| Ground loop with Miyajima Premium mono ok. Robin said, due to the fact that both sides of the cartridge use the same mono signal; when connecting two stereo outputs it "can" cause a ground loop. this does not always happen. in fact; i've had it when it did not cause a ground loop....an... | |
| Ground loop with Miyajima Premium mono Lew,you can do the same thing with interconnects that a mono switch will do. so it's not a limitation not having a mono switch.you simply have to rid yourself of the ground loop. | |

| Turntable speed accuracy D,welcome to the left coast. if you get up here toward Seattle please stop by.i too have preference for DD and idler, and while i have no experience with thread/high inertia i defer to your perspective about it. i think that speed is like noise fl... | |

| Kuzma 4Point Tri-Planar Hi Mike, My remarks to Doug were merely meant to indicate that there is some question in my mind whether the cartridge vibrations have an unimpeded path into the wood arm tube in the first place. If the mechanical energy put out by the cartridge c... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? the vinyl front end i use is less than the $72k that Ralph mentions for the digital at RMAF. but my point was that all levels (price points) of vinyl playback have improved. a $5k or $10k vinyl front end can sound terrific. just 10 years ago the s... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? Do you really think vinyl playback has progressed much if at all over the last 50 years? How about 20?the biggest improvement in digital music reproduction happened over 10 years ago; dsd and SACD. when it came out i jumped in big time. now 10 yea... | |
| Kuzma 4Point Tri-Planar even though i'm likely at the top of Romy's list of morons (and have been proudly on that list for 10 years), i find him mostly entertaining even when i'm the target. i never take his comments personally. just to set the record straight; Mr. Feil'... | |
| Kuzma 4Point Tri-Planar Unoear,thanks for the heads up.alas; i now only have 1 turntable with spots for only 2 arms....and both spots are taken. but if i get a chance to investigate a Phantom II Supreme i'll check it out. | |
| Kuzma 4Point Tri-Planar i hope you all get a chance to hear a Telos.wood arm wand? single bolt holding the cartidge plate to the arm wand?either the Telos is the least distorted piece of audio gear i've yet heard in spite of those handicaps or because, in part, of those ... |
