Jo No. 5 mounting problem
Just to add a little, I tried the No 5 on 2 type IV arms as well as my IV.5i and none would fit the cartridge.  Down the road I acquired a 309 for other purpose and was surprised to find that the No 5 fits OK on the 309. The drawings on the old S... 
Please Help. J. A. Michell Gyro SE - Speed Issue
For what it's worth--I had a similar issue with an Ariston table.  The platter was spinning really fast and kept speeding up.  I took the table to a local stereo repair shop and the problem turned out to be dirty potentiometers in the speed adjust... 
how to remove a woofer from b@w801n
I watched/helped a tech remove my 801N woofers.  The driver is held in by the perimeter screws, and there is a paper gasket around the edge.  IIRC the connectors are not hard-wired.  Removal is much easier with the speaker laying on it's back.  Th... 
Basic question - connect McIntosh integrated amp to LS360 speakers?
Basic answer.   Interconnects and speaker wires are different things.  Interconnects are terminated with rca plugs or din connectors and are used to connect things like CD players to the amplifier.  Speaker wires are basically twinlead wires term... 
"Can You Lift Yours?"
OK, I have a story.  My MC2000 weighs 135 lb. and I had it stacked vertically above 2 monoblocks also stacked.  The MC2000 was on the top shelf sitting on a BDR Shelf for the Source (about 35 lb. I think) sitting on racing cones. I was moving to ... 
Listen with your skin.
Do any of you recall the articles some years ago about the deaf gentleman who listens with his hands holding a balloon?  He had serious systems, and said he could discern differences in cabling.  I suspect that his experience included more of his ... 
Why can't I load thumb drives?
Thank you for your suggestions.  You have answered the basic question I had, whether or not a thumb drive is useable. I will format and proceed accordingly. Thanks again, Bill  
Why can't I load thumb drives?
I have tried 3 different thumbdrives and every time the copy begins OK but slows down to almost nothing after a few GB, and starts indicating errors in the files.  Finally I give up.   As I said above, a friend told me that memory chips are just ... 
Why can't I load thumb drives?
My mistake.   gigabytes, not megabytes, and copy not transfer. I was tired... Bill  
Worth upgrading from MC611 to MC901?
FWIW-I run MC1000s and an MC2000 into N801s in a similar  configuration.  Adding the MC2000 was a definite improvement in my listening experience and I have no regrets. I don't know what kind of an alternative you mean, but if I were in your posi... 
Harmonic Technology Magic Link soldering issues
I run 2 pairs of 7m Pro Silway II to my amps.  My amps are McIntosh with vertical jacks which stress the cables.  3 of the cables started giving problems, and when I inspected the ends I discovered what I considered to be really poor workmanship i... 
Tonearm for vintage mm cartridges
I would add the SME series 3 to your list.  Designed for what you have in mind. Bill  
Thorens TD-320
Also, this this type of mounting is for non-threaded cartridges.  I think that your Hana has threaded metal inserts in it's mounting holes and I don't see how you can mount it on the TP16 headshell.  Maybe there's a way... Bill  
Thorens TD-320
Hi Joe I just looked at photos of both arms.  The TP90 arm photos all showed conventional looking cartridge mounts on what looked like standard plug-in type headshells.  The TP16 arm turned out to be the arm I recently installed a cartridge in.  ...
