| New 55,000 Euro tonearm To me there is so many variables to make a great tonearm. As you all say there is external vibrations finding it's way up to the tonearm, and there is bearing chatter in the tonearm and probably other unwanted resonances and at the end of the wan... | |

| New 55,000 Euro tonearm Not that I have experienced that tonearm or will ever be able to hear it in my system. But as I understand it it one of its job is to isolate and damping the vibrations from reaching the cartridge and therefore the cartridge will pick up the w... | |

| How best to eliminate LP warps Yeh adjusting azimuth ..is something that takes some time to realize how many factors there is.. For example you can dive into the rabbit hole and use for example a azimuth fozgometer or like I did with a digital oscilloscope. There is many ways... | |
| How best to eliminate LP warps Yes, you are right that there is "different" types of warps and severity of them. The point is to get a better understanding of the material and how it works/act and flattening is not always the end goal and the assumption that we are done and al... | |
| How best to eliminate LP warps @lewm I think the premise behind flattening the LP by heat and pressure is the hope that the LP WILL return to its original flat shape, that the stretching represented by a warp, if it is indeed stretching, will be eliminated by a corresponding... | |
| How best to eliminate LP warps @tablejockey What’s surprising is how resilient the LP is. Amazing the LP grooves maintain integrity with all the deformation(is that even a word?) going on. No it is actually not, a wrapped record is stretched but all is depending on how... | |

| How best to eliminate LP warps Good consensus when i wrote 50°C that were in the dial of the oven and don't need be the real temperature.. But yes time is on your side. | |
| How best to eliminate LP warps I use two pizza stones. And put the record in-between. You can probably use glas also. But use uven instead of sun. The sun is unregulated.. Then you have two factors to adjust. Time and temperature. Start with 40°C and if nothing is happening t... | |
| Turntable noobie...what advice do you have? Arg.. I hate when I write on my phone and I loose a good post.. Anyway here is the short version. To get the full performance from the line contact stylus that you have bought, both on clean or dirty records 😜 then fix SRA/VTA setup. Those that... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. That is what really bugs me. If something measures so poorly, wouldn't you want to correlate the measurements with what you hear? Do people still buy gear on measurements alone? I learned that can be a big mistake. I just don't get it, never have... | |
| The Law of Accelerating Returns @helmholtzsoul I clerified the simplified short version. We are on the same page. It is not the "ONLY" way to tune a room completely. Is it not better to NOT push power into frequencies that the room gets excited about because its dimensions and... | |
| The Law of Accelerating Returns @mahgister Helmholtz treatment "only" work on ONE frequency and to bring down a peak in that very specific frequency and nothing more or less. So you had 100 bulky Helmholtz devices around your room probably not that bulky when you have 100 ... |
