| HFNRR Test Record anti-skating tracks I stand corrected on the use of the ET2 on a suspended TT like the Sota. That linear tonearms generate no skating force is not a matter of opinion. It's factual. However, probably there is no LT tonearm that is perfectly set up, so in the real w... | |

| HFNRR Test Record anti-skating tracks I have spoken to JR at CAF, and I agree he is very smart and very knowledgeable on tonearms and cartridges; much more so than I. However, in a properly designed and implemented LT tonearm the friction force between stylus and vinyl has a vector th... | |
| HFNRR Test Record anti-skating tracks Guys, it’s a linear tracking tonearm (the ET2). A properly set up LT tonearm generates no skating force. Zero. And anyway as regards the Foz; it’s for azimuth adjustment, is it not? | |

| HFNRR Test Record anti-skating tracks I apologize in advance for some of my ideas based on your post, because you are obviously both knowledgeable and experienced in using this particular combo of TT and tonearm, but here goes: (1) I am sure you know this, but there is one thing more... | |
| Has anyone compared the EMT 139st phonostage to others ? So if they’re in series, then the net voltage gain is a multiple of the individual voltage gain of each SUT? For example, a 1:10 ratio will increase gain 10X at the secondary of the first SUT. Then that voltage would be again increased by 10X acro... | |
| Has anyone compared the EMT 139st phonostage to others ? Wow! What a wealth of information from Good Music. I will never own an EMT anything (not because I don’t like the company but just due to my own old age and set preferences), but the historical perspective GM conveyed is very interesting. I am lef... | |

| question about Balanced signals. All of those criteria are met in a proper balanced circuit. | |
| Would changing to a MC solve my problem? I will ignore your silly riposte. I am not here to do homework. You mentioned the Cary once in one of your early posts, and I did respond to that by saying that most integrated amplifiers (like your Cary) do not add very much if any gain in their ... | |
| Phono cartridge noises He doesn’t have hum. He just said so. Although it’s a good idea to worry about routers/modem/repeaters, why go there when we know he has a giant radio antenna 1000 yards from his room? In medicine there is a canard about hearing hoofbeats and ... | |
| question about Balanced signals. mashif is correct. You would need the first balanced device to have a transformer at its input so as to convert the SE input to balanced. It would then pass a balanced signal to the downstream balanced device. But most often, the inputs on balan... | |
| Would changing to a MC solve my problem? Traudio, both Raul and I are trying to help but you don’t seem to pay attention. What linestage are you using? (That’s my question.) IMO, unless you dislike the Hegel on other grounds, the last thing you need to do to solve the particular problem ... | |
| Would changing to a MC solve my problem? You could as well conclude that your MM cartridge is at fault, because 46db gain in an MM phono stage is typically more than adequate. On the other hand, 2.4 mV output from your MM is low . Most MMs make 4-5mV output. All of this suggests to me th... |
