Subwoofers - Grille off or on?
Grille cloth behaves differently at each frequency. In the bass, a great deal of air is literally always 'stuck' to a woofer's cone- the larger the woofer, the deeper/thicker that layer.Therefore, any cloth will act as a drag on that moving mass. ... 
Help me start off right in the reel to reel realm
Since you do not require large reels, but would like high-quality playback of pre-recorded 7" reels (and excellent-sounding recordings), have a strong look at a Tandberg 9000 series, rebuilt by a Tandberg specialist such as SoundSmith. I have no a... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
LewM,Always appreciate your input. I would ask if your two tonearm/cartridge setups were both aligned with their respective arc-protractors?Best regards,Roy

Halcro,The adapter at your link appears to be well-enough made.Do remember that all P-mount cartridges are supposed to come with adapters, even if a website selling a new P-mount cartridge does not show a picture of it. All adapters are 'universal... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
All P-mount cartridges are identical in several important ways:— All fit into the same plug-in adapters (since all fit into any P-mount tonearm).— All have the body weight.— All assume the same VTA when mounted into any P-mount tonearm.— All have ...

Raul,Thank you- I see that it is your EPC-P100C Mk4 model, new, at that link above, which works fine for me.Best regards,Roy

I am wrong to state that the Galibier company will make an Arc Protractor for any TT. I think they can advise on how to get one made for most TTs. Sorry for any inconvenience.Best,Roy

I think I am wrong to say Thom will produce them for any TT. I think he can advise on how to get them produced for many turntables. Sorry for any inconvenience.Best,Roy

Better Arc-Protractor info: Arc-protractor, as this company offers to make them for people.Best regards,Roy 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Lewm,Thom from Galibier complimented me on the initial sound of my two-point setup, as he can normally hear any mis-alignment straight away. He said this was an indicator that I must have had done it to the highest accuracy. But still, the Arc-Pro...

Congratulations! I think you will really enjoy it. Consider setting up the cartridge via an Arc Protractor when you get the H/K: Google Arc-protractor searchBest regards,Roy 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
I was fortunate enough to meet with Thom from Galibier turntables the other day, and he aligned my cartridge to an 'arc' template. While I am certainly not the first to experience this, what an amazing difference it made between the quite-exact tw... 
Micro Seiki MB-18
In my former days as a Micro retailer, the MB-18 replaced their MB-15, in 1981. Unfortunately, we could feel some 'slop' in its tonearm bearings compared to the solid-feel of the MB-15's arm.If you have not yet purchased an MB-18, I would recommen... 
Edge NL 10.1 update
Bob and Srwooten, you are both correct about modern Edge amps shutting of the output as soon as the power switch is turned off-- perhaps these have a speaker-wire relay which disengages.Srwooten, the power-LED may indeed discharge the power supply...
