MoFi enzyme based cleaner and pure rinse
Sonofjim, From my understanding, this is incorrect, that Walker is the only company selling an Enzyme product of any merit, or effectiveness. With that being said, one doesn't have to mix up a fresh batch, just to get active Enzymes.Asd I understa...

Sure, scrubbing could pose a danger, akin to if you were glazing-waxing your car, and there is trapped grit-dirt between wax applicator, and paint, you will scratch the surface-finish.To lessen this, I suggest pre-cleaning-dusting with at least a ... 
MoFi enzyme based cleaner and pure rinse
There's others here who certainly have greater knowledge than I, I still feel I'm a relative "greehorn", but I constantly strive to learn more, and more, and bu participating in forums like this one, I feel I have come a long way from as little as... 
Technics SL1200: Baerwald or 1200 white gauge?
Hello Winegasman,Zenith Angle, is the Alignment of the Cartridge so that it is parallel, or I should say plays parallel to the Groove. Commonly, all we used to do decades ago (now I'm showing my age) is make sure the Cartridge was aligned squarely... 
Technics SL1200: Baerwald or 1200 white gauge?
Yes, Winegasman, Ken Willis is another very good option, Ken's a super guy, and I am glad that there are other players out there to provide such as Ken does.As you mention, the options of different Null Geometries are great to have, and lets a use... 
Technics SL1200: Baerwald or 1200 white gauge?
Rtollert/All,This where of course where you sort of leave me in the dust, math is not my forte. I do understand, note, and agree with the fact that many different forces are all taking place simultaneously on the Stylus-Groove Interface, and all d... 
Technics SL1200: Baerwald or 1200 white gauge?
Dan_ed,Not trying to be rude at all, but why wouldn"t it (The Alignment with the Mintlp Tractor) be "done"?The platter isn't going to move, the Arm Base-Am isn't either, and provided the Cartridge doesn't drift on the Headshell, I see no personal ... 
Technics SL1200: Baerwald or 1200 white gauge?
Dan_ed, I feel the Alignment with Mintlp Tractor can be done in one sitting but a quite long one. I myself took about 1 hour 45 minutes before feeling confident that I'd never have to go back again. Insuring that I did indeed have exacting precise... 
Technics SL1200: Baerwald or 1200 white gauge?
What you've said is of course basically correct. That at only two points (at best) can a Stylus be correctly aligned to the groove with a Pivotal Tonearm.I'd probably be correct as well, saying that a large number of us end users, that were using ...

I'm sorry Tvad, if I possibly missed your comments that you have used the Mintlp for the Technics. Guess in all the "excitement", I overlooked this.So, may I ask, not so much for my references, and knowledge, but others, here, present, and future ... 
Technics SL1200: Baerwald or 1200 white gauge?
Perhaps nobody on this forum yet has used a Mintlp Tractor on a Technics 1200-1210, but I have used my Mintlp spec'd at 211mm arc on my Denon DP-2550, with new Acrylic Armboard, and retrofitted my mint 11 year old AQ PT-8 Arm.My machinist buddy An... 
ZYX R 1000 Sigma X - thoughts, comments, reviews
David/All, Well truthfully, Doug had concerns that an AQ Unipivot Arm would be able to control any possible wooliness that the Airy 3X might display. I had real concerns as well if the compliance of the Arm, and it's design would let the Airy 3 op... 
Technics SL1200: Baerwald or 1200 white gauge?
TVAD, I agree with both you, and Siniy as well. Both of you bring good points to the table here.As Siniy says, akin to a Joe Pesci line from Good Fellas "You worry too much". Which might have a bit of truth, as Curio might find complete happiness ... 
Technics SL1200: Baerwald or 1200 white gauge?
A question I have, about this particular Table.I understand some like Baerwald Null Geometry, and some claim Stevenson Null might be as good, or another preference.So, I ask this?Knowing Yip at MintLP, how precise he is, with getting every little ...

First, I'd like saying at least provide us your first name at the end of your posts, don't be bashful, we're basically a very kind, close knit bunch here! :-)Doug's gonna give you straight-forward, accurate, and basically a non-biased advice. IMO,...
