| Alignment Protractors I also have the Turntable Basics protractor, and I feel it does the job well. | |
| Are we music lovers or gear lovers? Does a racing driver love his car? Does a hunter love his gun? Is a tennis enthusiast interested in rackets? Does a guitar player love his guitars? They are the means to the desired end. If we didn't have audio gear, would we be questioning each o... | |
| Cartridge/Tonearm matching fundamentals? Okay.Just my opinion. | |
| Moving coil cartridge advice needed Doug, yes, I'm afraid it sounds even better than it looks. With the OL Silver and DL103, it is quite a package. I wish I could afford a Shelter 501 right now, but with the custom 45 amp I've ordered from Berning and all, I have to wait. The DL103 ... | |
| Cartridge/Tonearm matching fundamentals? Okay, regarding the "oar in the water" analogy, this is a mitigating factor as I mentioned above, as are the weighted "outriggers" on some unipivots. It can help to improve things. However, I would point out that even if the "oar" is greatly slowe... | |
| Two systems? Why? I have a bedroom system and a main one. The main one is for serious music listening only, and there is only vinyl as a source. On the bedroom system, I have an Armstrong 626 receiver, a Sony 9000 CD/SACD/DVD player, and my old pair of Fostex singl... | |
| Cartridge/Tonearm matching fundamentals? Peter, I was looking for that graph, but couldn't find it. If you find it on the net, could you please put a link, or URL up for us, so we can all see it? | |
| Moving coil cartridge advice needed Sayas, I do think that due to the length of the 12.5 arm, there is a better match there than with the 10.5 or 9. There is more mass and better angle. Also, I am hearing from others that the Helikon is working for them in JMW arms. So it seems that... | |
| Cartridge/Tonearm matching fundamentals? Tim, the term "compliance" relates to the flexibility of the suspension of the particular cartridge. Generally, a number of 12cu or under is considered low compliance. Low compliance means a stiff suspension, and often accompanies a heavier cartri... | |
| Grado Master, Benz Glider, or Shelder 501 ? Fully agree with Captain. The Shelter 501 is by far the best cartridge in that group. The Grado and Benz are totally out of their league in comparison to the Shelter. The Shelter 501 gives up very little to even the finest and most expensive cartr... | |

| SACD setup help From what I understand, there is no SACD output at the digital out. This is part of the Sony SACD copy protection scheme. If you want to hear SACD, you will have to use the audio outs, in both 2 ch. and multi ch. The output on both 2 channel and m... | |
| Matching Royd Speakers Okay, Dave, we've had our fun. We are all making fun of the name Royd, and the Hemor-Royd is what it is all about. Hemmorhoid, get it? Just all in fun, no disrespect meant. | |
| Turntable rookie I didn't know how to make a link, but this is the URL to Turntable Basics. They have 10cc bottles of silicone cueing mechanism fluid, for replacement of broken down or leaked fluid from the cueing system in your TT. It is $10.http://www.turntableb... | |
| Is it worth it to buy the Cable Cooker? Way to go Sean. I feel the same way. Sometimes(alot of times), I am highly opinionated about certain subjects, and speak my mind openly. As such, I also step on some toes, and get flamed. But, you are right. You would be doing everyone a dis-servi... |
