Removing Morch DP-6 tonearm wires from cartridge
Your suggestion sounds like an excellent one, Stringreen. Thank you for the tip!Holly 
Removing Morch DP-6 tonearm wires from cartridge
lol - not sure that I will do the yanking part, but I will do my best to be calm about the whole thing. At least I can remove the arm tube from the tonearm pivot so I can work on the cartridge without it being installed on the turntable - makes it... 
Removing Morch DP-6 tonearm wires from cartridge
As one of the two or three women in this world that do not wear nail polish, that won't work for me; I was thinking a dot of acrylic paint might work, but using Sharpies is even easier - I actually have them in all of the necessary colors, too.I h... 
Removing Morch DP-6 tonearm wires from cartridge
I will be very careful removing the wires; they are very fragile and I definitely cannot afford to have the tonearm rewired because I was careless - well, I can't afford to have the tonearm rewired, period, given the prices quoted by you, Rodrigaj... 
Removing Morch DP-6 tonearm wires from cartridge
lol - thank you sir! I knew they were for color coding, but I thought perhaps they also did....what??? No idea. I am sure Mehran would charge a pretty penny for this, if it is even something that he can do, or have done. Since it is just a matter ... 
Interconnect cable
I don't think there are any monsters, Kacz, just a very absent minded woman, apparently. Things don't usually disappear around here. Really! I lay them down and find them months later. (Slight exaggeration.) I'm quite sure that it didn't fall into... 
Cain & Cain Abby footer spikes?
No need to apologize - I was actually impressed that you saw and remembered the stand "name" as being 3 initials beginning with an "H." Good to hear that Andy is still in business! I don't know why I couldn't find his website - perhaps I misspelle... 
Interconnect cable
What, your dryer eats socks, too, John?!? lol Yes, I can't believe I can't find the darn cable, either. I have actually been doing some major cleaning in the last couple of months, found lots of hidden things - found some treasures and some unknow... 
Cain & Cain Abby footer spikes?
Thank you all for your responses! It would appear that the spikes are necessary. Once I have had time to really listen to my system and learn its sound, I may experiment with the speakers flat footed vs on some sort of footer to see if my ears can... 
More turntable set up problems
Yeah, I wish I knew "how the hell" I did that, too! I have used a piece of Magic Eraser to clean the stylus, but that was back when I was using the turntable and all was well when I turned it off the last time. I also used Zero Dust for the first ... 
More turntable set up problems
Don't know how that "L" snuck in - Mofimadness, not Molfimadness! (Sorry, couldn't figure out how to edit after I submitted my post.) 
More turntable set up problems
Please don't take my Audiophile club card away! OK, so I am perhaps more of a wanna-be audiophile, but still.... I will not be neglecting this system again; wasted about 7 years (wow, how time flies!) when I could have been listening to music!Just... 
Goodbye Pete Seeger
I just heard this. Still crying. He will be missed; thankfully, we will still have samples of his music.Holly 
More turntable set up problems
I, too, am very happy that the source of the problem has been found, though I am very sorry that it was apparently due to me being careless with the cartridge/stylus at some point. Talk about being fumble-fingered..... :-(I am indeed very thankful... 
More turntable set up problems
Well, it has been a while. Mofimadness came down this weekend and did some trouble shooting to see what the cause of the poor sound was. He said from the beginning that the only way a mistake in set up could cause the sound we were hearing was if ...
