Cartridge Set Up Essentials
jtimothya, you do not do yourself a favor when you use terms like, "sonically astonishing." The difference between "Power On" and "Power Off" is "sonically astonishing." A degree or two of arc is not. I am sorry that you spent so much on the Feick... 
Analog room correction for vinyl
jgreen19, simple. You use an analog to digital converter to digitize the signal coming from your phono amp then you deal with it like any other digital format. I have been doing this for some 15 to 20 years. The conversion is in 192/24. My preamp ... 
replacing tonearm question?
Simao, it all depends on the geometry of the tonearm's and their base configuration. You have to take the Sumiko off and look at the hole size in the arm board. If the Jelco requires a bigger hole or a slightly different position to get it's overh... 
Has anyone seen this? A really beautiful turntable
1+ larry, Audiophile rule #27 is for idiots. In this example the noise on the record is a constant and the same in both examples so just like a math problem it cancels out. Next, since when are air bearings not mechanical? There is a shaft in bush... 
Has anyone seen this? A really beautiful turntable
Oh and Terry9, good work on your own table. I'm not surprised that you are in love with it as you should be. We all love our own children regardless of just about anything.

Subwoofer rumble issue
A subwoofer on springs? Help, I'm gonna die laughing. That's a joke right? Tell me it is a joke.... 
Has anyone seen this? A really beautiful turntable
I started a thread on it several weeks back. No one here owns one yet and I do not suspect there will be a lot of takers. It is more like a conversation piece. The background noise on even the best pressing is a lot higher than any reasonable mode...

Is Graham Slee Revelation best affordable all around phono pre?
1+ lewm, the market is so crowded with everything that it is so hard to make any recommendation because it would be difficult for anyone to be able evaluate even a small number of what is available. Some of it is even regional. I think most of us ... 
Turntable/Subwoofer Ground loop
Mac, you say the "hum" begins as soon as your stylus hits the record which means it is your turntable. The Grado problem was already mentioned but other cartridges can be afflicted by a poorly shielded motor. As you move the cartridge closer to th... 
Help me decide between these two turntable/cartridge combinations
Sorry for the late reply bt. Yes, the Ortofon is a better cartridge. It has a better stylus, it tracks better and although I really have nothing to back this up I feel it is made better. Ortofon has way more experience building cartridges than Reg... 
Subwoofer rumble issue
Paul, I forgot to mention. Get a Hi Fi News Test Record to check where your tonearm/cartridge resonance frequency is.Mike 
Subwoofer rumble issue
Paul, two possibilities. If your sub has room control turn it off and see if the problem goes away. Then as others have mentioned, feedback which can be worsened further with room control. The feed back can be due to a cartridge tonearm mismatch b... 
Phono Preamp Tube Rush
Harry, you did not read the thread carefully enough. I mentioned them way in the beginning.Mike
