| Azimuth observations and importance I think I see. If it is what I'm thinking then Hiho's premise would apply to fixed bearing arms that also cant the headshell. Nothing new here. Even so, the fact that there is a small range for either adjustment to be made without significant chan... | |
| Azimuth observations and importance Hiho, I am sorry. I have read your last two post several times and I cannot grasp what it is you are saying about bearing angles and AS and VTA. Can you explain that in simple terms? | |
| Tube Diagnosis I don't believe I ever found much difference with 6922s back when I owned a Rhea, at one time, and later a pair of Rogue mono-blocks. They either had noise or sucked, or both. Or they didn't. Nothing that really stood out. Granted I never chased h... | |
| Tube Diagnosis Try Larry's suggestion first, it could be dirty pins. You can use a pencil eraser. If you have alcohol wipes use one of those after erasing the pins. | |
| Prevent stylus wear? WOW! And a hearty welcome to 5 new comers in this thread. :-) | |
| Prevent stylus wear? Feedback from you and your imaginary friends doesn't count. :-) | |
| basis 1400 belt & cartridge I think you should seriously consider selling the 1400 to someone who will treat it right. You could probably get $600-700 for it. | |
| Prevent stylus wear? This would be very insulting if it weren't so laughable. We are supposed to be so stupid we can't tell that the same person registered under 4 different names. C'mon, at least do it on separate days or something.I would alert the moderators but th... | |
| Granite under wood for better isolation? Again, I have that exact setup with my Gavia and you can definitely hear any rapping on the granite, sandbox, stand, and in one recent case, on the concrete floor. I've now added Stillpoints between my gavia and the granite shelf. I think there is... | |
| 10 Commandments of a Vinyl Audiophile forget about "being an audiophile", enjoy music, tolerate equipment. | |
| When It All Comes Together-Heaven Now it's time for a couple of your audio buddies to come over and tell you what all sounds wrong to them. :-) | |
| What adhesive is used to re-tip a cartridge? I'm curious why you asked the question here. Did no one on VA know the answer? | |
| What adhesive is used to re-tip a cartridge? Steve, thanks for filling in the blanks. Kind of makes the thread title a rhetorical question. ;-)I understand what you are saying about the ruby cantilever. Peter repaired my XV-1s a few years back. I agree that it does alter the sound, however f... | |
| What adhesive is used to re-tip a cartridge? Why do this? How do you know that the superglue, loctite, or anything else tried, didn't mess with the other materials in that area? I realize the 501 isn't all that great, but this probably detracts even more from its value. No? | |
| New amp being touted as among the best ever...... Another company claims their latest product is . Why would anyone take this marketing crap seriously without hearing it? |
