| Nenuphar, 50,000 mile tuneup Going from stock mains cables to Triode Wire Labs mains cables was shockingly stark in how much improvement occurred instantaneously. I am a believer in spending money on cables. My kids an engineer. He assures me that this is just my imaginatio... | |

| is the sound of vinyl due to the physical process of the turntable? Geoffkait,I agree! The information is on the silver disc, extracting it is the issue. I recently sold my 47 Labs 4735 CD player with their non over sampling, non filtering dac. It was a great CD player and produced an impressive musicality but sti... | |
| is the sound of vinyl due to the physical process of the turntable? This explanation occurred to me back in the 80s when I first heard digital. It mimics Theo's explanation.Sound is a physical vibratory phenomena.Analog technology captures and replays vibration as vibration all within the vibratory realm. It is no... | |
| Lower end Soundsmith cartridges vs others in same price range? Jeff Day is currently using a Soundsmith Carmen on a vintage Thorens with a Thomas Schlick arm. This is quite an endorsement. His review of the Carmen and Zepher high output are very good. You can find them on Positive Feedback. Good time to buy a... | |
| $2500 Phono Stage Suggestions I have a Sutherland 20/20. It's my fourth phono stage and I don't see a further upgrade in my future. I'm using it in a system where it would be the electronic weak link. No such worries.Its a very impressive performer. | |

| Cartridge azimuth adjustment using a voltmeter and a test lp Didn't intend to infer only or best. Easier maybe. | |
| Cartridge azimuth adjustment using a voltmeter and a test lp I’m just saying it works. And it works brilliantly. Its not my technique. It came from Durand tonearms who build the Talea. I believe that finding that point of optimal performance using this method is another way of achieving minimal crosstalk.Bu... | |
| Cartridge azimuth adjustment using a voltmeter and a test lp I find that all of the cartridge adjustments need to be optimized for the cartridge to truly express its potential. This is no less true of azimuth than any other parameter, including antiskate. I thought my cartridge was doing great when it was v... |
