| 60 Hz noise shielding suggestions? Right. Either ground loop hum like Dave says or it could be a fault within the deck itself. Easy way to check, move the deck around. If the hum diminishes with distance then yes you do need shielding. But if not, if you can move the deck a few inc... | |
| SRA or VTA After Cartridge Breakin Well what I meant was I think I have lost some of the higher frequency's, so in that case I should raise the rear of the tonearm correct?Correct. Two very important things to keep in mind. First, and foremost, the closer you get to ideal VTA the m... | |
| Observation: Passion vs Obsession Oh, it’s definitely a creative pursuit. Yes there are audiophiles who are just "consumers buying things". Definitely there are such people. For sure. But we judge by our highest aspirations not whatever random crap might happen along the way. Easi... | |
| Soundsmith Strain Gauge - Thank You! Thanks, that is what I'm hoping for. Comparing moving mass between SG and MC (or even MI) are compelling. So is the timing, and not having to amplify 40+ dB for RIAA. It all makes perfect sense, and when technology aligns with actual listener resu... | |
| Soundsmith Strain Gauge - Thank You! Never done this before, but one of the first things I will do is check the 2 styluses under the microscope. Since they are identical, except for one having a couple hundred hours, it will be a great opportunity to compare and then as time goes by ... | |
| On Hearing and Sensory Adaptation I like to keep a gene sequencing lab nearby and check my Ancestry.com to know just how loud and long is physiologically tolerable for me. Where would we be without genealogy? Stuck listening for pleasure, that's where! Screw human experience! Meas... | |

Another common thing bass is reinforced near walls and so almost always more full and round or even boomy, and gets tighter and more punchy as you move away, so... | |
| Fo.Q Tape under Chord TT2 I had the thin version under my tone arm tube, headshell, and various places around the base. It is inside the motor pod on the circuit board, and caps. There's a lot wrapped around the caps in the crossovers, and close to one full sheet inside th... | |

| SRA or VTA After Cartridge Breakin Yes it changes but which way you go depends. If it sounds better higher go higher. And vice versa. | |
| Soundsmith Strain Gauge - Thank You! Thanks guys. When people reading my posts get triggered, I sometimes wonder if it would make any difference if they knew the research that goes into one of these decisions. Probably not, but I’m gonna tell you anyway. I only really started looking... | |
| Record Mats In Combination With Weights guakus-Do you use the Origin Live Gravity One ? Yes, it came with the Sovereign turntable. For many years before this I have been using my own DIY carbon fiber clamp. You can see it on my system page. It is designed to clamp the record flat to the... | |

If not, nice try and thanks for playing........Never good to go snotty, especially not with me, and definitely not when all it winds up accomplishing is revealing your lack of ... |
