| Are you using anti-skating or not It depends on the table and arm (and cartridge, too, probably).I have a Well-Tempered table and arm with a Van den Hul Frog cartridge and don't use any anti-skating force.I've, also, had the table set-up by two different dealers who didn't use any... | |
| 10 Levels of Turntable Mastery I like Atmasphere's 12/16 post's listing of TLMs 10, 9 and 8.IMHO, a TLM 7 would be someone who can set-up less difficult tables and who can hear when things are "right". Probably, can set azimuth and VTA by ear.I'm about a 7, I guess.Below that, ... | |

| Is music quality moving away from the "audiophile" Per Synthfreek, just to clarify, I was referring to data compression.Also, I'm in complete agreement with Bongofury.And, maybe, Metralla is right about CDs. I dunno. I've never expected much from them to begin with and have always listened mainly ... | |
| Is music quality moving away from the "audiophile" Yes. Sound engineers are quite adept at "gumming up" the sound with "compression and over-amplification and fake digital reverb and all the other favorite tricks".Still, while compression certainly does degrade the sonic quality of what is put dow... | |
| Is music quality moving away from the "audiophile" Compression is the future. It's potential, unlimited. This is unavoidable and, ultimately, not incompatible with musicality. Early CDs sucked. But, technology improves. . .It is no different with compression. Engineers look forwards, not backwards... | |
| preamp output impedance - could it be too low ? I would try to follow the "eight to one" rule and mate it with an amp with a VERY low input impedance. But, I don't know of any amps with a 4k to 5k input impedance.Nonetheless, a low input impedance will allow your preamp to be "a good performer ... | |
| Weights on top of equipment to dampen vibration Walker Audio Resonance Control Discs work well. Also, Marigo Audio Lab's Black 6mm VTS Tuning Dots--although they don't, actually, go on top of the component--are effective at dampening resonances. Small pieces of granite glued to wood (and not ne... | |
| Gallo 3.1 owners IMHO, no. | |
| Quality Cheater plug?? You, probably, are getting a ground loop through the outlet.You might try plugging into an outlet on a different circuit, that could solve your problem.Or, conversely, you could unplug each thing in the house on that same circuit, one by one, and ... | |

| How Do You Organize Your Music? Bibliomantically. Subsequent to listening, I toss each record like a yarrow stick and place it in whichever of my eight different piles it lands nearest. Naturally, each record is, itself, determined to be in one of eight different categories, acc... | |
| turntable issue - faint hum on one channel I would first try redressing the cables. My 'table will do the same exact thing, sometimes.Then, try running an additional ground wire from a non-moving metal part of the tonearm to your ground at the preamp. That's worked for me, before, too.I th... |
