| Isolation Feet for Garrard 301 wood plinth Agreed. 3 feet always sounds better than 4. | |
| Manley Chinook - setting for Ortofon Quintet Black S @tjjunk further down the road you might look at tube rolling something like these into the Chinook. | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? @dogberry The corollary is that perhaps I prefer it tail up to compensate for my declining perception of highs! Try your cartridges at 1.65. IIRC, John Wright told me tracking lies between 1.6 and 2.0 grms—so you're safe. More air, detail, and spe... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? Sorry, I need to correct my senility-infused confusion. Should read "tail slightly up." Much better highs and leading edge snap. I find the Deccas sing at 1.65 grams, tail slightly down. | |
| How many people do you think have the same DAC, amplifier, and speakers imagine the question including analog bits? The answer would always be 1. | |
| Isolation Feet for Garrard 301 wood plinth So this older post came up when researching something else. Amazing how things progress since my 2017 advice quoted below. Forget the cones and pointy bits. Use springs - better soundstage depth and layering. Directly coupled to granite using me... | |

| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? @mikelavigne Don't go! 🙂 One cannot allow blowhards to force capitulation. | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? @mijostyn That's fine by me. But do you really think I'm going to sit there and listen to 4 mistracking cartridges for 35 years? I will admit that I had one in a LP12/Ittok back in the 80s and it did mistrack. Perhaps your impression comes from th... | |
| Dynavector 507 arm lift assembly on a 501 arm Sounds good. Enjoy in good health. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Georgia Brown – Sings Kurt Weill (London 1962) One of my favorites when the recordings were lush and clear as a bell. Recommended. |
