| Soundproof material for a dedicated room Most of the above suggestions will help; but only help. In order to truly soundproof a room you have to build a "room inside a room"; IOW, isolate the source of the sound as much as possible. This is what recording studios do, and there is a lot o... | |
| Electronic stylus force gauge question I will give it a shot, even if it's very early and my first cup has not kicked in yet. Any scale, digital or not, reacts to downward force which causes a downward mechanical action. The cartridge sits on a platform and the amount of downward force... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Ipad strikes again! Apology for double post. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nandric,I agree with you. But defensive? Not at all. Merely striving for clarity. Interesting, the parallel between how we each hear differently as well as how we each interpret the written word differently; no? Yes, part of my comment is in ... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? My comments are about the Acutex 420, in case its not clear. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? What the Acutex does correctly, and better than many other cartridges in my experience, is make sense of the dynamics-related aspects of a musical performance. In my prior comments about this cartridge (in another thread) I did not once make any r... | |
| The Audiophile's Wife I just re-read April/May; I am laughing hysterically. Your wife has a gift. I look forward to the next installments; they are missed. All best. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I look forward to Bruce T's comments! | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners ****When you feel you have it sounding as best as possible if at all possible please remove the shim and try to finesse the wires to get the cartridge on without a shim. To compare. The arm tube is CF but the head of it is not. I just realized thi... | |
| Help me choose a CL special - $200 Some things to consider:To my ears the Met 7's are the most interesting choice. They are classics that have some musical qualities that none of the others do; imo. They can sound really really good, and are very sophisticated little speakers. But ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Great tips Chris, and I couldn't agree more. When I started using higher pressure pumps a few years ago my Airtech surge tank literally exploded; in spite of the tank having a safety valve. The safety valve would not kick in until about 21 psi, an... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dover, I would think that the changes in the sound caused by varying the amount of torque are due to ensuing changes in the resonance characteristics of the arm. Regards. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Slaw, tuneful bass indeed. The Acutex on the ET makes the most realistic bass that I have ever gotten with my setup. Not just powerful (a lot of cartridges do that), the bass moves with the same rhythmic impetus as the rest of the frequency ran... | |
| Build a new system around pair of Snell Alll's? Good for you! BTW, your posts should be read by all the cynics who believe there are no decent dealers out there. Never heard the Magtech gear, but sounds like a great match for the Snells. Personally, I would look at a CAT preamp. Based on what s... |
