| Anti skate. I think something's wrong Dear Stringreen, Sorry for misunderstanding you earlier although I did realise that you were also referring to the "source" of the applied A/S force as per Doug Deacon’s frequent eloquence on the subject. DougDeacon, the principal advocate of th... | |

| OK...I've ditched my mono cartridge Yes, it makes perfect sense Halcro but this is of course assuming one has a mono switch ;^) :)Minimalist functionality has its price ;^)(Instead I have a "combiner" box that can be used to sum 2 channels. It's a bit of a hassle hooking it up thoug... | |

I have used the Whest PS0.3r (55db setting, 220 ohm loading) and Lyra Delos combination for several years and find no issues with noise even with the volume cranked up to ear-damaging lev... | |
| Brinkmann turntables Their Direct Drive motors are a work of art (I say this despite being a belt-drive aficionado) and the tables are extremely well made but this quality comes at a price... | |

| Lyra Delos Cartridge Loading Recommendation for Whest PS.30R Mark….BTW I’m both a Delos and PS0.3R user and for years have applied a load setting of 220.
