there will be regularly spaced nodes that remain stationary even while the shelf is energized and vibrating. If you can locate those stationary nodes and place the poi... | |
| General question on Carbon fiber tonearms versus aluminum Thanks for mentioning the Yamamoto CF headshell. I own two of them and also an Oyaide CF headshell, and guess what; I like them all very much. Go figure. Very neutral sounding, and they do not color the sound in the way I hear CF tonearms do. ... | |
| Did Nixon Erase My Tape? Every time one of these threads come up, with one or more persons singing the praise of R2R, I am tempted to get into it. Then, one of my local friends who is already deeply into it says, no. That I would be crazy. But when I listen to his tape... | |
| General question on Carbon fiber tonearms versus aluminum Note that I and several other very experienced listeners have independently come to the same conclusion regarding carbon fiber in the vinyl reproduction path. It tends to kill the liveness of real music. Theories involving stiffness, hardness, com... | |
| Back To Static! Magnetization and static charge are two different things, even though both result in an attractive force between two objects. But don’t expect a demag to have any effect on an existing static charge, except where the charge might jump from the obj... | |
| General question on Carbon fiber tonearms versus aluminum Since this is only a matter of opinion, I would offer my opinion that I have not found most carbon fiber pieces to be good for verisimilitude in my audio systems. In particular, that has been true of the very few carbon fiber tonearms I have heard... | |
| Did Nixon Erase My Tape? MC, Relax. We know about both. I’ve watched All the Presidents Men and Dick several times over. I prefer the latter version of events. Plus I lived through it in Washington DC. Also, I always considered mission impossible to be a campy joke. | |
| Replacing the SME 10 stock tonearm Have you consulted SME or one of their US dealers (assuming you are in the US)? Also, you might post this question on Vinyl Asylum; there are many SME aficionados there. Also, Google it. |
