VPI users, what cartridge???
Dynavectors are a popular match with the JMW, but many of the medium compliance cartridges out there will work fine on that arm. You have a wide selection. 
New Vinyl Playback Technology
It is a 15 year old development. It has some very strong points, but the record needs to be immaculately clean for it to work well. It doesn't digitize, and you get an analog signal out the back. I haven't heard it, but I've researched it. There a... 
TERES - trially Good
Roni, yes, I have compared my mod with the Encounter. It is very close to the Encounter, and probably the main difference is the newer upgraded wiring in the Encounter. I'd say that the HiFi mod brings the Silver about $500 higher in value, in com... 
Best Sarah Brightman CD
I have La Luna, and I like a few of the songs on that one. The interesting thing about that CD is that it has a song on it that is not listed on the liner notes. It is a short version of Moon River at the very end of the CD. You can't select it wi... 
DYI system that simply was never heard off
I wouldn't say that my DIY stuff would put the Big Brands to shame, but it was all quite competitive with many of them, and certainly filled my needs.My Teres turntable was a kit, my tonearm is my DIY modded, my preamp is heavily modded, my previo... 
Morsiani TT/Tonearm
Travis, the warped records don't really change anything in the "closed loop" except that they are elevated off the platter somewhat in the area of the warp. Everything else remains the same, since the tonearm will move up and down with the warp, b...

Jimbo, it's easy to make the knot. You just take the two ends of the string together, and pass them both through a simple single loop, like you are tying off a balloon. The knot rides around the outside of the pulley, and doesn't make a "bump" as ... 
Morsiani TT/Tonearm
Hi Travis. The best route to find information on just about anything these days, is a thorough web search. I use Google primarily. It takes alot of sifting and reading, but that's the way research is. And also, you have to be well-grounded enough ... 
cartridge for a magnepan unipivot
No, you don't necessarily need a better arm. I was just trying to suggest a reasonably priced cartridge. If you want to spend more, maybe a Benz Glider would be nice on there.Just beware of the stuff like Koetsu or Shelter that might be too low in...

I haven't heard about Chris suggesting VHS tape for the belt. Is this something new? I've been using Spectra 15# fishing line, which is totally non-stretch, and is hard to tension correctly, but sounds real good. I've read some others on the Teres...

Hi Abe. Getting a great turntable is a very enjoyable experience. Glad you are happy with it. It took a "leap of faith" to get a turntable that you haven't heard before, so you reaped the benefits of your adventurous spirit. I also did that, as ha...

One of the lower priced Goldring cartridges would go nicely on there. Won't break the bank, sounds good, is MM so it will go in any phono section. 
RB600 Tonearm Spring Defeat - set to 0 or 3?
3 is it. 
Home Automation and High End Audio?
The X-10 system will only transmit a signal over your power wiring when you send a control signal to operate your lights, and it only lasts for a fraction of a second. It won't put anything on the line, other than that.I used to own a Home Automat... 
Supex Moving Coil Cartridge
For a cartridge of that quality and sound, with similar mechanical characteristics, you should consider the Shelter cartridges.
