| Binding Post Jumpers - New Product!!! @loftarasa - Yes - the binding posts can be a "hindrance". But so can the Bananas and the actual wire used.If you look at the photo of the jumpers you will see that the neutral jumper has a twisted geometry and is of a thicker gauge. This is the d... | |

| Why are the vocals on some records hidden behind the music on my system? @scooby2do - In my previous post I mentioned that the top of the cartridge should be parallel to the playing surface to achieve the correct SRAHow do you accomplish that?Some arms - like the rega has a tapered arm tube, so setting the arm parallel... | |
