| Declare the correct value on the Customs form? what someone else said. You’re returning used goods. There should be no charge.On the other hand, what customs inspector is going to question a value of $50 for one LP? No LP ever made is worth $1200. They might be more inclined to question such a... | |
| Question on phono input noise levels I’m having Deja vu; I feel like I’ve written this before. Anyway, “hiss” as I understand the term is not the result of poor grounding or a ground loop. That causes 60 or 129Hz hum. The august gents who replied in 2019 say hiss is a reflection of t... | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers Googled "what is the composition of dust". Found this on the Martha Stewart page: "But there is one important myth to bust: While dead skin cells certainly do make up part of the dust in our homes, it's not as big of a portion as you may think. S... | |
| Tone Arm Lifter Littlefwend gets favorable comments here, if that helps. | |
| Tone Arm Lifter Are you looking for a cue-ing device that requires manually moving a lever or pressing a button, to lift the tonearm off the LP, or are you looking for automation? I would have thought that the 1300G would come with a manual cue-ing device. | |
| What are you using to clean LP album covers? It never ever occurred to me to clean an album cover. In fact, I like the fact that the covers show patina that tells me the LP inside was pressed during the vintage era, and/or that I have owned it for a very long time. | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers I can't resist. Too much idle time. The equations of Newton and Coulomb are quite adequate for considering the situation at hand. You used their constants yourself as a basis for your statement about the relative magnitude of the two forces. No n... | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers RB, to the question contained in your last paragraph, my current opinion, open to change if presented with contrary data (not a “belief”), is based on my data, the testimony of another Forum member who’s done the experiment many times before me wi... | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers The ES force is determined by Coulomb’s law, which like Newton’s equation for the gravitational force is an inverse square law. Both forces are inversely related to the square of the distance between the two objects under consideration . The diffe... | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers Richard, please get over yourself. I did believe what Shure wrote because of who they were, a company with high integrity and a scientific approach that they adhered to by backing up the majority of their information with decent experiments and by... | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers Dover is correct that Shure do not describe the experiment that led to their saying static charge due to the stylus is negligible. My own frustration with that lack of detail is what led me to buy a static charge meter and do the experiment myself... | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers Dear RB, Googles AI is full of.... baloney as regards bullet number one, and the whole business of AI is scary, because we tend to believe ""AI" and AI is nothing but a computer that scanned a bunch of opinions put into print by humans, and human... | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers Wyoboy, I feel compelled to correct incorrect information that falls within my range of knowledge. Ideally, the information on this site should be as accurate as possible, because some of these posts are read and believed by newcomers to the hobby... | |
| Integrity Hi-Fi tru-glider tonearm Good way to look at it, grk. Schroeder firmly constrains the pendulum motion with magnets, which effectively moves the pendulum's pivot down to the junction of string and arm wand. | |
| New phono stage arrived Just for fun, I looked up the characteristics of the 6N1P and compared them to those of the 6922. First, they are compatible, meaning a socket wired for one will work for the other. Both have a gain factor (mu) of 33, so no difference there. Howev... |
