| Grado/Rega Hum Fix the problem at the source. It is most likely due to a grounding or shielding issue. The RP3 being belt-driven is unlikely to be radiating enough EMI to bother the Grado, even though Grado is notorious for poor EMI rejection. First, determine w... | |
| Platter mat insanity @noromance the 1/4” thick mat that Technics supplied on the SL-1700mk2 and 1800mk2, 1600mk2 and SP-10mk2 and SP-10mk3 is very dense and much more rigid as a result. Its dense rubber compound makes it an excellent vibration isolator, making the abo... | |
| High-end TT setup with phono stage built in So the OP is on the pursuit of form over function. Maybe a trip to Walmart is the solution. Maybe accepting that an integrated amplifier or receiver with a built-in phono stage is the solution? | |
| Platter mat insanity Box head, I know it’s a good idea because of your reaction. 😂 😆 🤣 | |
| Platter mat insanity I am feeling much better about the design-intelligence in the 1/4” thick rubber mat on my Technics SL-1700mk2 turntables after this thread of conjecture. Seems Good ole Technics had it right all along, despite less than optimal tonearm geometry. Y... | |

| What is wrong with Audiogon Forums? The problem has not been fixed. | |
| Tonearm rewiring Rewiring a tonearm is not a casual endeavour as Matt Miller suggests. It does require a specific type of wire for both good conductivity and flexibility where it passes from the arm through the pivot and through the plinth to prevent it from causi... | |
| A trend I've noticed in ads. Deceptive and misleading advertisements are all too common everywhere on the Internet. Even on eBay and Amazon. I’ve been burned and both of those portals have supported the seller - because they get paid by them. There is a plague of cowards on s... | |
| What is wrong with Audiogon Forums? If it doesn’t work with Chrome, it’s going bye-bye as far as the majority of users are concerned. | |
| To power condition or not Power conditioners will only clean the power if it’s dirty. Have a licensed electrician do a power quality test and you’ll know how good (or bad) your power is. Regardless, a panel mounted TVSS is money well spent, as are decent quality TVSS-equip... | |
| CDs Vs LPs @atmasphere said:Maybe the next round of digital will be better, and the LP will finally go away.Ralph, I’ve been trying to wrap my head around DSD, but it’s not exactly “consumer-friendly”. Do you see any improvements on that front? Do you think... | |

| Help with DIY dedicated circuit @djones51 is correct in his last post, except for the terminology of phasing. In residential electrical systems, it is actually called “split phase”, which is because the utility supplies only one leg of a three phase feed, via a center-tapped sec... | |
| Power help A good UPS will cost somewhere in the neighbourhood of $1000 to $1500, depending on inverter output quality, battery capacity and inverter capacity. I was able to score a few surplus 1500VA Eaton 9130’s with one string of batteries (all you really... |
