| Best Cartridge for VPI Aries orig + JMW 10.5 ? Melm, when you learn something about tonearm design, let me know. Then we might be able to have a productive discussion.FYI, I HAVE used a DL103 on many different tonearms, but only an idiot would even try one on a JMW. If you think that this is n... | |
| Left channel produces NO sound.......Help needed It depends upon whether the center pin or the outer ring is causing the problem. If the outer ring is loose, you can squeeze it down a little with a pair of pliers. If the center pin is not making a good connection, you might be able to slightly b... | |
| get vinyl rig or audio aero capital Well, I'd say you can't ignore the fact that your CD collection far exceeds your vinyl collection, so that has to be a major factor. However, I do think that you already have quite a competent digital system, so that may open up the door for an an... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long The Well-Tempered Arm is already pretty well damped. There is sand in the arm tube, and a big glob of silicone under the bottom of the stabilization disc. If anything, it may even be over damped. I strongly doubt that you are getting any ringing f... | |

| Left channel produces NO sound.......Help needed Try swapping the Left and Right phono cables that go into the EAR. If the problem changes channels, then it is somewhere in the turntable rig. If the problem remains on the left channel, then it is in the EAR. | |
| How often do you demagnitize your MC cartridge? I'd say six nines is pretty pure copper. | |
| Back-Up Low Output MC For My Arkiv B? Yes, the 103S is available from Denon USA for about $250, I think. David99 got one recently, and put it on his Oracle/Alphason rig, and he loves it. | |
| Anyone seen the ad for free Mi-Horns? Oh boy! | |
| Back-Up Low Output MC For My Arkiv B? Marty, the regular 103 for $150 is the conical, although I have heard some refer to it as spherical. Either way, it is a very small contact section. This stylus shape is much more forgiving regarding alignments, than elliptical or especially line ... |
