Why the woofer moves badly when playing certain LPs
Ralph the 18Hz is as measured. I use room control. 
Why the woofer moves badly when playing certain LPs
Other than both Starbusters and myself being head cases. Geoffkait, keep your mouth shut. 
Why the woofer moves badly when playing certain LPs
Ralph you need to come to my house and I will demonstrate. Most of the bad records are coming from the likes of Warner. The lathe is the only mechanical step in the process now. So it is the lathe by default. When I first got one of these records ... 
Playing Vinyl in a Cold Room
No mc I doubt it. The mass of the elastomer is very low. It will revert to room temp very quickly. Alex just put ear muffs on it:) You need to put a radiant heater in the basement or move the system. I keep our house pretty cold in the Winter. No ... 
Can someone explain to me why : Accupahse Equipment is that expensive ?
The best CD player I ever owned was an Accuphase. I wish I never sold it.  
Silly question, but I’ll ask it anyway.

Phono stage for 0.2mv cartridge?
Like Atmasphere suggesting something went wrong in Dallas. I can not believe it would be a loading problem. Bad cartridge? Bad something. I believe ARC makes phono amps with 72 dB of gain but you really should not need it. I knew somebody who had ... 
Linear Tracker ...I was wondering
jag, linear tracking arms are a waste of time and money. The technology to do it correctly has not yet been developed. The problem is that the horizontal effective mass of these arms is too high creating a very low horizontal resonance point. All ...

revel Sub-15 line signal
Hey Mitch, I went to UVM back when most Vermonters were packing.If you are blowing subwoofer amps I will assume you like rocking in which case a full crossover is mandatory if you do not want to overload your Salons. I would never go without a cro... 
Ok guys
Lewm and unberwaltz, you can be as hard on me as you wish. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Playing records creates static electricity. Static electricity attracts dust, dust damages records, dusty records get noisier and noisier. I...

zardoz, it is a fact that married men live longer. Something about being hen pecked I believe.Vegas, why would you want to live in California or NY. Puff, locomotive airhorns? Must have a gas problem. Toot Toot. Geoffkait, I just knew it. The litt... 
VTF gauge
mc hit it on the head. Any Gauge will do you just make a stand for it that puts it at the level of the record. Just place the stand at the platter's edge with the gauge on top. I would use a small block of wood planed down to thickness. If you do ... 
Looking for a good speaker for my metal shop.
treblebob, I use an old pair of Mirage tower speakers in my shop. As long as you keep the grill cloths on they will be fine. Do not bother with any fancy veneers. Just a good utilitarian speaker that can go reasonably loud. Old Advents would be pe...
