I currently have the Ultra in my system. You will be very pleased to make the jump to it. It is way ahead of the Super cables that were replaced here.Brad 
Graham tonearm tweaking
Jeff ss, I would be interested in a copy of the article you are putting together for the Graham tonearm. Let me know how to get a copy of it.Thanks,Brad 
proper loading on cartridge
You guys are always good for a laugh!! Thanks for the good advice, and all of the responding that you all do. I can usually count on finding one of you on a thread that I am reading. 
Graham tonearm tweaking
Thanks for the informative post SirSpeedy. I spent all day yesterday dialing in the loading on my cartridge, and I now need to tweak the arm itself. I will use your guidelines to start that process. Already I am impressed with the sound of the arm... 
MG-1 Air Bearing Tonearm? Anyone experience it?
let us know your results, I have been thinking the same thoughts about that arm. 
Any opinions on the new Transparent MM
I just found this thread. I would also like to know, it this an improvement, or marketing to sell cables, much like the new car models each year? 
turntable upgrade VPI or CLEARAUDIO?
FX, thanks for the help. I have done what I think is a good job setting up the table, as I have had quite a few, including another WT. Regarding the silicon, when you said "covered by 1 to 2 mm", are you refering to the entire paddle immersed in f... 
turntable upgrade VPI or CLEARAUDIO?
Thanks for the help on this matter. I don't have a copy of the owner's manual, so I called and spoke with Stanalog a while back. I think that I must not have the damping correctly set for the Clearaudio Discovery cartridge to work up to potential.... 
My new Well Tempered and opinions as to Isolation
Jimbo3, how do you get the silk string to ride at the apex of the crowned pulley on the motor? I have tried string and it always rides down, slowing down the rotational speed. I have a classic table currently. Long live well tempered! Brad 
What amplifiers should I consider ?
FWIW: If you havn't made a purchase yet, I recently upgraded my amplifier to a Krell KSA 250. this 250 watt class A powerhouse literally took ahold of the hard to drive Hales Rev III's that I have and made them sound like speakers costing 3 times ... 
Your Opinions Please Regarding VPI TT's
Williamsims, I ditto your comment that a dealer can ultimately be the best help in making sense of the endless choices out there. I spent years forging ahead on my own, reading the "reviews" in the mags, and only recently rekindled a 15 year old r... 
Well tempered platter problem?
Thanks for both of your responses, but I wasn't very clear on the movement in question. Here goes:When pressing on the left side of the platter, nearest the motor, which should "tighten" the bearing, there is movement, quite alot actually. I know ... 
Transparent Ultra or Super?
I still havn't had time to pull the speakers out into the room, although they are about 54" from the wall now. I have had a chance to listen and compare the super to the ultra xl cables, and they are an immediate improvement.What I am wondering, i... 
Transparent Ultra or Super?
I am not considering buying new cables. I think that the midrange bloat that I have been hearing is due to more of the music coming through and pointing out a poor room acoustic phenomena. I will try to pull the speakers out into the room and see ... 
Well Tempered Labs out of business?
Thanks for the responses, but I have tried to contact Stanalog for 4 weeks now, they won't answer the phone, or return my e-mails. I called Transparent Audio, and they told me that they have turned everything over to Stanalog.Any one else have the...
