| Tonearms With Horizontal Cable Exit I stand corrected. It has been awhile since I owned an EPA-100. | |
| Tonearms With Horizontal Cable Exit Technics EPA Series arms do, but they are also way different from other tonearms because the hole to mount them is extremely large. | |
| Feedback blew my phono stage? I had a somewhat similar problem when running a prototype drive for a strain gauge cartridge. I unexpectedly blew out a tube in my linestage. The root of the problem was poor grounding in one of the prototype's RCA connectors that caused hum. I do... | |
| Phono cables/philosphy ? Unfortunately, the link doesn't go directly to the download because the owner's site is somewhat screwy. You will need to go to the bottom of their download page to get it. I am not at all affiliated with that company, but I thought the white pape... | |

| Phono cables/philosphy ? I found a paper online awhile back that puts all this into easily understood terms. The good part is that it explains series inductance and skin effect in a way that anyone can follow. It is somewhat of a primer to understanding how wire works.Her... | |
| Earliest serial Garrard 301 Hammertone known? I know someone who has one with an even earlier number. I believe it is #501. I'll ask. Maybe he can provide a photo. | |
| Tonearm selection is not easy I believe I would go with the Graham because its interchangeable wand setup allows for more flexibility, if the need ever arises. On-the-fly VTA is also very nice to have. Additionally, the arm has the same mounting specification as all other Grah... | |
| The Blue Angel Mantis cartridge Point taken, but esoteric brands should be supported for audio to advance. Innovative buyers who take the chances are the guys who turn the little brands into the big brands. Ideas aren't born just at Fortune 500 companies, you know? High-end audi... | |
| The Blue Angel Mantis cartridge Hmm...Sometimes things in audio tend to get political. That's unfortunate. | |
| Does mfg's name/model affect your opinion of sound So, startup company "A" designs and builds a preamp that exceeds all expectations. In fact, it practically becomes an instant legend. Over the years, the company produces a dozen other preamp models. By now, the first preamp has become a verified ... | |
| Makeshift tonearm for under $800 The Jelco is competent enough that Ortofon used the company to build their current line of tonearms. Historically, many makers have used Jeloc as their OEM vendor. This includes Koetsu, Grado, Linn and others. Plus, I believe you can get a decent ... | |
| The Blue Angel Mantis cartridge Anytime we talk about cartridges, things tend to get extremely subjective. I suppose that's because we aren't exposed to everything out there, and also because we hear things differently. I mention it because qualifiers are always needed when disc... | |
| Unipivot tonearms less forgiving of Vinyl quality? Recently, I mentioned some math that Mark Kelly did concerning unipivot tonearms. My take from all that is that a unipivot can be less forgiving, if it is designed carelessly. The reason is because of physics that apply specifically to unipivots a... | |
| Rabco SL-8E Tone Arm Nandric, The short of it is that the mass and placement of the counterweight of a unipivot tonearm has more importance than just VTF adjustment. It also significantly affects the lateral motion of the armwand. |
