| The best plug in filter ever! @dogberry this would be a good thing to have evaluated by audiosciencereview. for the “science.” otherwise it’s like Reiki or homeopathy, unable to withstand RCT scrutiny beyond placebo efficacy. (BTW, what I’ve learned since med school in the... | |
| The best plug in filter ever! So this isn’t a “pass-through” unit, but goes into another wall socket? “I have used Puron in the same Duplex that has the Mains for my Core Power 1000. I’ve also used two Purons – in that same Duplex, as well as Position One on the CPT 1K.” I’... | |
| Phono Cartridge Purchase from Asia? I bought a Benz Micro Glider SL two years ago from KRON. Just weeks later I got Covid, and literally forgot all about the cartridge I’d put aside for later. I’d even posted here asking for input on choosing another cartridge when I realized I al... | |
| Best Alignment Protractor? @dogberry I’d considered buying one of several “pricey” alignment jigs(protractors, gadgets) while using an SME 3009 S2 tonearm with several cartridges.., I was using basic Hudson HiFi (my dog’s name is Hudson - seemed like a no-brainer) tools an... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Emerson, Lake & Palmer https://a.co/d/5kYiush Wasn’t until I got it in my hands I realized it was cut from digital sources not studio tapes (aren’t they all these days?). Still, fifty years (more) since I played a cassette tape of this rec... | |

| SME V service manual/parts list Gotta say it really helped talking to someone who has rehab'd hundreds (thousands) of these tonearms and discuss some of the details of the workings of the things. THAT made a world of difference. Kudos to Alfred for not trying to make me out to... | |
| SME V service manual/parts list Long talk with Alfred Kayser at SME tonearms just now. Sage advice: don’t F with it, use a digital scale. May send in for rebuild/wiring soon. thanks for all the suggestions and feedback. | |
| SME V service manual/parts list @noromance I think that’s about right. The digital scales are So much better than the old beam-balance devices in general. Ortofon makes a digital for around $120 that is accurate to about 0.001gm - 1 mg - (IIRC, there are several cheaper digita... | |
| SME V service manual/parts list @dekay I turned the wheel back and forth several times, MAX, slightly above 3,0 hits 3.36-3.37 consistently. Then I backed off a bit. 3+ = 3.36 3=3.17 2.5 = 2.61 2 = 2.10 1.75 = 1.87 1.5 = 1.60 1 = 1.25 Then again, and again, “forci... | |
| SME V service manual/parts list I'm really good at following graphic instructions. I can't fault the SME user manual in that regard, step by step this is the easiest setup I could hope for. Yes, @dekay, I did rebalance - dead nuts neutral, just a HAIR forward (but not 0.25gm wo... | |
