| Help me understand cartridge alignment Am having JR at WAM scope 2 cartridges. One can be brought to nearly perfect alignment in azimuth, SRA and zenith. The other has too much error to be compensated , even with shims. Personally prefer this scientific method rather than trial and er... | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? I just can't find much new music that catches my interest.Oh how I wish I could | |
| Symptoms of UN-CLEAN power Bright, harsh, shrill. And this was from an all tube system. Fast forward to Equi Tech and Balanced Power Technologies. Also, in my system power cords do make a difference. Looking to move to the country though. Will report back. | |
| Do Turntables sound better with time? I agree that we accommodate to the nuances of our components over time. At the same time it could be possible your system/turntable has found its groove so to speak. Probably a little of both. I've recently made a few changes and to be honest hav... | |
| Cartridge Alignment To do it right, and there is probably no component that needs to be done right moreso than a tt/cart, I would suggest that you look into Boisclaire's website. Or give him a call. Tools there to help. Or you can call, very easy to talk to. . | |
| Transparent interconnect Cable, Super versus ultra Anyone know if Transparent has a good trade in policy? About to try out a Super phono cable may want to compare Ultra.. | |
| Do speaker cables really make a difference ? How about one's perception involving speaker cables you may enjoy thoroughly on a trial loan but they're the most expensive? I mean, I don't want to like them better but it's pretty undeniable as to the benefit. I want to like lamp cord better. ... | |

Having gone to single ended some factors have improved due to upgraded com... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi guys, I'm a new owner here as I am having the ET 2 mounted on a table and shipped soon. Appreciate the thread. | |

| Which would you choose for good sounding tube preamp for an audiophile new to tubes. Supratek. | |
| Phono stage options - balanced with XLR both input and output... Pretty sure the BAT (Balanced Audio Technology) phono stages are balanced in and out. Had a VK p 10 SE with Supercaps that was outstanding Older unit though, and after 20 years became noisy. | |
| Do you spend more time analyzing the sound of your system, worrying it could be better? The better lt sounds the less fretting. Had a bit of work to do to get there. Now that it sounds great I'm happy. Had a goal and spent time, money, lots of what I suppose was critical listening, now I can enjoy. It wasn't easy. | |
| GIK alternatives Have used GIK for years, no problem. Happy to see Glenn communicate through this forum. | |
| Western Electric surveying market for (domestic?) mfg. of other tube types? NOS 6L6s are hard to find. Pretty common usage. KR tubes sell pretty well and aren't cheap by any means. Can vouch as I just purchased a dozen KT88s from them. Don't know the market by any means but having spent a great deal on equipment, don't h... |
