Cartridge Skips Beginning of Record
http://www.gcaudio.com/resources/howtos/tonearmcartridge.htmlHere is a link to a good primer on cartridge/tonearm matching. 
Cartridge Skips Beginning of Record
Hi Garibaldi, First I would try a couple of things. First make sure there is no problem with the bearings. When you move the arm around does it move smoothly? Then make sure your turntable is perfectly level. Next double check your VTF (vertical t... 
What footer best under cd player
It will depend on the system and cd player. I have had good luck with roller block type footers. Stillpoints could be good as well. It really depends on what is needed most in your system. I've found that footers mostly effect the hardness or soft... 
incredible inexpensive speaker
So good you forgot to mention what speaker it was. LOL. 
New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts?
Brf, That was an early prototype. They had not yet designed an arm lift at that point. 
New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts?
Sorry Frank. I did not see your post before I submitted mine. I should have enough slop in the hole of my arm board to make up 1 mm. If not it can be made up at the headshell I assume?Sean 
New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts?
Lewm, The spindle to the center of the mounting hole distance (1 inch hole for the post) is 277 mm. I have made a new arm board for my SP10 mk2a plinth to accommodate the Schroeder LT.I am expecting the LT in a month or two. You should have no pro... 
New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts?
Lewm,That sounds logical. It's not quite the same as being a little off on overhang with a normal pivoted arm. On a LT arm if you are a little off it will be off the same amount all the way across the record unlike a normal pivoting arm. The cartr... 
Best digital converter $5k under
Another very good DAC for under $5k is the eXasound e20. Comes with a 130fs (femto seconds) clock that can be upgraded to 82fs. It does PCM up to 384/32 and up to 4x native DSD. I bought the 82fs version and could not be happier. Best digital I've... 
SP-10 Mat
Glad to hear the BA mat 2 worked out for you Steve. I'm not really sure when my BA mat 1 got warped but I don't think it was when I first received it. I always stored it with my records standing straight up in a temperature controlled environment.... 
VPI Classic hum
It's just physics. The motor is too close to the cartridge. They either need to shield the motor better or move the motor farther away. Sure certain carts will be more immune to the effects but you should not have to worry about this on a product ... 
Magtech Amplifier
Driving a 1 ohm load at 20 khz is different than driving a 1 ohm load at 30 hz. Stats have a very high impedance until you get to the high frequencies. Then the impedance drops like a rock.I expect the Sanders amps would do well with the Scintilla... 
Stylus Rake Angle
I think what John is trying to explain is that the arc of the stylus as it moves from side to side will be slightly different if the angle of the cantilever does not match that of the cutter. Irregardless of the SRA of the stylus/cutter.I've never... 
Stylus Rake Angle
Atmasphere, Does azimuth vary from cutter to cutter and lathe to lathe? If so it would not surprise me. 
2013 RMAF Analog Reports + Meet and Greet
Looking forward to hearing the Saskia II with the Schroder LT. I never got to hear the original Saskia but heard good things about it. I was hoping a Tech Das Air Force One would be at RMAF. I don't see it in the listing of products on the RMAF we...
