| Funny Story No kidding. I dropped a 90 pound TVA1 amp during a move. It hit the pine flooring corner down and penetrated the floor. | |
| WTF? Probably a "bounce" in the website/database code caused by a spam-checking filter, a scan hit from the anti malware engine, or a packet drop etc. | |
| SUT's -Looking for one with some meat on the bones You could try a few cheap fixes. Tube roll your phono stage.Add a DIY felt ring around the dome on the tweeters.Solid core speaker cables.Drop your tonearm a fraction. | |
| ART7 vs. ART9 vs. OC9X-series vs. Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC Star Note that the Soundsmith comes in a new more attractive housing. The old series were fugly. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? This Mortal Coil - Filigree and Shadow (4AD 1986) The best of avant garde 80s music. They really did believe the multi-channel polyphonic synth would change the world. Classic. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Hawkwind - Sonic Attack (RCA 1981) Bought it when it was released. Holographic sound. Turn it up! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Roosevelt Sykes - Blue and Ribald, A Dirty Mother For You. (Southland 1972)Tony T.S. McPhee - Two Sides of (WWA 1973) The blues side. I've never played the electronic side! | |

| Testing the Yamamoto HS-4 Carbon Fiber headshell. Well the question than is how the same object can ''have'' and ''not have'' the same proporties? Schrödinger's headshell? | |
| Turntable for a Newbie! Pioneer PLX1000 with a Nagaoka MP150 is my standard recommendation at this price point. Upgrading the cartridge ’down the road’ to a MP500 will yield results. You might also look at a Technics SL1200GR if you want to invest a little more. Resale s... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Still following with interest. I'm trying to find time to listen on my digital rig. Will try for tonight. @halcro I have not forgot the headshell issue 😉 | |
| Testing the Yamamoto HS-4 Carbon Fiber headshell. ’Not really’ means that taste and cultural preferences are not relevant to the actual sound quality. I am rejecting that as a factor in the equation. My hypothesis is thus: Unless there are physiological and/or psycho-acoustic reasons, the quality... | |
| Testing the Yamamoto HS-4 Carbon Fiber headshell. @nandric Not sure what cultural and musical preferences have to do with sound perception especially in relation to others on this thread.Truth and value statements may seem at odds with each other but what is the truth here? Is the headshell truly... |
