Phonocut...Dear Santa
What are you going to do? Turn CDs into vinyl? 
Mag Lev Turntable. Your Thoughts?
No MC cartridges? That certainly was not made clear on their web site not that I would have ever purchased one.  Come on uberwaltz. It sure beats that $5000 print your wife was looking at!

Or, you could by three Lino C 2.0 for $2500 each. "Stupid -Great for the money," Michael Fremer.  
What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker?
regismc, a fast cable? Please don't make me choke on my dinner. Electricity travels at the speed of light. All wires have exactly the same speed. Resistance and capacitance are separate issues. Personally, I would rather be addicted to sex. (Big s... 
Magnepan Sweet Spot
douglas, then why say it at all? Line source speakers produce a larger image than point source speakers which many of us think is more realistic. You disagree and that is why Howard Johnson's made 28 flavors. Planar Magnetics still have a sweet sp... 
Mag Lev Turntable. Your Thoughts?
It is the solution to a problem that only exists in the minds of a few crazy audiophiles who hear things the rest of us can not fathom. But, it is cool none the less and would make a great conversation piece. 
Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction?
Mike then we agree, knock yourself out. I'm sure it is a lot of fun for you. I would rather spend my limited money on stuff that would make a substantial difference like ear plugs for my wife:)Anvil, stylus friction is going to have the same effec... 
Anti-Skate
edcyn, If the cantilever was angled towards the center of the record it means you had too much anti skate compensation applied. The best way to adjust anti skate is with a test record like the Hi Fi News Test Record.It has tracks specifically for ... 
Phono stage with 3 inputs
Very few have three inputs and the ones that do are very expensive.The Pass XS Phono has three, I believe the Constellation Orion has three. The Swiss HSE Phono Amp has three, and the CH Precision has three. I hope you have a very deep wallet. Of ... 
Magnepan Sweet Spot
kythyn, if you rotate the system your listening chair will be up against the wall which will exaggerate the bass. I would keep the system on the 12 foot wall. Have you set the Tympani's up with the tweeter panels to the outside? If not please try ... 
Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction?
Anvil, any added friction is going to slow any table down a bit unless it has a compensatory mechanism. Most tables create an equilibrium situation which in table like the big Kuzma is probably strong enough to overcome stylus drag. In some tables... 
the ultimate solution for vinylphiles????
JUST what we all need. I think I'll leave the cutting to analog productions. 
Best tonearm under $2k
Rick, there is no getting away from physics. Effective mass and compliance determine the frequency the suspension oscillates at. You can dampen the oscillation with various damping methods like a paddle in viscous oil but the frequency remains the... 
What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker?
Obelisk, rodman is correct. The drivers have to be phase/time aligned. Sound from each individual driver has to reach your ears at exactly the same time. The Dalquist DQ-10 was the first speaker to try and deal with this. It is all about transient...

Boy some really odd analogies flying around here. Audiokinesis are you out there somewhere? Your help would be appreciated:)
