| National Record Store Day is Saturday April 18th Unfortunately I missed it!! :(I travelled a considerable distance to be at a wedding in London on the 18th.Who schedules weddings on RSD????It doesn't make any sense.... ;^) | |
| Which Allen key for Graham Phantom II Supreme? Beat me to it Peter. Yes it is 50 thou.Bob supplies a full set of these things in individually labelled re-sealable bags. This one is labelled "Cueing Device - Adjustable Height Wrench"The 50 thou is quite small and not easy to find locally. They'... | |
| Your favorite LP nobody has ever heard of "Shadowfax", A Windham-Hill half-speed master.Also Michael Hedges "Aerial Boundaries", half-speed master from the same stable."Shadowfax" was purchased new at the time of release but "Aerial Boundaries" was only available to me as a tape copy unti... | |
| Solid core phono interconnect - Recommend Please Additional thought : one of my longstanding bugbears concerns the mechanical contribution of the phono cable.Linn LP12 is a good example in that the "dressing" & clamping of the (fairly stiff) arm cable was arguably the most important aspect o... | |
| Solid core phono interconnect - Recommend Please Pani, before you commit, a final suggestion.My solution to the capacitance issue was to disregard the standard 1 metre lengths of low-C cable and get a custom made 0.5m cable. I called upon the services of Johnny7 at Audio Origami to make it.(I st... | |
| Fozgometer This seems like a handy device (and made in the US). I considered buying one a few years ago :http://www.kabusa.com/canceler.htmLooks more trouble-free than the Foz (no lights, you judge the sound minimum)?It is bound to have its critics too I am ... | |
| Fozgometer I seem to remember the Fozgometer being somewhat discredited by users in general, the inference being it was only dependable in 2 out of 3 cases(?). If you prefer measurement perhaps a better option would be to wait for one of these :http://sound-... | |
| For VPI Unipivot Owners, do you use antiskating? Thank's Doug. ;^)Kind regards, | |
| For VPI Unipivot Owners, do you use antiskating? Dear Stringreen,You must have missed this bit :"If AS is wrong then the cart will tend to ride up the slope of either channel. This is tantamount to a sort of channel-specific incorrect VTF, even if it is not blatantly mistracking.You will hear L-... | |
| cartridge demagnetization It's conceivable that some of our contributors, in their long careers, may have, at some point, blown up some dark matter. ;^) | |
| For VPI Unipivot Owners, do you use antiskating? Dear Adeep,You should try AS. It seems an obvious thing to say but before tinkering with AS try to get the platter as 100% level as possible in all axes.With some suspended tables this is easier said than done. I've seen suspended tables visibly t... | |
| cartridge demagnetization Thanks for the constructive comment, Intactaudio.I was looking for a word that described the properties of "soft" material but turns out paramagnetic wasn't it ;^)Cheers, | |
| cartridge demagnetization I should mention for the benefit of anyone who's just tuned in to the demag argument that Lyra carts such as the Delos use a paramagnetic grade of iron for the coil formers, i.e. will "conduct" magnetism but resist storing it, so residual magnetis... | |
| cartridge demagnetization Shorting the MC outputs to GND as recommended by J.Carr (as demonstrated on YouTube) would yield the strongest current i.e. maximising magnetic flux, which is proportional to current.This would produce the strongest and most "coercive" effect whil... | |
| Quiet Introduction of the Magnepan 1.7i Mitch, I couldn't agree more....and good manufacturers deserve success.The only downside for me is that I'm ineligible because I'm in the UK :( |
