| Absorb or Diffuse Behind Listening Position? I would absorb the back wall behind the listening position, you're sitting too close for diffusion to work properly. Bass trap corners if you're in a dedicated room and diffuse everywhere else especially first reflection. It's trial and error and ... | |
| Morch DP-8 arm on a Helix Two turntable @dover at some point I may try the Morch on the Garrard, I would have to get a 12” wand to fit my plinth. I’ve already made arrangements to trade in the DP-6 for a DP-8 so I’m really looking forward to it.This video may be helpful in setting up th... | |
| What room treatment product have transformed your room or audio system? Some interesting products mentioned! I haven’t thought of digital room control before.I’ve been listening and adjusting the past few days and have gotten to the point where I’m really satisfied, a combination of panels, bass traps, diffusers, and ... | |
| Morch DP-8 arm on a Helix Two turntable Nice! I too have Garrard 401 but with a Schick tonearm. Thank you for the info on the DP-8. | |
| Morch DP-8 arm on a Helix Two turntable @dover I do have a custom phono cable that I use with my DP-6, I’m actually quite satisfied with its performance which is the reason I’m considering the DP-8. Which table and Morch arm tube did you use, I favor the heavy blue dot. | |
| Morch DP-8 arm on a Helix Two turntable Thank you for sharing your experiences with the DP-8. I'm currently using a 9 inch DP-6 and have really gotten used to it, so the natural upgrade path for me is the DP-8. I don't have the vibration issue you had on my tonearm but it's good to know... | |
| What room treatment product have transformed your room or audio system? I've experimented with a few different products and the best result so far is a combination of panels, diffusers, bass trap and a lot of time listening and adjusting.Like @noromance I don't recommend acoustic foam, they have a deadening quality an... | |
| Morch DP-8 arm on a Helix Two turntable @dover thank you for clarifying, the Morch DP-6/8 is a dual pivot design and share some similarity to the knife edge bearing in vintage SME 3009 arms.The DP-8 has VTA adjustment that isn't on their lower models, can you share your experiences on h... | |
| Morch DP-8 arm on a Helix Two turntable I'm also interested in the Morch DP-8 and they seem to be very highly regarded from what I've read. Is the DP-8 really a unipivot? I thought only the UP-4 is a true unipivot. What type of turntable do you recommend this arm for? | |

| LP playback vs Reel tapes made from LP @glai I have the ability to record vinyl to a Studer A810 but to me adding another layer of tape hiss to the pops and crackle of vinyl was something I wasn't interested in, it's just too much distortion for me. I've recorded hi res files to tapes ... | |
| Vinyl headache from hell!!! I've updated in an earlier post and on my system page my findings on these issues. The cartridge loading selector knob on one of my phono stage would intermittently cause static-like noises. Add in a number of bad pressings on a previous order, an... | |
| Vinyl headache from hell!!! Yes, we both heard the same static on his system, 5 out of the 8 sides all from the same order, I'm hoping to exchange these. The problematic phono is now with a local tech. I do have another phono that should be in perfect working condition, I wi... | |
| Vinyl headache from hell!!! I really appreciate everyone who has commented and it has given me some ideas and most of all the energy to try to get to the bottom of this. As shared in my original post, I've been frustrated to the point where it has affected my ability to trou... | |
| Vinyl headache from hell!!! I will go back and recheck my settings, seems like I’ve already checked my VTA and antiskate over the last month but will do it again just to make sure. This setup was working just fine a few months ago and then all the problems with my turntables. |
