| Quality Record Pressings "Tea for the Tillerman" From the things I have heard half speed mastering creates more problems than it solves. | |
| Leave the turntable running? I have my table placed so that I can run around it at 33 RPM so the record remaind stationary relative to me; this makes changing much easier. Seriously, this sounds totally unnecessary to me and this is the first time I have ever heard of the idea. | |
| Audio Note M8 phono The M9 has three; it is the new M8 wih built in phono [MM]. It got a very favorable review in HIFICRITIC last year. The three are selector, volume and mono/stereo. | |
| Why use a super accurate cartridge protractor I believe that they are for those with younger eyes who wish to spend more time on alignment than most of us do. I have not used then myself as the arms I usually use, VPI and Graham, come with gauges that do a very good job. Would Mint etc do bet... | |

| Gamut Speakers....Anyone? Hello? A pair of L7s just became avalable on here, if I didn't have the 5s I would be looking at them even if they are probably too large for my room. A good deal for someone. | |
| REL subs hook up What Al describes is how I have my two Stadium subs hooked up, with Red and Yellow to the Red terminial. The recomended CD is the soundtrack from "Sneakers", which I use myself. I got it used on Amazon. Download the REL set up info from the Sumico... | |
| Gamut Speakers....Anyone? Hello? I have the L5s and am very happy with them; there is a pair currently on Audiogon. The truth is there apparently were not many pairs of the L series in the US; I bought mine with no audition based on extensive research. I considered applying for a... | |
| Biwire jumpers as speaker cables? If they are long enough, yes. I have some 1 M Siltech F 12 ribbons that I have used both for mono blocks and jumpers. My 3" 14 gauge solid silver wire, not so much. Since I have seen everything from bell wire to welding cable used by someone somew... | |
| VPI JMW 10.5 mounting question If the arm is mounted the correct distance from the spindle then any universal protractor should work. Dedicated ones like the Mint are suppose to do an even better job but are expensive. You can download ones from sites like Vinyl Engine free. | |
| Best neutral aes/ebu cable for transport - DAC I use to have Transparent Reference and it was very good but I paid $700 for it used for 1.5 M so it is not inexpensive. I would also buy used; I recently bought an Oyaide silver cable on here for $150 with WBT plugs. It is avalable on ebay new fo... | |
| Tonearm Geometry and Setup I thought that these were the product of the width of the record, which is a constant, the length of the tone arm, which varies, and the chosen formula [Loftgren etc] for producing the least distortion. This would appear to offer zero degrees of f... | |
