Why not use a non-contact stylus on a turntable?
Thanks the nano bots was a great idea.The first generation we built were designed to build the second generation. The second generation built the first generation of road work nanobots. The road workers run around gathering up any loose material t... 
Current amp setup for secondary listening room
Stands let you place the speakers out away from walls and the reflections that ruin imaging. Which matters when you're sitting down really listening from the sweet spot. But its a whole lot less important when you're not, especially if you move ar... 
Rega RB250 Tonearm Upgrade Options/Opinions
Don't know about your pivot to spindle distance, but if there's an Origin Live within budget you might want to check it out. Been real pleased with my Conqueror for many years now. Massively better than the Graham 2.0 it replaced. Whole other real... 
Why do cartridge manufacturers give a range for VTF?
Most people think of VTF in terms of stylus force. Because that's what they see, that's what wears, that's where all the action is, that must be what it's all about, right?Wrong. Really VTF is all about what is going on at the other end of the can...

Maybe a writing class? 
Why not use a non-contact stylus on a turntable?
Okay Greg, outside the box. Tell us all about your rare lubricating gas. 
Why not use a non-contact stylus on a turntable?
Now that that's settled can we get on to the serious question of magnetically levitating and driving the platter? 
What Makes a Difference?
No piece of equipment or digital format trumps a brilliantly recorded/mastered session. I have been saying this for years. But for some reason every time I try and prove it people take the ear buds out hand me the iPod back and tell me I’m nuts. 
How to Choose Speakers Appropriate for My Amp
Sweet pair of amps you got there Andy. Not often I see "300B" and "entry level" together, not to mention B&O! Bit of an eclectic system for sure, but so what? From what I've been able to gather the MOSCODE is a bit of a question mark (some thi... 
What Makes a Difference?
Okay. But why? Surely you have a turntable? 
Can someone help me decide between an amp and an integrated amp?
