| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? The TP does have that damping trough near the pivot. Why would that effect the skating force? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Chak, With regard to your last email about Paypal requirements, I guess you are correct that one is not compelled to attach a checking account to the Paypal account. (It’s been quite a while, so I don’t remember for sure, but I have no reason to d... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? What I like about Clearthink is that he always gives 3 choices of nouns, gerunds, or participles. | |
| ADC 26 BEST PRITCHARD CARTRIDGE EVER? or BEST CARTRIDGE EVER? Still, his results with the FR 64S would interest me, as a comparison between the Reed tonearm and the FR 64S with whatever headshell.. | |
| ADC 26 BEST PRITCHARD CARTRIDGE EVER? or BEST CARTRIDGE EVER? Halcro, with regard to your message to Chakster I think I read that Chakster uses a Reed 3P tonearm, 12 inches in length, made of Cocobolo. He has apparently mounted more than one high compliance cartridge on that tonearm which would have an eff... | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? Chakster, probably you shouldn’t disseminate the idea that VTF should equal AS. For two reasons: first, most AS devices are imprecise as to the amount of AS at any particular set point, and second, because many users including me have found that i... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, it often takes longer to receive goods from Canada than from Russia, China, or japan, here in the northeast US.

When I first used Paypal, and I noted they want users to link Paypal accounts to personal checking accounts, I actually opened a special checking account at my bank for linking to Paypal. I keep very little money in that account, because I saw ri... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I've related this story many times, but here goes....I bought a tonearm (from a seller in NYC) and paid via Paypal using my credit card. The tonearm was in bad shape and missing parts. The seller was evasive, to put it as nicely as possible. I ... | |
| ADC 26 BEST PRITCHARD CARTRIDGE EVER? or BEST CARTRIDGE EVER? Coreless Straight Flux Cartridge.... costs $12,000?"Inductance, secret". Ya gotta love that.I'm going to look for it in Tokyo in May, if I can remember the name, which by then I probably won't. | |
| Koetsu Rosewood - Best/safest way to clean stylus “Friction “ is not going to happen if ME Is used correctly. The only way that ME could stick to the stylus is if the stylus tip were to penetrate below the surface of the ME such that it gets enmeshed. When I drop my stylus on ME using the cueing ... | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? Miller, Neither I nor cleeds is advocating doing what the op suggests. Let’s keep that in mind. | |

| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? Jack, The stylus travels in an arc with the pivot point of the tonearm at its center (not a straight line). Tilting the turntable is about the same as hanging an anti-skate weight on a string, to pull the tonearm toward the spindle (as is done wi... | |
