FWIW, "Gauss" are a unit of magnetism. EMI is measured either in Volts per meter or Watts per meter-squared.

Sounds like I was wrong in assuming the app measure EMI and not magnetic field strength, as "Gauss" is a unit of magnetism (but it might also be a unit of measure for EMI; I need to check). I have no evidence that magnetics is any problem with L07...

What does the app actually detect, EMI or "magnetic fields"? Those are two different phenomena. I would expect it detects EMI. I don't think this is endemic to every single DD turntable ever made; I would expect it is something to think about on a... 
Long cables from turntable or phono stage
Nick, No. The vast majority of cartridges are inherently balanced output. So it is possible to use a true balanced connection from the cartridge to the phono input. It especially makes sense to do so if you have a truly balanced phono stage. Such ...

Very informative. Thanks again.

Ecir and Banquo, Before reading Ecir's post, I was about to say that I looked up the definition of "feed through eyelet" via Google, and to my amazement I found the definition. I had never heard that term before. Ecir, in one of those URLs I do se...

Banquo, Your idea of the cause of the glitches in my TT101 operation is a good one. When we first got it to run at all, it exhibited all sorts of crazy forms of malfunction, even though every single electrolytic capacitor had been replaced, and Bi... 
has anyone else tried Lloyd Walkers latest tweak
Dear Rodman, I assume that I am "Mr. L". If so, please tell me how your last post in any way addresses the question of whether an inert crystal (not one that is energized in any way) can prevent RFI from affecting one's vinyl playback. Yes, Al poi... 
TTW MOMENTUS MOMENTUS "The MONSTER" Rim Drive
Bydlo, You have specifically catalogued all the things that I also do not like about rim drive; I just did not wish to go into gory detail. TTW claims to have addressed at least most of the issues in the Momentus.

Perhaps a thong. But then one's other turntables would be attracted.I hope Halcro does not mind this diverting of his thread topic from nude to TT101 nude, but I have a TT101 question for other users: Even after Bill Thalmann blessed mine, I still...

I agree with all that the metal chassis is a sonic problem and removing it entirely might be a good idea. I am going to try it. I had already come to the conclusion that the "pants" on the DP80 ought also to be removed, but first I am going to try... 
Can Digital beat our Analog installations?
Jfrech, I wondered how you could perceive that the Cardas cable reduced "noise" compared to two other cables, when the background is said to be better than -100db for any respectable digital playback system. I don't doubt your perception that the ... 
TTW MOMENTUS MOMENTUS "The MONSTER" Rim Drive
TTW has come in for more than a little criticism on this forum, mostly from one or two dissatisfied customers. I am not a customer, but I always thought they deserve a little credit for their "all-out" approach, whether I always agree with their d...

I am all for "education and hobby fun", dagnabbit!The Denon DP80 bearing is also supposed to be "forever", so I've done nothing to the bearing in my DP80, as well. The fact that your bearing fluid was brown indicates it probably was a good idea to...

Also, if what you theorize were true, we wouldn't be having this discussion; it would be common knowledge.
