| Installation Instructions?? Lewm- What a good idea. Tweezers for sure. As for the order, I have always mounted the cart first, then connected the clips. BTW, if you want nerve-racking, try doing this with a nude canteliver cart like the benz or on a tt with no arm rest like ... | |
| Installation Instructions?? Stringreen- Needle nose pliers are good, but also be careful not to use too much force. If the clips do not slide on with a minor amount of pressure, try opening them up a LITTLE bit by using a round toothpick inserted into the opening. | |
| Looking for pricing advice for Modded SCD-1 That seems to me to be a good place to start. Hard to know in any precise way; a lot would have to do with the rep of the modder. | |
| "S" shaped tonearm ? Its a long way from the original question which was why were tone arms s shaped (paraphrasing). However, what this has evolved into is a discussion of one of the hobby's basic questions:Is design X better than design Y. Tubes better than SS, etc, ... | |
| Trying to maximize bass response ...... If you only have the 2 anamolies, you might consider the Rives PARC. At the very list, I would talk to Richard as he has shown himself to be very approachable. BTW, he also owns Talon now, so he should be able to tell you pretty definitively wheth... | |
| "S" shaped tonearm ? I think it was a combination of improved geometry and "sexiness" of the s-shaped arm. It was a way to stand out from many other mass market products (which of course got picked up by the mass marketers). Just MO. | |

| An Audiogon based system Yep, me, too. With a son in college and parents in assisted living, I could not afford any of what I have if I bought it new. | |
| External step-up transformer with Io or MP-1 Not sure why you would want to do that as I think each of these has sufficient gain w/o an SUT. | |

| Recommend a method of getting analog into my PC try posting on head-fi.org. Lots of folks there into computer audio big time. One thing I do know is that you will need to take a line leve signal off the tape loop of the pre-amp via RCA cables and then run it through an A-D converter of some kin... | |
| Infinity 2000A?? Hooked 'em up and they work just fine! All 8 stat tweeters, as far as I can tell from putting my head up them. Any thoughts on how they stack up to modern speakers? | |
| Infinity 2000A?? OK. Cool. A family member owns them, is downsizing and could use some $$. I will try and figure out if they work and then see if I can sell them for her. | |
| Infinity 2000A?? Nsgarch- them's the ones! Many thanks. Anyone have any idea what they are worth, assumming that they are working? Cabinets are intact and not too badly scratched, although they definately need refinishing. Woofer and mid surrounds look fine. I hav... |
