Ok, I desired to go to the bottom of it and found what was/is the problem with Shelter’s tendency for high static. First I checked the arm. Putting 3 different cartridges (with own head-shell) to my 3012I recognize that there was zero static du...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]We are at severe devaluation of reference points and nowadays any Moron with a rudimental knowledge of HTML and a few vocal cronies can become a “reputed manufacturer”. [/quote]Hi Romy, it is even worse. Based on the high n...

[quote user="Paul S"]But why would you consider brass connectors because of 95% of boutique RCA if the idea is to wind up with the best signal path?[/quote]Of course not because of that! The ideal would be the connector I've shown but made with pure ...

I thought about this for many years... but, to make the story short:I agree with that idea for Loudspeaker manufactures, this makes a bit sense, but even here you will have experiences, which will make you die 10 years earlier.Avant-Garde for example...

Since I posted at “My playback” that I’m using Micro Seiki MAX 282 tonearm I begun to receive emails asking about it’s User Manual. I sent out 5 of 6 of them to whoever asked - I do not know why people need it but if it was what they wanted. The funn...

I think it is quite helpful to have some information about VTA in general.In the 50's there was no cutting standard, that means, every Label did cut their records the way they wanted ( the angle for Mercury, RCA LS, Decca etc. are all different). At ...

Oh, David, come on! Can you for a second to stop to be a pretentious been counter and look at the picture from slightly more elevated perspective? I am glad that you do not worship the expensive parts, unique design, and precession of construction of...

This new “Rev B” Ortofone Jubilee surprised me with it amassing agreeability
I have a nasty habit to emphasize in my listening attention the things that I do not appreciate. I might listen something, would it be amp, or speaker, or live event,...

[quote user="perrew"]FWIW Ive heard people with Reed arms like the Red Cedar, which is also the cheapest alternative, arm wands due to neutral sound.The Panzerholz is heavier and some think might be too heavy for 12" arm. [/quote]

Don't we always go through this same discussion regardless if it is an amplifier, speaker, turntable, DAC (wine, cigars, frying pans)? Don't the arguments keep repeating themselves? Don't we all agree that IF a turntable NEEDS to cost 125K that somet...

I keep receiving emails asking me and complimenting me about this “Chernobyl Arm”. I have difficulties to estimate the worth of the entire project and the most important to pass the value of this worth to others. The project was very valuable f...

Romy, Just a few notes.... I did use the term "crappy" in the connection with the tonearm in an ironic sense. Have you lived so long among US Americans you lost your sense of irony? Also, i do not suggest crappy Phonostages, merely ones with low inpu...

Not that physics is my strong suit, but casually watching a physics youtube video this thought crossed my mind.
I wonder if gyroscopes can be used in a turntable to improve it's performance without reverting to ultra high mass system...

that makes any sense, including the classic SME arms the anti-skating force pushes
