Integrityhifi TRU-GLIDER Pendulum Tonearm
Several times I have wrestled with Mijostyn's statement: "A tonearm must be limited to 2 degrees of motion. It must be held rigidly in all others. I will never personally consider an arm that is designed otherwise." I think by this statement, M ... 
What tomearm ?
If you’re dubious of the advice given here, why not contact project directly? In fact why did you not do that in the first place? 
Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig?
a2d, If you find vinyl so laughable, why are you here at all?  I am not offended by your opinion at all, but why? I don't feel the urge to go on a digital forum and make jokes about RBCD. 
Preamp for Herron VTPH-2A
Chak, I share your sentiments about using efficient speakers, up to a point.  (My own fetish is for ESLs and the like.) But in this case, if the added gain from an active linestage is needed, it may have more to do with the input sensitivity of th...

Is this to fix your goofy foot? Sorry, could not resist, and I do hope the surgery you require has nothing to do with any life threatening situation. If the condition IS life threatening, you don't need our advice.  You need to move forward.Your L... 
What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen.
I have been reading contretemps such as these for years, on this Forum and also on Tweaker's Asylum.  I cannot remember ever even one instance where two guys who vehemently disagreed on the efficacy of this or that tweak eventually came to hold a ... 
Phono setting and MC/MM
