| VTF gauge Forget about specs. Many of these gauges are 2-3 tenths off. Get that calibrated set of weights for $6. Trust but verify. | |
| Grounding Speakers You can get 14 gauge twisted pair power cord with a shield (third conductor) This is what Tannoy had in mind. If your cable is not shielded using the ground connector is useless. | |
| What other Hobbies or Interests Do You Have? Barts the 68 is my absolute favorite vette! It would round out my trio of a Singer 911 and an Eagle Speedster XK-E. Time to go out and buy another lottery ticket. Geof3, my oldest is a starving actress in New York City. She was Vivian in The Marve... | |
| VTF gauge Unfortunately, the Shure is no longer accurate enough. Most cartridges now come with a specific recommended tracking force which put the cantilever in the optimum position. The recommended VTF in many cases comes down to hundredths of a gram certa... | |
| GNEDBY RIP Goethe, My solution to the problem was a Mac Mini a 6 TB hard drive, and Channel D's Pure Music program (it up samples everything)Then I took all those CDs and traded them in for store credit with which I bought a bunch of new records. My wife was... | |
| Linear Tracker ...I was wondering Dork, if your Terminator is so hot why are you selling it? Rube Goldberg could not have come up with that arm. But my absolute favorite was the Harmon Kardboard design with the rubber wheel that tracked a revolving drum! I won one in a raffle! Use... | |
| Linear Tracker ...I was wondering Bill, I have owned two of them and played with God knows how many. It is nice that your Yamaha uses light beams as a limit switch. As I said above, when somebody does it right without compromise I am all in. It is great that you have kept your ta... | |
| Why the woofer moves badly when playing certain LPs I am not a big fan of periphery clamps. It is a lot of extra weight on your platter's bearing and they are a PITA to use. Vacuum or reflex clamping are better solutions. Vacuum will remove some of what we are seeing but not all of it. Starbusters,... | |
| Why the woofer moves badly when playing certain LPs Cleeds, since when is a resonance point a "brick wall" situation. The resonance peaks then rolls off. If your woofers do not move at all visibly and you are playing vinyl either your woofers do not go down very low or your cartridge is too stiff f... | |
| Dire Straits : what is your favorite pressing? I have the Pallas box set as well as all the CDs. The Pallas set is certainly premium vinyl. The only problem I have with it is that the cover box was not put together to well (delaminating) and I have had to make repairs. | |
| Why the woofer moves badly when playing certain LPs Cleeds, have you actually impulse tested your system and looked at the frequency response curve? Are you using digital room control? Being meticulous with setup is very important and it will certainly help but even if you have your tonearm set at ... | |
| Why the woofer moves badly when playing certain LPs Your woofer is playing the warps and surface irregularities. All that is certainly less than 10 Hz. That arm does not look all that heavy and I would think the AT would do fine in it. If you want to know for sure you have to get a Hi Fi News test ... | |
| Why the woofer moves badly when playing certain LPs Absolutely mc. Mostly with small warps and surface irregularities. Not all new records are bad. Some are terrific and there are several companies that consistently put out great product. I can't remember having trouble with built in rumble in the ... | |
| Playing Vinyl in a Cold Room mc it is time to put that bottle of wine down. | |
| Ok guys Bob, There is a best way to keep your records pristine and then there is everything else which has severe shortcomings for one reason or another. Obviously you can't spill beer on them or throw them into a corner at the end of play.Uberwaltz actua... |
