| Turntable versus tonearm versus cartridge: which is MOST important? @rauliruegas use a trough for your tonearm (like my Rock Elite)It takes the tone out of tonearm and it massively equalises tonearms. To that end it either puts the tonearm as the most/least important part of the equation.Most - insofar as using th... | |
| Turntable versus tonearm versus cartridge: which is MOST important? @lewm i think you got my point because clever/lucky buying can distort the equation. @chakster not sure if you got the 'tongue in cheek' nature of my joke/question. I bought JVC as a doorstop - sorry just kidding - i got it to listen to and as per... | |
| Turntable versus tonearm versus cartridge: which is MOST important? There's a chap called Mike Lavigne who has an absolute top flight system and is very approachable. I asked him the question and he said that after a certain stage in a turntable it's the improvements in the arm that are the most significant. Cartr... | |

| What is the Best Tool to Measure Cartridge Azimuth? Can’t you use an app meter and test record | |
| HiFi News Test Record Azimuth I get @millercarbon because from the outside to the inside - particularly with a weight/screw-down there is a curve/dish to the record. That said the hi Fi news adjustment is quite useful. Dr Feickhert at a talk informed the audience that mc’s alm... | |
| Analog Upgrade - Where to start? Whilst I haven't heard the PS Audio, I can comment upon what I have. If you want dynamics and transparency - a sort of front row seat consider a TOM Evans phono stage - i have auditioned and heard various Groove phono stages and Toms designs are a... | |
| Which Phono Pre? If you can find one get a Vendetta SCP2a. I have the first Whest 0.20 and it was much better than a Tom Evans Groove. The Vendetta i got had to be re-capped and on the advice of John Curl I upgraded the IC chips. I don't worry about the next thing... | |

| Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Speaker Cables I am sure there are some rubbish cables out there - nothing more than tone controls - not the Townshend. Call me controversial but anything with nordost speaker cables sounds like a nordost. Not their interconnects or tonearm cables I have noticed... |
