| Testing the Yamamoto HS-4 Carbon Fiber headshell. De gustibus non est disputandum!But not really.There have to be other phenomena at work here. I do not believe the disparity of human physiology can be so diverse that we hear so differently. But not really.Maybe neural density of the brain accoun... | |
| Testing the Yamamoto HS-4 Carbon Fiber headshell. Thanks again @chakster .There are two questions raised in this whole quandary. 1. What is the quality of the sound produced in a system where the damping is such that the music appears to be either bright, lively, detailed, and transparent or soun... | |
| Testing the Yamamoto HS-4 Carbon Fiber headshell. Thanks @chakster and @lewm Yes, I'm aware of the differences. | |

| Ethernet cable vs wifi for high definition audio streaming If you can run on ethernet, make sure you're using a gigabit router. While a direct run is preferable, you can insert a gigabit network switch (not a hub) to "split" the data. | |
| Vinyl “Pops & Clicks” eliminators I should add that, for my own listening pleasure, I'll take the crackle with the additional transparency over suppression/processing. | |
| Vinyl “Pops & Clicks” eliminators I heard the Sweet Vinyl at AXPONA and was suitably impressed. We did AB testing and while I could hear a difference, it was not significant - a very slight veiling when click suppressed. . | |
| Need help with a forced downgrade Get the 1200 - a classic and better resale value. Don't buy until you sell the VPI. You could be left with both. | |
| Is the buyer responsible to cover the cost of a return? The coil assembly may have got knocked out of alignment during shipping. | |
| Need help with a forced downgrade Schiit Sol and Mani. The Pioneer PLX1000 is worth a shot too. | |
| Testing the Yamamoto HS-4 Carbon Fiber headshell. @halcro I wonder if that's why your LDR doesn't sound as good as I think it should. I know I suggested trying it on the DD table instead. Perhaps you could try a before and after clip with the LDR in the Yamo or a metal (Mg) shell. | |
| Testing the Yamamoto HS-4 Carbon Fiber headshell. @halcro I was hoping you'd stop by. I'm baffled. It's not the first time I've had well-reviewed items sound worse than what I already have. I'm certain the leads were correct. I took a photo in case I forgot the orientation. As you know, the Bosto... | |
| Is ground noise really normal? If so, why? Further to what @pragmasi said, ensure there are no routers, cable modems, or Wi-Fi units nearby. Move them with the volume up and note the change in hum levels. | |
| Is ground noise really normal? If so, why? Vinyl roar? Or hum? | |
| Testing the Yamamoto HS-4 Carbon Fiber headshell. @nandric Thanks for the laugh. |
