fozgometer v2
I believe lewm makes a good point.  If there are small differences in the output of the cartridge, the Foz will compensate by skewing the cartridge, resulting in overall misalignment of the cartridge.  This effect is especially critical with line ... 
Question about Gray Triangular Acoustic Room Pillows
I definitely want absorption of sound in this room.  Thank you for the explanation.  
Question about Gray Triangular Acoustic Room Pillows
Thank you.  By textured side out I assume you mean the soft side.  That makes sense as I assume the reflective surface should be against the wall.  Again thanks.  
Kirmuss users, what do you find?
Traudio, you cannot quote people on this platform in the conventional way that most forums are set up.  I agree that is a bit of a nuisance. What I have trouble understanding is, if you are just cleaning a record with an ultrasonic cleaner, wheth... 
Kirmuss users, what do you find?
I have had a Kirmuss machine for 5 years.  I have found the best way to use it is to use it like every other ultrasonic cleaner.  Run it through the 5 minute cycle and then dry it.  I forget about all of the other steps. I use a vacuum machine to ... 
Sigur Ros - Best Recordings?
For those familiar with the band, could you send a recommended youtube that exemplifies their music, perhaps a favorite.    
Treating the ceiling and floor, who else has had great results?
This may not be an option for some, but Armstrong makes suspended acoustic ceiling tiles. I used these in my sound room and they worked wonderfully to mitigate an upper midrange glare. They are also inexpensive and look good.   
Does anyone listen to the radio anymore?
@bipod72 , thank you.  I will give WWNO a shake.  The WPR classical stream in Wisconsin appears to be a mono stream.  Why would anyone do that?   
Does anyone listen to the radio anymore?
I wish someone could answer this question as it pertains to radio.  Wisconsin Public Radio recently “updated” their entire program schedule dividing it into two parts, talk radio and news, and the other half “all classical”. The classical half bro...

Phono Stage advice for Mono listening
My tonearm, a Morch DP-8, mounted on an Amazon Reference TT, has a removable arm wand which allows for quickly switching from stereo to a dedicated Mono cartridge without having to make any adjustments. I went full out with a dedicated Mono cartr... 
suggestions for new phono stage
I can vouch for the Phono 70 Signature.  It was the best of several phono preamps that I auditioned for my low output Ortofon cartridge.    
Suggestions for phono preamp for LOMC's
@lewm  Good question.  The Phono 70 has 70 db of gain and it is my understanding that it is not a good match for anything >.5mV output.  The designer of the unit stated it was specifically designed for LOMCs, primarily in the .2 mV to .5 mV ra... 
Suggestions for phono preamp for LOMC's
My recommendation is to get a phono preamp designed specifically for LOMCs. Over the years I have pretty much limited my phono cartridges to the low output variety because they seem to sound best in my system.  The phono preamp I use is the Parado... 
Kirmuss 'In the Groove' Ultrasonic Record Restorer - Upscale Audio Edition
I own and have used the Kirmuss for the last 5 years.  There are not 21 steps to clean a record. You press the start button twice and that's it.  The record is clean in about 5 minutes.  You do have to dry the record off, obviously.  The unit has ...
