| Springs under turntable I won't be mounting my Transmission Line woofer cabinets on springs any time soon or ever, thanks. I do go along with getting any speaker up off the floor by at least a few inches if it's a tall full-range type (to de-couple from the floor, you d... | |
| Have a Victor UA-7045 tonearm coming Bill, In days of yore, some advised setting AS equal to VTF, but I think in this "modern" era, no one would advise you to do that. Now will come a flood of advisories on AS, but what I do is to start out with the most minimal amount of AS that is... | |
| Why are records still warped? For $50, you bought it new and can return it. I have purchased some new re-issues, on the odd occasion, that sound bad compared to the originals, but none have been seriously warped. Harder to return them for poor sound quality. | |

| Have a Victor UA-7045 tonearm coming I have the 7045, and I have owned the MS MA505. I agree that both of them are beautifully made. If you like industrial art, the word "exquisite" would not be out of place. | |

| Springs under turntable This concept of "zero stiffness" is interesting. I have been reading the paper that was cited above. It seems in fact to be a theoretical ideal rather than a truly attainable state. But that's OK as a guide. From my experience with turntable sup... | |
| ADD HINGES to existing removable DUST COVER Dust cover when turntable is not in use, fine.Dust cover during LP play, no.Hinges for dust cover, no, no. When it's off the turntable during its use, you want it OFF the turntable.My opinion borne of experience, only. | |
| Springs under turntable A good fraction of the energy that causes speaker cabinets to vibrate is coming from the back wave(s) of the drivers in the box, which is an issue separate from holding the drivers stable in position and a reason for the many ported speaker cabine... | |
| Springs under turntable First, I apologize to Millercarbon for my snotty tone in the context of my reply to his post about springs and such. I find myself in an irritable state of mind probably due to months of isolation and jitters related to the upcoming election. Only... | |
| Springs under turntable Miller, Stop trying to teach me physics. You can do whatever you like for whatever reason makes sense to you. I will persist in believing that putting speakers on springs or sorbothane pucks is NOT a good idea. "Vibrations" and their control is a ... | |
