| Tonearms without anti-skate, damage to records? And you have just proved, Elliott, why we should all be glad you are staying around! There was a recent and rather long thread about a tonearm with no headshell angle, and designed to be mounted with underhang, rather than overhang. The designer ... | |
| 5GHz wifi signal interrupting bluetooth headphones That link looks like it's advertising some dodgy software. | |
| I feel it is time to upgrade my 1977 system....... You’ve answered none of my questions. Good bye and good luck. Less than six hours after posting the questions? Patience, grasshopper! There is no doubt things have changed since 1977, and that budget allows for lots of possibilities. But I'd... | |
| Goodbye Everyone Come on, the results of this horse race were announced long ago in this post. Now if you really want an enjoyable bet, try this one: will I ever comment in a thread about cables or power conditioners again at SHF? The going is wet, the jockey is ... | |
| Vinyl static ionizers who's used them? There's an obvious effect that the Destat III has in letting a rocket blower remove dust that otherwise won't blow off. I'm not aware of hearing static pops one way or the other, so I do this just my stylus's sake. There is something unclear to m... | |
| Rumble showed up on NEW record??? @cey You're right, I should have said 'if no music is being played' ie stylus on dead vinyl. | |
| Cadenza Bronze on a Fatboy Following a procedure I saw on YT (by Ortofon), I get the cantilever roughly right as a way of getting the SRA in the ballpark. Then I can do the more fiddly photos of the stylus itself to get that adjusted as close to 92 as I can. Then I go and c... | |
| Cadenza Bronze on a Fatboy Here's a photo of my Cadenza Bronze when I started to align it. The protractor is set to measure the cantilever angle, and you can tell the back of the cartridge needs to drop a bit more for the SRA to be right. My later pics were all zoomed in on... | |
| One of the great things about Vinyl @oddiofyl Thanks, it is only temporary as I can now use MC cartridges. I think I'm going to buy a record cleaner next and then experiment with a nice MC I think you have your priorities right! Clean records are much bigger improvement over a... | |
| Goodbye Everyone I'm yapping away again, (now an obligation) until my buttt hurts, then down to listen to some music. Does having three 't's in your butt improve the soundstage, as it were? | |
| Rumble showed up on NEW record??? And for future reference, rumble is a result of TT motor/spindle bearing noise, and is independent of the record being played. It is something you should hear (if you are unlucky enough to have it in sufficient quantity) whenever the turntable spi... | |
| Goodbye Everyone Photo forums can be as touchy as hi-fi forums. I have pretty much stuck with film as I have the skills and like to keep them alive. While I have sold all my Leicas, I do still visit a film thread on a big Leica forum, where any kind of film photo ... | |
| KT66s in place of KT88 tubes Oh, yes, I'm au fait with all that, and the 'more tubey' sound was what I had in mind. I know there will be a lot of internal changes to make, now, after talking to the guy I use to keep my Quads in repair (for example, he has already replaced the... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! My best box speakers were Castle Winchesters, and my best transmission line (sans box) were Time Frame TF700s. I liked them both, and still do when I have to put them in service. Now I have never even heard a Magnepan, but I have owned Quad electr... | |
| KT66s in place of KT88 tubes @jjss49 Thanks. I was rather hoping using KT66 tubes in place of KT88 would make my amps sound a little more like the SET amps I used to have. And maybe, from your description (if I look at it in a positive light rather than the reverse) they woul... |
