| linn basik tonearm setup? Jiamb. I believe your set-up should be fine with the Baerwald Null Geometry of the Turntable Basics Protractor. There's quite a bit written here as to tips about using it, and enhancing its accuracy. I have it, and use it, and many others here do ... | |

| CAL Alpha DAC: Stock vs. 24/96 upgrade Approved Audio Service may be the only act left in town, as far as acquiring specific CAL Audio Parts, but may not be the last act for doing Mods-Upgrades.Great Nothern Sound was one who regularly did substantial upgrades on Cal stuff. I've got a ... | |
| CAL Alpha DAC: Stock vs. 24/96 upgrade Hello Kevin, Goto The Tube Store, The heading "Tube Type" on the main page, click "12AX7". Scroll down in alphabetical order till you get to "M" There you will see this Tube under "Mullard 12AX7", it of course is not a "real" vintage Mullard, but ... | |
| CAL Alpha DAC: Stock vs. 24/96 upgrade I currently run an Alpha (non 24/96), and have a Sigma II as well, both run with CAL Delta Transports.I'll second what I've found with using Mullard CV-4004, as I tried a good pair of Platinum graded Upscale Audio Tubes, that were donated to me to... | |

If I've hurt anyone's feelings here, I truly do apologize.Now let's start again, please.This thread was about how to clean the Stylus, so I won't wander off on a di... | |
| OK, record is now clean, how about the Stylus? Sjungdahl, I'm trying to be as civil as possible, and asked you some sensible questions. There were no answers, meaning you refuse to answer. Who's then uncivil?This is not unlike the Cleaning Fluid Posts, in that everybody seems to have the right... | |
| OK, record is now clean, how about the Stylus? Sjungdahl, So what information of value was provided? Please go into detail, as I'd like hearing a logical explanation from you why this info provided seems to make total sense to you, and that you're sold on RW's thoeogy, that everybody else here... | |
| OK, record is now clean, how about the Stylus? RW, That's fine, do use what you like, but you came in in as a self proclaimed expert, that your way was law, and other's methods hold no merit. This is your loss, nobody else's.Why, or how can you assume what another person does?What you sold, or... | |
| OK, record is now clean, how about the Stylus? Hello RW, Definitely no argument with what you've said, all makes sense, and I totally agree with the statement of "the more you toy with these delicate things, the more chance for disaster.One has to get a mindset, that this is how it MUST be don... | |
| OK, record is now clean, how about the Stylus? Hello rlwainright, You may want to read some archived threads about the Mr Clean ME if you haven't, to help understand what actually is being done, which I don't see as excessive.What has been suggested, is that first, the Stylus is lightly brushe... | |
| Audioquest PT Arm Damping Fluid Hello Pryso,Thank you for your advice. Yours is course the most logical, and I did earlier shoot an email off to Audioquest, not asking for Fluids-freebies, but if they can provide the Weight Specification for the Fluid?If I have no luck with them... | |
| Audioquest PT Arm Damping Fluid Was wrong for me to say that Damping Fluids, and Damping Troughs are a poor band-aid for bad Tonearm.I failed to recognize, and remeber that many of the finest Arm in the world come with this feature.Perhaps it's more of what the market wants, aki... | |
| Audioquest PT Arm Damping Fluid Hello Wayne, Good to hear from ya!Yes, I still have this Arm, perhaps you were thinking of someone else?I've done so much searching, I've even read a post from you 2 years ago on the Asylum asking similar questions.Akin to asking a person to decip... |
