| Decoupled versus hard-mounted counterweights. Yes, it is directly related to the type of table(suspended or unsuspended), as well as the arm being used. I have made some hanging counterweights for my OL Silver on my Teres, and they have surpassed the standard counterweight and some aftermarke... | |
| wondering about Scheu and Teres DIY, Just talking Both are good.I have a preference for the Teres, but with budget considerations, the Scheu is a nice option.Don't know anything about the Brian Cherry table.You can enjoy vinyl at many levels. Make a reasonable choice that you can live with. | |

| The Denon DL cartrige family as a few members, Actually, there are 2 distinct groups within the DL family. The DL103 or DL103C, and the DL103R are very low compliance cartridges(5cu), and the DL103S and DL103D are mid compliance cartridges(15cu).I have used the DL103 and the DL103R, and found ... | |
| Music Maker II cartridge Seeing as how this thread popped up again, I'll give a follow up. It has come to my attention that this cartridge is prone to giving the problems that Throwback has encountered with his JMW arm. The JMW appears to be a bit too heavy for this cartr... | |

| Teres update Go for it, Joe! | |
| Horns vs. single drivers The single drivers with back-horn loading are very efficient, without the front horn loading of the Klipsch. I'd expect lower colorations and much more coherent sound from the Lowther. Lowthers are not "coloration free" but they tend to be less co... | |
| Treating records with LAST preservative Inna, I've never used LAST preservative, or any other kind of preservative treatments on my records. As a record collector for many years, I did some research on the recommended storage procedures, and found that those worked quite well with no ri... | |
| Am i missing some good and lifelike speakers ?tks My concern is that the 40wpc will not be enough to drive the Soundlab speakers to the SPL that most audiophiles would wish to achieve. Most Soundlab users have amps in excess of 250wpc. Some still want higher power than that. | |
| Is the Berning ZH270 revalatory? If you like the push-pull ZOTL like the ZH270 and MicroZOTL, then you'll love the SET ZOTL like the Siegfried or my "Holy Grail" 45 SET ZOTL. A whole 'nuther level, for those with efficient speakers which can be driven by a few watts of output pow... | |
| Best Joni Mitchel Album I really like her live double album "Miles of Aisles". It incorporates alot of stuff off of years of studio albums. She does a real good job with the live performances.Also, there is a CD compilation called Joni Mitchell "Hits" that has the song "... | |
