| Grado Cartridge questions..... ..just my 2cents... I had a Grado Sonata low output on a Rega P-25. I always had a hum problem. The hum was very low, and listeners could kind of blank it out, but it always bothered me. By the way...the hum did not increase as I moved the tonearm... | |
| A question about the logic of interconnect cables I was talking to Richard Vandersteen and asked him similar questions as above...

| Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions I read these series of posts through, and just can't understand why anyone would want to go nuts over this. VPI has a perfectly good alignment jig. My SME also came with a plastic jig similar to VPI's that works well...I double checked them both w... | |

| ZeroDust still the best? I remember many years ago when I had my Linn, the suggestion for cleaning the stylus of a cartridge - suggested by Mr. Teifenwhatever, was to use the sandpaper on the matchbook that everyone used to light their cigarettes. | |
| VPI rim drive new feet The old feet are made of cast steel that measures exactly 1/2 inch. They are held on to the unit with countersunk Phillips heads screws that are 1 inch. The screw heads when installed are covered by the use of a thin blue gummed label-like disc. | |
