Hum or buzz through speakers
I had a 60Hz hum in my system due to an antenna/cable connection, when the TV was connected to my Jolida amp. The TV cable had a ground that is different from the electrical ground thus resulting in a ground loop. Best way to find out is to discon... 
Is extremely accurate "VTA" adjustment necessary?
Well, I think I am certainly convinced now that my next table/arm combo will have the appropriate facilities for adjusting vta. After all this discussion I really need to try it for myself. There's nothing better than experiments, theory is not al... 
What's your latest "Discovery"
Marco - This is a really great thread. I have been running out of new music recently, since I just enjoy listening too much after finishing the setup of my new system. I picked up several suggestions here and still have long list left.Following so... 
What to do? Converting from 220v mains to 110v
Lugnut is correct about the Linn. The Genki can be converted by a switch on the back. Assuming you have a at least a Valhalla or Lingo the LP12 is convertable as well. As with respect to tube gear: There's are some good ones available in Europe, t... 
Which is better, Jolida or Cayin?
I was in the same position trying to decide between the Jolida 302b or Cayin TA30 with no chance to listen to either one. I got the JD302b based on its upgradeability and based on other people's experience with it. In your case if you go with the ...

Is extremely accurate "VTA" adjustment necessary?
Thank you all for your responses. 4yanx - Thanks for your response. Of course I could just go ahead and get the vta adjuster anyway. I just wanted to have some more rational reasons before handing out $200 for vta. Since everybody here seems to ag... 
Is extremely accurate "VTA" adjustment necessary?
Hi Rushton,I do not dispute that you and Doug and others are hearing these changes. And I do trust your ears and system more than mine. To keep my question short and precise: My question after reading the article is just: Why don't we hear the var... 
Is extremely accurate "VTA" adjustment necessary?
Decay, how thick are those spacer record mats that you add for thin LP's?This does seem a like good option, since you are not disturbing the mechanical aspects of the arm mounting. However, like many popular tables mine does not use any record mat... 
Is extremely accurate "VTA" adjustment necessary?
One question I forgot to ask everybody here:How accurately do you adjust the VTA via tonearm height adjustments (0.02mm, 0.1mm, 0.5mm, 1mm)? For example Rega spacers are 2 and 4mm, which is certainly does not seem to be enough. Rene 
Is extremely accurate "VTA" adjustment necessary?
Doug thanks for your insights. I know that you and other (TWL etc.) probably know a lot more about this than I do. After all I have only been into analog for a little more that 10 years. I just would like to make some point before you dismiss this... 
Is extremely accurate "VTA" adjustment necessary?
Thank you Rushton and Tom for your contributions here.I think the question here is whether changes of 0.1mm in tonearm height are actually necessary. I would agree based on my personal experience that changes on the order of 0.5mm to 1mm do make a...
