| Tonearm musings I had that Graham, it was my first arm. It was upgraded with the heavier weight pivot cap and I was using it with some Synergistic Research phono leads custom made for me by Ted Denney. Had this arm about a dozen years and it is a real nice arm bu... | |
| Telling musicians to evaluate and choose their instruments in a “scientific” way? Another marvelous video, craftsman walking a stand of very special trees high in a mountain forest. He thumps on each one and you hear a unique sound, like so much different than any tree trunk you ever thumped you cannot believe it. Walks along t... | |
| what's going on with specs? Measurebator, a classic from Chuck I won’t soon forget Nor will a certain triggered prude who can’t take a joke. Probably reminds him a little too much of himself. https://youtu.be/8QOQEYA9YJo?t=8 | |
| Audiophile-grade ground rod? Millercarbon’s first post might sound like a joke (and I assume that was the intention), but there’s an element of truth to it. Ground rods in dry, low quality soil (common conditions) are not ideal. You want a low impedance path to ground and... | |
| Tonearm adjustments on the fly Erudition elevated. Check. Thanks! | |
| record cleaning methods...................... The best record cleaning method is to research record cleaning methods until the heat death of the universe. This thread is only 5 years old, nowhere near long enough to even begin to think about actually cleaning a record. | |

| Telling musicians to evaluate and choose their instruments in a “scientific” way? There is a terrific movie, The Red Violin. Fabulous movie. With a scene that makes this point in the most poignant way I can imagine. The Red Violin is a sort of Stradivarius among Stradivariuses. The movie follows the life of this violin as it pa... | |
| How Do You Learn? We learn music in different areas of the brain than other language skills. Do we therefore learn to hear differences in the reproduction of musical sounds in a similar way? I have no idea. This is also different from what the OP intended, b... | |
| what's going on with specs? The First Audiophile Commandment is Know Thyself. What you need to know is, are you an audiophile? Or a measurebator? Audiophiles love the way music sounds. Measurebators love the way numbers look. Figure this one out and everything else falls ... | |
| Room rearrangement. Cable question Balanced is for pro use where "long" is 200 to 300 METERS. 20ft is not "long". It is however long in terms of you will never buy quality speaker cables that long. You will cheap out - everyone does - and this one thing alone will erase a lot of wh... |
