| Tips on soldering Deltron Banan plugs You're going to need to develop better soldering technique. Solder is not glue. To properly solder something so large you'll need a 100 watt gun, not an iron. Insert the cable into the connector, heat the connector sufficiently and the solder w... | |
| Cartridge for Rega Planar 3? Having owned all the Rega MMs over the years (Bias, Elys, Exact), they are all distinctly underwhelming performers. While Rega makes a hell of a tonearm and turntable, their cartridges are lacking IMO. | |
| David Berning preamp..looking for suggestions lewm,The EA-230 (great amp, btw) was the last Berning amplifier to use a linear power supply, so hearing switching noise from it would be impossible. Every amp and preamp thereafter used SMPSs (we're talking the 1980's here, just to give you an i... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? reubent,Yup, that's the one (direct to disk version). Enjoy. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Should you ever come across the 45RPM 12" single of 'Cannonball' from Brother Where You Bound, jump all over it. Amazing sonics. | |
| Lansche speakers. Your impressions. I've spent many an hour listening to Lansche 7.0 driven by a pair of Ypsilon monoblocks and have to say it's some of the finest sound I've ever heard - big, effortless, dynamic and lifelike. If I had the cash and the room, they would be at the to... | |

| Best Pink Floyd recording CD or LP Czarivey,Try out a first pressing UK Quad version of DSOTM. Your hierarchy will change. | |
| Berning TF-10 to TF-12. anyone do that? Even at the lowest volume setting (79), the preamp doesn't completely mute. Nothing is wrong with your unit. To completely mute the unit, there is a mute button on the remote, but not on the front panel (mute will engage the small dots at the bo... | |
| Should I upgrade my phono linestage first or the tonearm for better results? " I have just ordered a Mint LP protractor kit, it is arriving next week. I am looking forward to more precise alignment than the DB protractor I currently use."I think you'll be more than pleased with this purchase, and this may end your desire... | |
| Cartridge Alignment Try this free arc protractor: http://conradhoffman.com/chsw.htm. All you need is the effective length of your tonearm, and the generator will make an arc protractor for Baerwald, Loefgren or Stephenson measurements. Be certain you print it with... | |
| Cartridge Alignment I'd try using an arc protractor - much more accurate. | |
| Advice on Phono Cartridge IIRC, the Akito has a rather short headshell which makes it difficult to impossible to mount some cartridges. Linn carts from back in the day (Karma, Asaka, Troika) all had the same small dimensions thereby almost necessitating the use of thei... | |
| Redpoint TT I own a Galibier, and I believe the bearing design is quite similar. Marvel Mystery Oil is the bearing lubricant on my deck. |
