Any alternative to Radio Shack sound level meter?
Minorl, It is easy to see the problems but much harder to fix them.Kijanki, don't feel bad. It always looks awful. When I show people what their system is actually doing they usually puke. Remember a lot of the variation below 150 Hz is room effec...

Like I said, there is always one favorite one. The others just sit in the drawer.  
Lower end Soundsmith cartridges vs others in same price range?
Actually Antinn, if you read the article you do not have to get too far to realize that it is gibberish, a joke.  
Lower end Soundsmith cartridges vs others in same price range?
antinn, you have to be kidding me. This is an entirely different application and does not apply in any way to a stylus tracking the mechanical representation of sound. In reality "jitter" is most commonly called miss-tracking. Not only this but So...

Lower end Soundsmith cartridges vs others in same price range?
Now if he could only take care of himself. I hope he has someone in line to take over the company.I'm not so sure why everyone is so interested in retipping. That is never even on the radar when I buy a cartridge. I never have then retipped. I usu...

What to buy?

Any alternative to Radio Shack sound level meter?
Kijanki all that is wonderful but now you need a very high resolution way of digitally creating mirror images of the curves then EQ on top. It takes at least a 64 bit system. The best way is with a digital preamp with room control and the ability ... 
Any alternative to Radio Shack sound level meter?
I'm with Erik on this one. The are a lot of hand held dB meters on the market. I keep one on  my coffee table. I have room control and getting all that stuff out is a PITA. With the hand held I get an answer just by flipping the switch.Using a dB ... 
Are There Any Risks to Your Stylus From Using Magic Eraser
And you don't think you get schmutz on the front sides of the stylus? Wiping the stylus from back to front will remove all the lint and if your records and playback method are pristine that is all you need to do if you see lint on the stylus. Howe...
