| Ground wire not being used There's apparently a duplication of ground paths (ground loop.) When you have the ground wire tied to your TT/arm (which is the norm) and the ground pins of the cartridge are also tied to your TT or tonearm (not normal) that equals two ground path... | |

| Best 6550 regardless of price Guidocorona, I think you mean "Sovtek" and you are right!The Svetlanas to get are the ones made in St. Petersburg, and are generally identified as such by the retailer. | |

| Cartridge Break-In Onhwy61, what kind of cartridge is yours? I ask, because if it's a MC, then 47K ohms is WAY too high a loading and will give you "tipped up in the treble and the bass is uneven" no matter how long you break it in.A good rule of thumb (starting poi... | |
| BEST TONEARM CABLE PURIST VENUSTUS GRAHAM IC 70 Speedy, you're right, I don't think I've read anything about the IC-70? The IC-50, yes, but not the 70.

| BEST TONEARM CABLE PURIST VENUSTUS GRAHAM IC 70 Speedy,If everything's right with the arm/tt setup, then the Venustas should give you flat response top to bottom. If it doesn't, then it may be you need to adjust the cartridge loading in the phono preamp to a slightly lower value, to compensate ... | |
| Cartridge Break-In I enjoyed reading some of your proposed alternatives, especially the one about the subwoofer ;~) I think the best way is still playing records as Steve said. However, you can break in a cartridge while you're away by using the Cardas sweep/burn in... | |
| BEST TONEARM CABLE PURIST VENUSTUS GRAHAM IC 70 Speedy,Either DIN termination is electrically identical. The choice of rt. angle vs. straight DIN connector is purely a function of your tonearm configuration and/or how the cable has to exit the turntable itself -- as you indicated ("the ninety d... | |
