Thuchan,You obviously don't mean that! Three Hail Marys for you I think.:^)

Weseixas said:Thanks for making my case Decibel , your accusations have no recourse for they are lacking in substance.This is after the previous two "value-added" comments regarding horns, speaker technology, and whatnot by Weseixas:Uh, huh ......... 
Ideal SUT for Lyra Olympos cartridge?
I agree with Mosin on checking on Intact Audio transformers, or those from Bent Audio. I have a set of Bent Audio Mu transformers and they are the first transformers that I have had which really perform at a top level where I don't think I am miss...

Raul,The 'link' you provided appears to be from your own hard drive. 
Top 3 high compliant mm/mi cartridges
Nandric,A thought... as long as you can find a stylus carriage for your AKG 8 ES, someone who retips carts should be able to replace the cantilever/stylus on the detachable 'stylus.' So if you find one which has a broken cantilever, that should be... 
Looking for a best TT without arm for under 10K.
Great choice of table. Congrats! Isochronism has a good idea. The wonderful thing about your new table is that there are lots of armboards available for them, and getting new ones machined for other arms not currently covered should not be difficu...

Rok2id,Your position on 'wire' leads to the comment about amps and CDPs because all electronic components are effectively 'wire' - i.e. conductors or components which conduct signal. In a CDP, there is a laser reading a distance off a spinning dis... 
A New Believer
Rok2ID,I have done that test over the short term, in my apartment, with multiple people present, and noone able to know whether I had changed something or not (I had a screen in front of the pre/CDP to allow me to switch cables (or pretend to) and... 
A New Believer
Rok2id,As you seem to be one of those philosophers, I urge you to open the horse's mouth yourself. Personally, I have heard the difference between cables on more than one occasion by experimenting, sometimes to my chagrin, once to my dismay. All k...

Did you ever see pictures of gurus on top of mountains with folded legs, fingers meshed, half-closed eyelids and an expression of utter serenity? The way it is usually portrayed is that he is being sought out by the young person who climbs the mou... 
Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment
DT,I would have figured that different alignments altered the shape of the tracking error curve (this is indeed the critique of using a Stevenson vs a Baerwald - that the tracking error curve is "worse" than the Baerwald over the whole of the recr... 
Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment
DT and Timeltel,Given the nature of how the tracking angle changes over the course of the record (for any arm), I would expect the skating force to fall on its way inward and then start to rise again as it moves past the peak tracking distortion a... 
iPad-Greatest tool for manuals at your fingertips
And if you have a Mac, there is a piece of software (free/shareware) for your Mac called calibre. The GUI is kind of kludge-y but it is an ebook manager which works better than others I have seen (if anyone else has seen even better - please tell ... 
iPad-Greatest tool for manuals at your fingertips
iBooks is actually pretty good for reading books too... :^)If you keep lots of documents (of any kind) on your iPad, I cannot recommend the GoodReader app highly enough. Very useful! 
Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment
John,I have read the Howard piece (assuming you mean 'Arc Angles'), which I think is an appropriate intro to the subject for many people. His brief points on weightings are interesting but, they just aim at the idea, and go nowhere with it. The la...
