| Well-Tempered Golf Ball? I just realized that this thread is a resurrected thread from about 10 years ago. It looks like they have done away with the golf ball, or at least made a machined aluminum cap to disguise the "science project" appearance. I was a happy owner of... | |

| Worth the $$ to upgrade my tonearm? To answer your question, the answer is yes, a better tonearm can make a difference. Sometimes the improvements are small, and sometimes they are not so small. I recently upgraded my SME IV arm to a Tri-Planar arm, and the improvements were signi... | |
| SME 20/2 Static Electricity Follow up:I got a grounding mat yesterday and connected it to the ground on my outlet. Results? It did help. There was a dramatic decrease in static on the record. Some small amounts of static build up after playing one side but much less than... | |
| SME 20/2 Static Electricity @millercarbonDoes Static Guard leave any kind of residue behind? I would be hesitant to use anything leaving a residue around my pricey electronics. | |
| SME 20/2 Static Electricity @stereo5 Great idea. I will try the grounding mat. Thanks! | |
| SME is leaving the OEM and aftermarket/retail tonearm business. I love my SME 20/2 but when I switched my tonearm from a IV.vi to a Tri-planar I realized that the SME tonearm was not as good as I thought it was. Not even close to the TP. Still, SME is an awesome company and I hope they continue to thrive and... | |
| In search for speakers of "natural" sound When I had Harbeth M30's I found they sounded much better after I added a REL subwoofer and properly dialed it in. Since then I've moved up to Monitor 40.1's and that was the magic I was after for the natural sound I was after. I've also gone th... | |
| LFD NCSE Mk3 Thanks guys. I did read the Tone Audio review before but it doesn't give any of the technical specs of the amp. It does show a picture of the rear but not in very high detail. I will talk to Gene Rubin about it. He is the one who recommended t... | |
| Thought My Harbeth M40.1's Were Forever Speakers - Guess Not @pdreher No regrets but sometimes I wish I had the PL tube amp in addition to the Lyngdorf just so I could spend time with both of them since they are both so great. The Lyngdorf is the best SS amp I have heard, but it's not a tube amp. | |
| Thought My Harbeth M40.1's Were Forever Speakers - Guess Not @audiojedi My amp is a Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 and it drives my 40.1's with ease. Previously I had a Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP and it also sounded great with them. | |
| Thought My Harbeth M40.1's Were Forever Speakers - Guess Not @pdreher I hear ya, man. I have been so happy with the 40.1's I was happy never hearing the upgraded versions. Just didn't want to know first hand lest I be tempted. The upgrade bug is strong in me now, however. I'll definitely share my impres... | |

| Remembering Lou Reed I was fortunate to have seen him play twice in the 80's. I even recorded both of these shows on my Walkman Recorder and still have the master tapes. He was really great! I lost appreciation for him later on as he released some real turds and be... | |
