general tonearm design question
Both responses are superb,but I feel a sense of obligation to like Doug's better! -:) Best! 
Magic Diamond vs Airtight PC1?
Slipknot,great stuff,as usual.The site you provided was fun to view,as well.I can clearly see the Magic Diamond as a viable product offering,but a cartridge called "VIRUS"????That might scare me off -:) Best! 
Magic Diamond vs Airtight PC1?
As much as I cannot wait for feedback,on the PC-1,the only real way to get a good feel for ANY comparisons is to hear it for ourselves.Playing familiar LP's.Just an opinion.

Audiofeil,you are "such" a nice guy!!

FWIW,I find my own tracking force,of about 1.87-1.88gms to keep me in the balpark,with my Temper-v(it is tiring to spend ten minutes vying for an exact 1/100th gm setting,and sometimes longer).Yet I am getting SO picky that I check it about once a... 
Magic Diamond vs Airtight PC1?
Krc,different set-ups,on different days.NO way to make a valid comparison!The Magic Diamond made "my" LP's,which I brought sound like what a DECCA should sound like!A fine cartridge,IMO.I remember saying to myself,it had a very good sense of stage... 
Should I Brush My Cartridge After Each Use?
I don't know if this was mentioned,but it is a better idea to brush each side of an lp after it plays out.This way it can go back in the jacket/sleeve,clean.The inner sleeves of album "jackets",are a source of contamination for many sloppy hobbyis...

Jcarr,it is post "material" like your previous one that causes me to realize how little I actually know,about the stuff I own.As well as stuff I respect,having heard ALOT.Technically,that is!!My ONLY resource of knowledge comes from the "practical...

Thom,you are being way to conservative regarding perceptions of .05 gms,in downforce on a very good system!I am sure you did so,for a reason,but .02 is more on par with my own experiences.How obsessed are we?I admit to being afflicted,as well. Act... 
Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik
I came to this post a bit late,but thoroughly enjoyed it! Raul what can I say?This is great stuff,and I hope you continually add more input/insight to this. Thanks! 
Anyone else regenerating A/C?
I have a good friend who has a P-300 connected to his front end stuff.Pre/phonostage,CD,and Turntable.He had a UPC-200 on his Rowland 8t,and had gone through a good amount of other devices before settling on this combo.My "other group" of audio pa... 
Fascinating TT-review
Mab,I like the reviewer's take on how the Septum arm is designed.Alot of the discussion makes sense to me.It is not a formal review,but has some viable points.This business of "low parts count" on a tonearm seems to make sense.Also,with the Septum... 
Fascinating TT-review
Mab,the thing I was taken to,with the arm,is it's ability to be set up,and then one can take away many of the "normal" set-up parts,which supposedly add coloration.I like the "fabulous" one piece armtube(it's shape seems well thought out),as well ... 
Magic Diamond vs Airtight PC1?
Though the PC-1 is getting some good press,the Transfiguration Orpheus just got a RAVE review in Hi Fi News,FWIW!My friend has it,and I have heard it enough times,now,to know it CLEARLY trounces the Tempers,which I happen to own(sorry Neil -:)!I h...

It could easily be "tube" related. Best of luck.
