Hi,Instruction on the record are poor, that's is true.Nevertheless I wouldn't say that this record is worthless.I find the azimuth's track and the resonance test very interesting indeed.Moreover, I think, and it's been proven to me by listening te...

If people are still reading me, I just want to ask Hfisher:have you ran the lateral and vertical resonance test?Side 2 track 2 and 3.If not, please run it and tell me what your results are.They both should be around 10Hz.I have ran the 2 tests and...

Just a little updat.I have re-set the eight down to 2gr and lower the antiskate so just enough to get the 12dB's one thus the 14dB is not distorting.Sound is ver clean dynamic and crisp.Harmonics are comning through.The funny thing is that I hear ... 
VPI Classic and ZYX 4D
gotcha.The I was correct, I understood you tracked the 12dB's but you posted something here that sounded like you were unable to track any of the 3 tracks.If you then track the 12dB, how bad is the distortion on the 14db's?Is it on both channel? L...

Yeah it won't affect that much, I do agree.What affect the most is the VTF/AS.It is really strange though.I can tell you right now: it is not a matter of brake in if you don't track the first nor the second (12dB, 14dB)I bet you have distortion.I ...

P.S. eheheh I just saw from your profile that you are from Canada .... never mind them :)

Hfisher,that sounds strange though.If you have sme V and antiskate on you should be able to pass at least the first two tracks.I don't know about the third.I personally don't hear any mistracking anymore after the last regulation.Please check bett...

thank you very much for your comments.Based on what you said I will let the cartridge loosen up for anther 20hrs (i.e. 2-3 weeks or less hopefully)BTW the sound has changed quite a bit in these last 5 hrs.I think I am up to 25-28hrs so it is too e...

yes it is the Carmina Burana Vol 2 Harmonia Mundi on LP.It is very nice but I can hear distortion, I mean it doesn't come through perfectly clear all the time.I assume it is my tracking though.But I have listen to the Carmina Burana on Telarc LP a...

a little update.I have reached out the 14dB track.In order to do that I had to untwist the external wire a lot and there are only few twists left therefore I won't go any further.I am wondering whether I am ruining the external wire by doing that ...

I just want to outline an incredible pressing that you guys can look into as very hard test for your analogue system:Carmina Burana volume 2 - Version originale & intégraleWhen I put this record on, you can tell the incredible dynamic of it.Th...

Hi,it has little hours.Something like 15-20hrs.I personally don't think the brake in is going to make that difference though.Also because, Hfisher has the same problem on SMEV and I suppose cart is fully broken in.My question is: have you checked ... 
VPI Classic and ZYX 4D
right....I saw your post here and I was referring to you.A question though:I assume that sme has an antiskating system on the arm.Do you have it down to zero or set?I personally start thinking that ZYX are so particular that they are meant to be t...

Hi Mark,thanks for your post.If have noted there is another user that had the same exact result but using a SME and Gra tonearms.Neither one of them is unipivot.So I guess it is not the toneare none is the matching since I have ran resonance (late...

Now, I tested the system with 3-4 gr on the headshell.Tracking is a little bit improved.By Increasing tracking force up to 2.1gr I am tracking clearly one ch of the 14dB's while the other ch is in distortion due to lack of antiskate force.I tried ...
