| Set up on the Mapleknoll Turntable If you search the web under "Maplenoll" you will find some people who are modding and tweaking these TT's.As with any air bearing TT/arm, having it perfectly level is of paramount importance. Also there are issues about moisture in the air lines. ... | |
| Ringmat vs. Linn felt mat The Linn platter rings like a bell. The felt damps the ringing in just the right way. Other materials are not as effective at this. | |
| A cheap and accurate way to adjust VTA of JMW arm That sounds like a good, accurate way to find the level point. I usually just eyeball it, and dial it in by ear from there. | |
| very disappointed about my system setup Is the LP12 properly adjusted and set up? And when I say set up, I mean the internal springs and the P-Clip and the suspension rate and leveling inside the TT. Is the CJ phono section correct in gain and loading for the Dynavector? It these 2 thin... | |

| Newbie Question: VTA and Rega P25/RB600 Origin Live and Expressimo Audio both make variable VTA adjusters for the Rega arms. They are around $40. They are threaded adjusters, and not the easiest to use, but they do work. You can dial it in exactly, with a little patience and a good ear.... | |
| Are your used items selling? It may have had a bearing on it, but I think that many others are aware of the Berning quality, without my mentioning it. Also, the Berning ZH270 normally sells used for about $3600-$3800, which is also about 80% of it's $4500 retail price, so thi... | |

Most "transcription" arms that I am aware of, are long arms, around 12 inches long. These will not go on an LP12. There are diffe... | |

| I'm taking votes Could be heartbreaking when you find out that your LP12 beats out your $20k CD12. And I think your speakers are good ones also. I would recommend getting a new Shelter 901 cartridge to replace the aging Troika, and spend the other $18500 on mint c... | |

| neutrality vs. realism Oh, boy! Here we go again.My take on this is that our ears are the ultimate judge, and I will grant that impressions may vary from person to person. If this makes me a "subjectivist" so be it.Now, alot of the controversy and confusion come from th... |
