| cartridge issues Readster,I have an opinion on this since I've seen it before. Please consider though that, like Doug says, this may not be what is going on. If you set up a new cartridge correctly but apply either too much or not enough anti-skate the tonearm wil... | |
| TIps for photographing gear for ads? Everything said previously is spot on. Don't use the digital portion of your zoom however. | |
| I'm almost too embarrassed to ask, but..... Okay, now for the big addmission. I've got what, six or seven cartridge test LP's? Not a single one gets left and right channel to agree with my simple wiring which I know is correct. I eventually looked at a photograph of an orchestra and have ho... | |
| cartridge issues You need to adjust your anti-skate. I've seen this and when the setting is corrected the cantilever straightens itself back with the cartridge body after a short time. If you still experience this phenomenon with the correct amount of anti-skate y... | |
| Living with popping and crackling Every aspect of vinyl playback affects surface noise. Just think about each tiny link in this long chain as I'm too lazy today to write about each. The right combination of parts along with proper setup and cleaning will provide very satisfactory ... | |
| What's up with the mono turned stereo mixes??? Budrew,I don't know the answer to your specific question but I'll share some insight. Being analog based and having recordings dating way back to mono days up to current recordings, those that were electronically re-engeneered to stereo were alway... | |
| Suspension vs. non-suspension turntables??? Your Xerxes must be a suspended table based on your wall mounting.

| What's the frequency Kenneth? Dave,The thread title brought a smile to my face remembering how Dan Rather was pummeled while being asked, "Kenneth, what is the frequency?" Thanks for the memories. | |
| LP storage boxes? U Haul has the perfect size box for a little over a hundred albums. They cost $1.70 each where I live. Very heavy duty. | |
| Room Treatments, When are they required? Hi Slappy,Hope the hangover isn't too bad. The reality is that an untreated room can sound very good although the sweet spot may be the only really satisfying place to listen. I've been a homeowner since 1976 and indulged my desire for a dedicated... | |
| Sssss...sibilance? Having recently purhased a used tube preamp I've been swapping out tubes to find the right combination for my tastes. One particular tube set caused this phenomenon in my left channel. I don't know if the tube was weak or just flawed but it was real. | |
| Good Quality Distilled Water??? Okay guys, I bought some of the RR products and they arrived today. Great stuff. I had an LP that I just couldn't get to play quiet enough for my satisfaction. I dug that one out first and used the cleaner and then the wash. It's quiet now. The st... |
