| Set up for Rockport Aviors I will follow this thread closely. I love my Avalon Eidolon Diamonds but I have been wanting to hear the Aviors for some time. I'm crossing my fingers they (or other Rockports) will be at RMAF 2014, as I will be going. My room is similar to yours:... | |
| Audio Additives vs Acoustic Sounds Digital Scale Dinster, can you help me understand why taring or zeroing isn't necessary? I get two distinct different readings when zeroing and nor zeroing. One would think if it didn't matter then whether you zeroed or not you would get the same reading when t... | |
| Help me not let this happen again Viridian - that is a GREAT thread! I would love for that Soundsmith test record to come out with that proper anti-skate track Peter is talking about. | |
| Audio Additives vs Acoustic Sounds Digital Scale Don thanks for the reply and info about the A/V Solutions site and the Ortofon DS-1. Unfortunately the DS-1 is only sensitive to 0.1g and the newer DS-3 is sensitive to 0.01 g. All our ears are different, but I can definitely hear changes in 0.05g... | |
| Audio Additives vs Acoustic Sounds Digital Scale It's interesting but I checked the AcousTech too after some answers to this thread. It is indeed non-magnetic when tested with a magnet both on the case and the scale platform. Weird how with my Dyna carts when having the cart body hovering over t... | |
| Audio Additives vs Acoustic Sounds Digital Scale Thanks for the link Christian, I just ordered one today. I'm ready to quit guessing on my actual VTF, even if my digital force gauge gets close. The deflection of -0.40 to -0.50 prior to lowering the cart bothers me . Some say it doesn't matter, o... | |
| Help me not let this happen again Unfortunately if didn't take pics of the stylus before shipping it back as part of a trade in for my XV-1t. But looking at both the XV-1s and XV-1t stylus prior to shipping, they looked virtually identical and I could nit detect uneven wear in the... | |
| Help me not let this happen again Others were just so w of my local audiophile friends I respect and find them quite knowledgable. But not infallible. No one is!Interestingly, under a digital microscope, my stylus looks almost brand new. Very little wear. | |
| Audio Additives vs Acoustic Sounds Digital Scale rhljazz - thanks for the info! | |
| Audio Additives vs Acoustic Sounds Digital Scale Thanks for the info Yogiboy but these scales that are magnetic are well described and actually the scale platform is metal enough to have a magnetic attraction towards the magnets in the cart. This causes a negative deflection in the scale reading... | |
| Help me not let this happen again Thanks for the responses Peter and Ghosthouse. I have around 1500-2000 hours on it I'm guessing over a 4 year period. I clean it with a Onzow regularly and have never had a mishap (luckily) with the cart. I use a digital microscope or a 10x magnif... | |
| Help me not let this happen again Sorry on typos, its VTF and 1.950 - 1.975 g in first paragraph. | |
| Stylus force digital scales Is that Audio Additives scale truly non-magnetic? I have the identical one from Acoustic Sounds (provably made by the same manufacturer) and its magnetic and still needs taring when I put my cart hovering over the weigh scale area. | |
| setting azimuth I just measured the azimuth of Doug's post. As always, its spot on!! | |
| VPI SDS 45 RPM malfunction Brf is right - definitely worth a try. |
