| Have a Victor UA-7045 tonearm coming Elliot, No need to apologize for being curt. I enjoy these discussions, and I view them as a way to learn from others here. We are a very tiny fraternity of people who have even the slightest interest in most of these subjects, so vigorous debat... | |
| Springs under turntable Mijo, No argument here on the necessity for stabilizing an EM, but you previously intimated that this was necessary because of optical requirements. Anyway, this is off topic, and I just wanted to be clear. I used to have an EM, and a person to ... | |
| Have a Victor UA-7045 tonearm coming Elliot, I am not sure what you are recommending, so maybe I am off base in the following statement. If you are recommending setting AS using a smooth, i.e., grooveless, portion of an LP, or a test LP that has no grooves at all, or that alignme... | |
| Springs under turntable Electron microscopes are electronic.At present there is no way to visualize biological molecules using only visible spectrum light microscopy, although there have lately been some tremendous advances in that science too. | |
| 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. | |

| What the heck did I do Sometimes a little dirt or dust on the Hall sensor can screw up the operation of the feedback network. Been there. Done that. Fixed that by just a careful cleaning. Of course, if you did anything to alter the spatial relation between the sensor... | |
| 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. |
