| Invert ? While it is very common to call this "phase" inversion, calling it polarity inversion makes more sense to me but, that is a minor point. The first thing to be aware of is that not everyone is sensitive to "absolute" polarity inversion which is, bo... | |
| cleaning gritty surface noise on LPs ghdprentice, Better be careful, when my hair stylus found out about my cartridge stylist, all hell broke loose! 😁 | |
| Cartridge suggestions for my rig Thank you to everyone who has replied. @hsounds Special thanks to you for reminding me about Wally Tools. I was aware of them in general but, had never really looked closely until now. After watching many of their videos, I am now planning to d... | |
| Any point in upgrading stock cables for a LPS? Absolutely, yes. On my 5v LHY LPS for my Node 2. The sound signature of various brands of cords is discernable. I can easily hear the difference between two cords that are the same cord (the no longer available Cable Pro Vitality) but, each of th... | |
| Platter mats for a Rega Planar 2 Check out the Herbie's Audio mat. | |
| Power cords known to produce good bass @jumia Yes, I did do the re-terminating myself. Before I continue, in all fairness, the term "el cheapo" I used to describe the cord ends that Transparent uses was a poor choice of words. Their cord ends are not poor quality products. It's that on... | |
| Power cords known to produce good bass @jumia Due to my inadequate explanation, you have misunderstood which cables I'm wanting to improve. The cables that are the issue are the ones made with the Acrolink 7NP4030 II wire. I am a big fan of Transparent Audio cables largely because of t... | |

| Preamp Advice/experiences needed I have a Calypso Eclipse. I won't touch a lot on the sound quality side but, it's very satisfying to me. First, taking a logic, practicality, common sense view, it has several features that are major reasons why I have it. It has a large easy to s... | |
| Unscrupulous ebay buyers There are scams galore out there. He might be keeping the good one that you sent and sending back a bad one that he already had. | |
| Cartridge position on headshell . . . Looking at images of your tonearm and your description of the lack of space between the back of the cartridge and the wiring leads reminds me of the big headache with most Linn tonearms. Small head shell. Some cartridges are just too big to fit on... | |
| A public service announcement Another "ARP" alcohol related purchase. | |
| Occasional Sound Imbalance Issue I'll start by saying that there are plenty people here that are smarter than me so, feel free to tell me that I'm way off course here. What is there that definitely changes when the system is powered down for 12 hours? Heat. The heat build up in t... | |
| Has anyone used Smart Imports of Japan? Yes, I have bought many sets of Oyaide power cord ends from them. Completely legit, no worries. | |
| Best Power Cable Component Hierarchy In my opinion, what cord should go where, is more about finding the best synergy than about any particular formula. I say that power cords usually are component dependent. The sensitivity of a component to different power cords is variable in my e... |
