| Help - Scroeder CB-9" tonearm - anti-skating setting issue Sancho, twist the arm in it's mount so that at rest the tonearm is closer to the platter. That should fix it. You can also increase the VTF just a little. | |
| How do you know what room treatments to use? mglik, you can not tell without measuring. Some of us from experience can get a decent idea by listening but still measuring is the best. Now, since you are planning on getting a new preamp you might look at three units. DEQX, Anthem STR and Trinn... | |
| Has Radicalizing the Rig Led to Revolutionized Listening? Having a great system is the best of the best.In my head I guess there is good music and bad music in every genre. My brain does not editorialized on the type of instrument. Yesterday I listened to John Renbourn's The Hobit then turned around and... | |
| Getting him in my ARC PH3se phono pre 😉 | |
| Getting him in my ARC PH3se phono pre Don't forget those RAM Labs tubes. They will lower your noise floor 10 dB!! | |
| Getting him in my ARC PH3se phono pre So, not location. Check the tonearm negative wires. After that it has to be the cartridge. I understand Soundsmith cartridges do not do this. You may also call Grado and ask if they have a solution to this problem. Ortofon and Clearaudio cartridge... | |
| A pragmatic view of cartridge expenses / many questions No, you can't just add a larger counter weight. The cartridge's compliance has no relationship to it's weight. You will have to add head shell weights to the arm and/or heavier screws. You will probably need the larger counter weight to handle thi... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity Lewm, it is very easy to measure with a high voltage probe. Building ESLs I just happen to have one. You are not arguing with me Lewm you are arguing with scientific facts of life. All you have to do is get up off your back side and do a little re... | |
| A pragmatic view of cartridge expenses / many questions Hold on audioquest4life you are making one slight mistake which I do not want to come back and haunt you. The Benz LPS has a compliance of 15 um/mN. The Koetsu's, all of them have a compliance of 5 um/mN. The SME V has an effective mass of about 1... | |
| Getting him in my ARC PH3se phono pre Also, check your tonearm negative leads for continuity. Tonearm wires have broken. | |
| Getting him in my ARC PH3se phono pre Not sure that means anything Last_lemming. If it is the vicinity the turntable is in the only way to determine that is to move the turntable, what a PITA. The Grado is notoriously sensitive to external fields maybe if you explained your misery to ... | |
| Streamer with AES3 Out and no DAC djones, hows about an Apple mini with a usb to SPDIF and AES converter. Channel D's Pure Music has a stream through option which allows you to stream anything the computer can stream which I believe is just about everything. The computer can be ru... | |
| A pragmatic view of cartridge expenses / many questions Lewm, thanx for the history lesson. Ferrari was a second rate driver. Scuderia Ferrari was his team and they started racing Alfa's in the 30's. Mussolini was an Italian, everything had to be Italian. When Tazio Nuvolari came from behind in an unde... | |
| A pragmatic view of cartridge expenses / many questions Back to serious business. Audioquest, nature is full of surprises. Making a tapered cantilever is not easy. Making one that is tough and light is even harder. I suspect Frank Schroder has detailed the thorns characteristics and thinks they make an... | |
