| Re-tipped phono cartridges @chaksterAmazing! Thank you! | |
| New efficient speakers - best way to keep noise floor down? I would add that ultrasonic cleaning with heroic rinsing in pure water has done a lot for my noise floor. Equal to cartridge and power isolation. | |
| Re-tipped phono cartridges @chakster What camera, please? I too would like to monitor my stylus in as much detail as your 'MicroRidge' image.Thanks! | |
| Weight, Clamp or stabilizer? Set-up. You can do a lot with set-up, and it's mostly free. | |
| eqipment on 24/7? My SS phono/pre 'snaps' into focus after about 15 minutes, and gets better for an hour. Same for my higher end Nak cassette deck.My amps (SS Class A) are much slower. Listenable after an hour, splendid after 10. | |
| Perception According to the research (e.g. Cox), most rectilinear rooms sound bad, however well they have been constructed. Like 2/3. Almost all of the remaining third are merely OK. Only a tiny proportion, on the order of 1%, are good.Let alone the irregula... | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. You might want to pay attention to the room itself.

| Top 5 Tonearms Newer or Vintage Under 2500 That Will Beat anything above/below 2.5k? @harold-not-the-barrel Hello Harold. Just saw your post. I don't like the idea of a nylon interface where I could have a metal-to-metal contact, because I tend to prefer the latter. So I haven't tried the nylon pivot screws.Cartridges are Koetsu R... | |
| Name Your Top 5 Most Musical Dynamic Sounding Tonearms of All time? Trans-Fi TERMINATOR, not Triplanar. About $1000 - if they are back in production, which I suspect they are. One of the great bargains in high end. | |
| Name Your Top 5 Most Musical Dynamic Sounding Tonearms of All time? One of the greatest benefits of the Trans-Fi is its adjustability. Adjustments are precise and stable. What's the point of a wonderfully engineered product which can't be adjusted for optimum sound?Another great benefit is its tweak-ability. One c... |
