A must watch YouTube video on stylus in the groove!!!
Word salad to you. And that is your lack of understanding and vision. And dont send me a stupid private message like the one you sent in early March. You draw a blank. TomSo you admit you didn't watch the video, didn't listen to even one single wo...

Yeah. Link. Please. 
A must watch YouTube video on stylus in the groove!!!
Let me guess- you watched precisely.... zero seconds of that video. You have absolutely zero idea what he said. Zero comprehension, for sure.How many phono cartridges have you built, theaudiotweak? Zero?How many years experience rebuilding phono c... 
VPI Classic setup tools
It really does not matter at all what you have. The setup for all is exactly the same:Overhang, VTA, VTF, and VTA.Adjusting one always affects the others. Not a lot, but enough so its not just one and done. The preferred approach is to set them on... 
Different Tubes and general purpose?
Another hack:But, Miller is blathering about his favorite fuse vendor. Blather? That’ll be the day. Point out the blather. If you can. If not then guess what? You are the one blathering.I won’t argue whether a fuse can make a [slight] difference o... 
Different Tubes and general purpose?
Didn't dismiss. Didn't gush. Merely pointed out, quite correctly, where each is on the spectrum of performance options.When you have to resort to misrepresenting (ie, lying about) the other fellow you know for sure you have lost.

Link? Because pasting Google Applied Science LP into youtube gives the same electron microscope video as 4 years ago and its not motion.Anyway, the phenomenon you think requires rethinking is called jitter. Bear with the slow intro, its as fascina... 
Different Tubes and general purpose?
gunners01-Thanks millercarbon.  I ask as I’ve read plenty of articles about how there was notable, not step change, improvement in overall sound quality.   I get that that a lot audiophile purchases can either be snake oil or nearly inaudible chan... 
Need advice with Koetsu Black Goldline
I have one. Fabulous cartridge. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367Lower the cart down onto a stationary record. Look real close at the space between the cart and the record. It should be just about perfectly parallel. If not, you're just go... 
New System for a greenhorn audiophile
Totally doable, and with surprisingly good results if done right. Doing it right within that budget calls for being careful to budget for everything, and not cut corners. In other words you don't get to keep the freebie rubber power cord and plast... 
Subwoofer insight.
I don’t listen to any music that has bass any where near 20hz, let alone below 20hz.These low frequencies are inherent in the acoustic resonance of large spaces. Therefore present in all music that is well recorded in a large space. Its not "music... 
Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music?
OP must have missed the very first post. Tim and I are on the same page. In fact we have almost identical subs. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 Main difference is I built mine, with help from him and Duke, while he bought Duke's Swarm. A... 
I Need Some Opinions...
Hi dmac67, Please take a look at my system and read the description to be assured of the quality of the following advice. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 Starting with a Technics table way below your Pro-Ject we have gained experience to... 
Different Tubes and general purpose?
Saying "upgrade" does not make it upgrade. Changing tubes is not upgrading anything. Differences between tubes are slight or subtle at best. Someone here will jump on this so have to say yes there are differences. In the big scheme of things thoug... 
Poor internet, streaming not possible
There really is only one speed that matters: 33 1/3.
