| Anyone (everyone) care to throw a dart? I only use my hearing aids at social gatherings/dinner in a good restaurant/etc. I don't listen to music with them..they close in the sound, and much too digital sounding. | |
| Cartridge without serial? cartridge without a serial number would make me wonder if its real, knockoff/or stolen. | |
| All things being equal (hypothetical) which do you prefer, XLR or RCA? If you have differentially balanced equipment.....balanced cable is better...with no problems in the association. I have Dif. balanced CD player, amp, preamp, even the cartridge is wired balanced. (XLR phono) No problem, only music. | |
| Help! Antiskate with only a weight...no dial, and she's skating away! Dover... thanks....I have a short attention span..... anyway....I think the arm is acting as mine does. Another thought is that as you know, many records have a raised outer edge. If your arm is lowering too quickly, it will slide down this edge b... | |

| EXTRA! EXTRA!! Millercarbon Proven Wrong!!! Read all about it! EXTRA! EXTRA!! People just don't read these posts. I said that wire sounds different in different systems. I believe the poster when he said that his Thiels sounded better with Cardas. In my system they sounded dull and slow....Thiels are fast and sprightly w... | |
| SoundSmith cartridges how good? mijostyn...did you know Joe Grado?.... I was a neighbor in Westfield, NJ. He was so kool tooling around in his Lambo. I've been at his home/factory many times. He was one of those who got me interested...I had every one of his top cartridges... | |
| Help! Antiskate with only a weight...no dial, and she's skating away! mijostyn.....you seem to have a surfeit of opinion and not much awareness. I don’t need to be instructed on turntable setup, I’ve done it for over 40 years. I’ve personally owned an SME V. Grado Lab, ESL, Ortofon, Rega, Thorens, Helios, and probab... | |
| EXTRA! EXTRA!! Millercarbon Proven Wrong!!! Read all about it! EXTRA! EXTRA!! In my experience, all cables sound different in different systems. I have all Ayre electronics....Ayre recommended Cardas to me. As a matter of fact, Ayre cables are actually Cardas manufactured and just a bit different from the branded cables. ... | |
| Help! Antiskate with only a weight...no dial, and she's skating away! Lewn....what I'm writing in my post above is that when listening, I can clearly hear that when using skating with my VPI there is shrinking of stage, a closing of the spaces between the instruments, etc. This may be because of my specific tonea... | |
| Help! Antiskate with only a weight...no dial, and she's skating away! cabalaska......My original Ortofon Winfield was internally wired incorrectly right out the new box...was quickly replaced. Ortofon is a great company, but sometimes things happen. If your problem persists, you might want someone to take a care... | |
| Help! Antiskate with only a weight...no dial, and she's skating away! ..one more thing.....are you sure your Ortofon is not bent/broken/etc. | |
| Help! Antiskate with only a weight...no dial, and she's skating away! MillerCarbon may have something here. What I hear is that with a/s, the spaces around the instruments are more filled in.....it may be resonance with the a/s device. (I have one of those VPI arms with 2nd pivot). Once you hear the effect, its... | |
| Diffuser or absorber behind listening position....and is it worth doing?? In my experience, that would do little, glass windows are no good, even with the blinds drawn. I found putting rug in front of the speakers helpful. |
