| Tracking force and Unipivot tonearms I would have to think something is wrong somewhere. I would want my setup to allow me to tweek the VTF up or down to fine tune the sound. I would start with your gauge. Are you certain it is acurate? | |
| Amplifier power versus maximum speaker input power Roscoeiii,Thank you for clearing that up. This was an issue I had a while back and not so now as I use a 6 wpc SET and I am able to use most of the volume control (especially with the phono section). I now know the importance of amp/ pre amp match... | |
| A Manufacturer that pays return shipping I believe in the quality of all of my audio components but also know that humans make them and that humans are not perfect. I was brought up to understand that there are no guarantees in life and that if I can't afford to play I won't. | |

| ARC PH7 Owners is it worth updating to new 5881 " I called Leonard at ARC to express this view. His reply to the assertion that the PH7 had a design flaw was to tell me the upgrade cost $250 plus shipping."I thought Leonard retired a year or two ago? | |
| How do I remove gunk from a Lyra Delos cartridge? Try Last Stylus Cleaner. Believe it or not this product cleaned up the crud on one of my cartridge needles better than Magic Eraser could. | |
| VPI SDS capacitor question If it's not broke, don't fix it. If it sounds good, leave it alone. | |
| Is there a run-in time for Dynavector XX-2? I would love to try that cartridge, but my system can't handle such low output without a SUT. Anyway, a quick check states the recommended loading on that cartridge is 30 ohms. As for break in, don't know for sure but I would imagine upwards of 30... | |
| Benefits of brand synergy Looks like responses are all over the place. No surprise here. It's an individual thing and no right or wrong answer. For me personally, amp & pre amp same brand. Rest doesn't matter. | |
