| Do I need an overhang gauge, in addition to a protractor to position cartridge correctly? Overhang is the distance from the tip of the stylus to the vertical axis the tone arm pivots on. Yamaha manual is saying when pointed straight at the spindle the stylus should be 16mm. So that's your overhang gauge right there.Overhang is only par... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts For quite a number of years now I've bought all my gear based entirely on on-line research. Would greatly prefer home audition but that's just not possible. Not once the field is narrowed down to the one or two best in value/best in class. One of ... | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? +1 Millercarbon. Every piece of wire matters as does every connector. This thread is like the 80's all over again. Right. That is how far back you have to go. That is how far behind the times some people are.Synergistic Research came out with the... | |
| CD Treatment Green I think.Translation: Never tried it. Don't have a clue. | |

| Advice on set up. Am i making a mistake with my Amp? I’m pleased with the sound but not emotionally thrilled especially from the digital playback. Vinyl does sound have a lot of life depending on the recording.Yes analog (and tubes) are inherently better at this.This is why I’m asking for help, I do... | |
| Quarantine Project--A Full Range Speaker Kit I am now motivated into experimenting with the higher end (and larger) Markaudio drivers. They are really onto something.Yup. Almost all of the value is in parts selection and design. Almost all of the cost is in putting it all together. If you c... | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? the only way to be sure is to try it in your system.In case anyone missed it the first time. | |
| Any experience with these turntables? That’s the best way. Here’s the full-blown methodical way. One by one check them out visually and by hand. Pull platters, check belt or idler wheel for condition- cracks, dents etc. Turn bearing by hand, feel for smoothness and play. Do the same f... | |
| Any experience with these turntables? You're comparing very old tables in unknown condition and expecting anyone to know. Which might have been a reasonable question if asked back in the day when they were all new. But now, condition is everything. The best of the three when new could... | |
| Another Newbie, Another Help Thread Ok you guys. Would you mind to spend a moment to describe who and what Raven is? To not be too crass, I haven't heard of this brand, nor know who they are.Raven is a small Texas company specializing in high end tube amps. If you do a search, which... | |
| End of the World system With only 4 years to live the sensible thing is to buy GIK. Then with EQ and REL you can easily make it another 40. | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? Clearly there are those who cannot hear, or do not care, for the improvement quality wire can deliver. These people can save a lot of money. They should be happy. Why then are they so crabby? Could it be because they cannot hear? And spent a lot o... | |
| Another Newbie, Another Help Thread I was thinking of you willgolf but wasn't sure it was you. Now I am. Was already favoring the Reflection MkII even before coming across your comments. Then looking at your experience, what you did then and what you're doing now, that has sealed th... | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? If a power cable changes the sound of the amp perhaps your "Ayre Conditioner power line RFI filter" is faulty.I see. So the conditioner has the magical property of making anything plugged into it sound the same. Power cords no longer matter. Inter... |
