| Walker Audio Prelude LP Cleaning Solution My understanding in speaking with Lloyd about this is that the "enzymes" are primarily used to "eat" the oils from the mold release products such that once accomplished it doesn't need to be done again and that this has nothing to do with facilita... | |
| Great bass from a linear tracking arm? I just talked to Mr. Kuzma at CES and he is just now offering the ZYX cartridge line under his own name, without any changes to the cartridges or the prices. | |
| $3,500 for analog front end forgot the Kerry Audio Design F2 counterweight for another $129. WHich brings your total to $3598 list. Audiofeil is right on the money, of course, but not everyone wants to deal with the used market. Definitely factor in the LP cleaning machine a... | |

| New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice At some point I'm going to construct a different arrangement for the motor. Channelling the motor vibes into the shlef is not the right way to handle this and that's what I'm currently doing. I want to make a matching corian and lead housing. I ma... | |

| Tube Dampers on the Herron phono preamp? Mapleshade tube anchors are also worth checking out, imparting more clarity and transparancy, also acting as shields when using the ground wires. The size of the tube is not the issue. The resolution of the system is, of course, critical in how mu... | |
| Please help, I'm worried about my Koetsu Urushi Adjusting VTF and especially VTA as the suspension settles over time is normal and necessary for all cartridges, more or less so with different suspensions. It is always appropriate to ride the upper edge of VTF when breaking in a cartridge, reduc... | |

| Rega P5 owners ditto. | |
| Cartridge I second the Grado Gold IF you're looking for rich and sweet which can go a long way towards being forgiving of non-ideal records. I wouldn't pair them but the Grado Sonata lists for $500 and is a major step up but overkill for that table. If you'... | |
| sme tonearm cartridge help Please?? 3009 S2 The Grado hum issue is table dependent. I've only heard of the problem. In 14 years as a Grado dealer I've never run across it. I don't know if the Ariston is compatible or not in this regard. With your concern about harshness it sounded like it m... | |
