| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? Halcro, Very few of us have perfect pitch and even those that do probably still do not have the resolution to hear the degree of slow down caused by stylus drag. Unless you have a table like the Monaco that can pick up speed changes in 1/72nd of a... | |
| Mofi One record cleaning solution It is not a problem at all. You can soak a record in alcohol for two weeks and it will play just fine. I have done this. I even did it in brake cleaning fluid. Same results. After doing a lot of research having been wrong on the topic, additives t... | |
| Spatial Audio X3 Open Baffle Loudspeakers Open panel speakers are the way to go particularly in the mid range as there is less room interaction and you avoid enclosure resonance problems. I have made two pair of open panel speaker one was for a patient with muscular dystrophy who is a mus... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? Mike, Yes you have to ask for it and it will probably cost you an additional fee. Gabon ebony has a specific gravity close to 1. 1 is the specific gravity of water. So Gabon ebony is very stiff and heavier than most wood. Once it is dry it is also... | |

| I need some turntable guidance Daveyf, you are correct. I have never seen or taken apart a Klimax modified Linn and it is possible that they have cleverly fixed all the problems that table had. Remember I owned two of them. Back in the late 70's everyone was crazy about the Lin... | |
| I need some turntable guidance Dutchydog, saying "always" usually does not work well. Many records do sound better than their digital counterparts like Jethro Tulls thick as a brick. On the CD version Ian Anderson's voice is very harsh but on the record smooth as silk. I just d... | |
| I need some turntable guidance Not ego, Fun! The mythology behind audiophilia is fabulous and the explanation for what people think they hear are even better, without a shred of proof. Any scientist would be laughed out of the community. It is like a ride through a haunted hous... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? Mike, you need to get rid of both the Wave Kinetics and Saskia. Get yourself one of those Monaco 2.0 tables and put a Gabon Ebony Durand arm on it. The Gabon Ebony has seriously better timbre than the rosewood and has much lower stylus drag. And h... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? noromance, you can say it was me. If you read jtimothya's link you will see idler wheel drives are dismissed out of hand. Then there is a long winded dissertation on the pitfalls of belt drive. What he says is technically true and I am sure he thi... | |
| JL Audio F112 v2 subwoofer - worth the price? dbphd, you just run the subs independently and set them up independently. I use JL Audio subs exclusively when I set up systems for people and have had no problems integrating them into a number of different situations. I set up 2 F112 v2's for a ... | |
