| Do you let the turntable spin when putting down record and attach the clamp. Keep it running. Put record on, screw clamp. Reverse. G | |
| Question on VTF (What should i adjust it to?) Start at recommended VTF, listen a side, continue with lower or higher setting, listen again. At one point everything will blend with a good floating image like having a surround effect. Run in groove pop sound will be the first indication of bein... | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! Better records model is nice but I am not that eager to go after a single used lp for that money even knowing the sonic benefits.I do search for originals, best condition i can find, enlarging my library, so many things i do not have, and you neve... | |
| How to go about collecting Classical Music Mike,Used vinyl is the best way to go as many of them are in pristine condition nearly never played and in great pricing compared to anything else.Decca, Archiv, Philips, DG, EMI, TELDEC, have great recordings and performances. Next would be SACD,... | |
| New cartridge $500 range Hana SH, Goldring 1042, Nagaoka MP300, come to mind, all high outputs so no worries about extra transformers or cables or whatever. Even if you decide to upgrade your phono stage you would still have a good cartridge.G | |

| 6922 Tubes for Raysonic CD128 Haha just seen it.G | |
| Audiophile Fuses: Helpful or "Snake Oil"? Fuses are a limiting factor in current flow but as a safety component they are required, so no you would not replace wire with fuses but try to hear if that limiting factor is minimised. If you do then you did fine, otherwise you lost some cash.G | |
| What causes the music to hum and distort when playing a vinyl record Acoustic feedback. Try to isolate the tt.G | |
| The guru on fuses: No conclusion? if you need votes, I am +1 on fuses making a sonic difference also. We know that protection is required and Mr. Curl also honestly stated that measurements cannot be faithful if done statically-no explanation yet (work under progres... | |
| Audiophile Fuses: Helpful or "Snake Oil"? Helpful if you hear a difference, whatever else if you don't, at least try once and keep same values to originals for safety.G | |
