TWL mod for Rega RB600 arm---help needed
How do you equalize the weight? How exacting are the weight measurements of fishing weights?Wendell 
re-burn in? is there such a thing.
It's an ongoing debate. There is no way to prove the benefits of burn-in. Does the component change or do we adjust to the way it sounds? I believe burn-in is real but can't prove it. I've found that used components that have been off for awhile a... 
Separating BiWire Cables
You'll get full range sound. Insulate the unused pair to avoid a short. 
Has anyone listened to the new Dave Matthews CD?
I have the vinyl and it is very good. I'm not a big DMB fan but enjoy this quite a bit.Wendell 
Santana
Originals are plentiful and cheap. Look for those.Wendell 
What is overkill for Vandersteens?
You will get better performance with both. Listen before you sell one of them.Wendell 
Have You Heard the New Stanley Clarke Trio LP?
I picked up the LP. It sounds wonderful (vinyl a tad noisy) and the music is great. I would love to hear the pure DSD asit should, in theory, best the vinyl.BTW, I ordered through BestBuy.comWendell 
Vandersteen 3a and Spendor sp1/2e's
$1200 is an excellent price for the 3A. It is a good speaker but, if detail is important, I would look elsewhere or keep the Spendors. Good luck.Wendell 
Audio Alchemy DLC
The Creek is a very good option. The DLC is also quite good. I like the Chase because of all it's capabilities even though it is a passive design. I've actually used it as a line stage while my tube pre was away for mods.Wendell 
Audio Alchemy DLC
I don't think he is looking for more gain. He wants remote control capability of what he already has. The DLC or RLC-1will both do that.Wendell 
Audio Alchemy DLC
Find a Chase RLC-1 to add remote control to your system. Cheaper, more flexible, more functionality and more transparent than the DLC. I've owned both.Wendell 
Audioquest vs Hunt EDA Mk6 record brushes
I use both the Audioquest and Acoustech. I find both superior to the Hunt. You don't need to use your RCM before every play. Clean it properly and a light brushing is all that is needed for a long time. 
MintLP arc protractor
Polk432, "The mint LP will be more accurate. It is worth the money."Perhaps true but not the question of my original post. Yip is insistent on the correct spindle to pivot distance and I want to be certain that I've measured 222mm correctly before... 
MintLP arc protractor
I'm trading emails with Yip at the present time. I can only be so confident in my measurements. Even if off by a mm I assume that adjustment in the headshell slots and whatever minor movement is available with the VPI armboard should be enough to ... 
What would happen if we had convenient turntables
Mechans, "I sit nervously until the last track then I stand up to catch the arm."What is the fear? It sits in the runout groove until you lift the arm.Wendell
