| Goldmund Studio/T3 with Helikon cartridge The Shure SFG has a one piece balance beam made of stainless steel, a sliding steel weight, and a plastic body. There are two engraved grooves at one end of the balance beam. The stylus is placed in one of these grooves depending on your measurmen... | |
| Vinyl Reason Thank you Zaikesman! (Good grief!) | |
| Goldmund Studio/T3 with Helikon cartridge Willster: Even if it weren't for the magnetically induced error of the Shure gauge, it doesn't provide the kind of accuracy I think you will want with your arm/cartridge if you want to achieve the best results. I have two recommendations:There are... | |
| Goldmund Studio/T3 with Helikon cartridge Aha!! A lot of folks don't know this but:Shure tracking force gauges are made with stainless steel and cant't be used with MC cartridges! The large magnets in MC cartridges throw off the reading by a gram or more depending on the cartridge. (The m... | |
| Vinyl Reason According to the latest on String Theory, in a segment on PBS Science Friday, the vibrational energy produced by strings is "musical," in that they follow certain rules of harmonics (admittedly, no one has actually heard one!) but it's looking goo... | |

| Mark Levinson 26 pre amp Re: ML 20.6 amplifier. It is a fully Class A mono amp putting out 100 W. The 20.5 is also a 100 watt unit , but I think it runs Class A-B, like the 23.5.A really good non-commercial ML website is: www.marklev.com | |
| Mark Levinson 26 pre amp A1126lin: You don't want a 20.0, or a 20.6. You want a pair of 20.5's.The 23.5 has XLR's and Camac/RCA (the Camacs were replaced with RCA's in the later production runs.) It can also be bridged (400W into 8 ohms)I'd love to have a pair of bridged ... | |
| Mark Levinson 26 pre amp A1126lin: The 380s is a great preamp and it has remote volume which is a really nice feature BUT there's something about that mid-90's Levinson/Madrigal gear that has never been surpassed sonically (except for the Cello gear produced at about the ... | |
