Static Control Will A Mat Help
Is it possible that a copper mat could cause static? 
Berkeley vs Antelope anyone compared ?
I'm looking forward to your impressions. I'm going to AB mine against some other DACs soon. 
Confused about compliance matching with airbearing
Yeah, I do think the counterweight was overlooked. The damping trough is attached to the horizontal moving mass asemmbly....interesting. 
Confused about compliance matching with airbearing
The ET2 is quite low mass then. I'm at about 60grams with cart, counterweight, and entire arm assembly on the MG1.

Thanks for your impressions CB. Seems like they are very well designed. One impression someone related to me:"Looks like a pretty amazing deck & I can see the problems he's has developing it & his solutions for them. It is very similar to ... 
Anybody have the Feickert Adjust + program?
Another major bonus is the Plus version can use .wav files as a source for analysis. 
Confused about compliance matching with airbearing
Airbearings have a much higher lateral mass than fixed pivot. Seems Trans-Fi is about 80g (stock), MG1 appears to be about 65g with Grado. More worried about stressing the ruby cantilever with a really high comp. cart.

Thanks. Vic sound the Tomahawk has been well-received. I would like to use the high compliance (28cu) Voice cart.

Thanks, can you tell me more about the CF sled? 
Dynavector XV-1s vs. Soundsmith The Voice?
I see. So you thought you were getting the 22cu model but got the 28. I have a wood body version on the way.

Is there an easy azimuth adjustment?I'm curious about why the total lateral mass is listed at 80g, when the lateral effective mass of my MG1 is about 30g.What pump do you use? 
Wyred DACS
@ bhobbaWhat settings were you using in JRiver?That actually have a new WASAPI mode out now (this week). 
Dynavector XV-1s vs. Soundsmith The Voice?
Any news on the Voice? I'm waiting for one. 22cu model. 
getting azimuth right
Read the Skala data; crosstalk with mm only takes you so far.http://www.adjustplus.de/Download/AP_Azimuth_Compendium_english.pdf

Read the Feickhart manual. It's VERY interesting. Once you plot for phase and CT, you can dial in VTA, something a mm won't allow you to do. You don't need the software but using a digital oscope/VUs would allow you to plot all this like they do.
