Tracking Force Gauges
Albert,you are quite good natured to actually loan out your Winds.My pals will bring it,but it goes home with them,for sure. As to the bag of necessary goods,which goes flying across the vehicle,I hope it does not contain any Early pressing Deccas... 
Anybody heard Galibier or JC Verdier turntables?
Hey Doug,Dan is nice enough to admit to feeling my pain.How about you?-:) It's Saturday night.Don't be such a "technical" stick in the mud!Have a nice cheap bottle of Beringers Chardonnay,or perhaps some Chateau St Jean Reisling.Well they're not "... 
Anybody heard Galibier or JC Verdier turntables?
I don't see any real threat to a table owner's security regarding bearing friction or wear,providing it comes from a reliable,proven manufacturer.No problemo with any mentioned in these threads,as far as I'm concerned. Just take a look at some of ... 
Tracking Force Gauges
I had the Cartridge Man guage.The problem with it was that it needed to be recharged often.Not a good thing if you suddenly need to check downforce.Also,I was sceptical of the accuracy after about ten minutes of going back and forth to the table.T... 
Anybody heard Galibier or JC Verdier turntables?
Dougy,how could you come to the conclusion,from my post,that I have ever heard both tables together.Re-read my post,and it is clear that you misinterpreted my point.You seem to do that often,but I still love you. Also,the business of bearing frict... 
whats the best styus cleaner gel
Doug,your argument is so compelling,that it leaves no doubt in my mind as to the superiority of Magic Eraser.I've got to try it,and will tell my pals too!Thanks! 
SOTA Nova vs SME 20/2
Because of the impact of CD's,and the negative advertising of competition,most vinyl lovers really have no idea how a well designed vacuum system can impact music reproduction.There are some vacuum systems that allow for the user to set vacuum pre... 
Anybody heard Galibier or JC Verdier turntables?
Dear "Sir Douglas",unless you have compared the two tables in A/B comparisons,you are merely speculating as to what should sound like what!Also,an "important" aspect of the PV bearing system(or lack of)is that there will be no friction,like a good...

CTM,you have to pay closer attention!The first guage(which I have,and like)measures to 1/1000's.The second guage is only measured in 1/10's!This is a big difference in the ability to get the most from a good cartridge!Though the ability to measure... 
SOTA Nova vs SME 20/2
Personally I believe your mind is made up.That being said,the latest Cosmos is in another league from past Sota products(including ALL previous Cosmos tables).The latest Sotas are manufacturered to much better tolerances than all previous models,a... 
I am thinking of buying the Avalon Osiris.
Dr.Roland,I'll try to reach you when I get into my ofice,on Thursday.If not,you can reach me at sirspeedy7068@earthlink.net(no 70680,just 7068)BTW,you have wonderful speakers. 
Transfiguration Orpheus - Has anyone tried it ?
Larry,I seem to get the impression that the older(circa 1962,like yours)Klipshorns are the most desireable.Is this so,and why?Just my curiosity.Surely they must be great. Also,if you've been following the analog threads for the last year and a hal... 
Transfiguration Orpheus - Has anyone tried it ?
Larry,I was not hinting at you needing to mod,or go to a super tweet.Just asking if you were familiar with it.A friend had mentioned that he knew of two horn based set-ups that added the Townshend,and it greatly helped.Not that it is a necessity,i... 
How to set SRA after determining true vertical?
Dan,you can E-mail me at Sir Speedy 7068@earthlink.net(just leave out the "0" in my usual 70680). Best! 
Tracking Force Gauges
Andrew,yes with both the the supplied weight,and with my friend's 800 dollar Winds guage!It's very accurate,and worth the 95 bucks,easily.Believe me,I'm into accurate digital guages,but this new guage is very fine indeed! Best!
