Plasma speakers anyone with info?
oops sorry...I could swear........ 
How Much Surface Noise is Too Much?
My turntable is almost as quiet as my CD player...if occasional scratches ...pops, tick's, etc. are discounted. 
what cartridge to buy
I have had many Grados and they always have been musical. I think the bluepoint may be a lateral arabesque. 
Anti-skate
SonofJim...Yup, when I removed the whole device, the sound really popped. I suspect that there is a resonance from the gizmo, like (all?) others which is why Harry doesn't like the devices at all. Never the less...if you find no anti-skate to your... 
Plasma speakers anyone with info?
The ozone emitting speakers you guys are talking about was called Dayton-Wright. They were big, heavy, and sounded great. I understand that the membranes failed pretty readily, so they went out of business. The original speaker that Joe Grado used... 
Anti-skate
VPI's official word is that no anti-skating is the best anti-skating. Harry does make a gizo that can be adjusted for force and where on the record that force accumulates. That is to say, it can add force at the end of the record, add force at the... 
Advantages of upgrade from VPI 16.5 RCM
I steam clean for dirty records, and wipe with a slightly dampened microfibre cloth for those in-between plays. This serves me well. 
Spades or bananas connectors?
That's why Vandersteen speakers don't have binding posts. 
Impdence Question
When I was fooling around with adding stereo speakers to my 57 Packard in the "good ol' days" I seem to remember that some speakers had transformers attached to them. ( Sweet ride..staight 8, used more oil than gas) 
Anyone heard the Von Schweikert Unifield 3?
ES247..I never heard the speaker or anything about Green Mountain speakers. I am a violinist, not a manufacturer. 
Von Schweikert speakers..
See what a learning experience these posts are...now everyone can speak a bit of Yiddish... 
Von Schweikert speakers..
My opinion. After owning B&W 802's, I found them lacking in bass, definition, air, depth, and are way overpriced. I bought them on a rebound when my wife died...should never have done it.Wilson - not for meVon Schweikert....look up goniff//jus... 
Does anyone repair Lyra cartridges?
My 2 cents is that your should have Lyra repair it. I am not demeaning Soundsmith, but I suspect the unit will be different...maybe better, maybe not, however, you can be sure it wont be a Lyra. I always bring my cars into the dealer to be sure I ... 
Opinions on budget TT
I vote for the Rega as well. I have one and it serves very well. After you get your car repaired, do some of the mods and bring it to a higher level without spending a lot. 
Power Cable DIY - need advice
I have compared Tunami and Accrolink. Tunami is very quiet, but does not have the air, depth, delicacy, boldness, etc. as Accrolink. Accrolink is a higher category of performance. I use the 046 plugs on either end. The plugs make even more of a di...
