| Cartridge Alignment Some things come to mind....is the turntable absolutely level....is the cartridge tracking at about 1.7 grms....is the arm free of drag as you move it to the spindle and back by hand....did you get the cartridge new...look at the stylus head on an... | |
| Michell Gyro SE + SME IV upgrade path What is it that you don't like about your current turntable? If anything? If you just want a change, the VPI Classic is a mighty good turntable...it will sound different but if it's attributes are not the things that you respond to...what's the ... | |
| Anti skate. I think something's wrong There is no way to measure/adjust anti-skate properly...it is a constantly changing force, and is so small that it is unnecessary. It only distorts the tracking of the arm...provides unnecessary damping .....not for me. | |
| Anti skate. I think something's wrong For the best sound you shouldn't use the a/s at all. I never use it. | |

| Shopping for a preamp Ayre gear is cutting edge stuff.....also K1xemp with phono board should be in your search | |
| Oh brother, am I in desperate need of help! 8) I agree with stevecham.....talk to John at AudioConnection in New Jersey....it would really be worth a phone call. | |
| interconnect choice I have Clear Day as well....works better than anything I've tried (lots) Ayre to Vandersteen | |
| CARTRIDGE WOES? ...for starters, sit down with a drink and relax. Something is wrong here. I would send the cartridge to Lyra for a quick evaluation. If you have great confidence in your dealer...he could look at it, but I personally would have Lyra take a loo... | |
| interconnect choice czarivey....that's true if the equipment is designed for balanced operation...not just single ended with XLR connections. | |
| ground the outlet or not?? I certainly would attach the ground..... | |
