Recent retip(canti also) Dude where did my soundstage width go
Awesome @terry9. Tightening down the bolts and then loosening just enough so as not to completely throw off what progress toward the goal was really awkward and is what I imagine a zen excercise in composure and patience. Or analog bucket to hell....

Lewm, thanks for the heads up on a difference between crosstalk and channel imbalance. I did eventually do just as you suggested and set cart by eye and used the Foz to get left and right readings off the test record as close as I could before the...

Well, your assuming I can't or that just because somebody goes the route I have they can't. Thats quite a leap. I like to tweak what I have getting the most out I can and this goes for other things in life also. Not to knock anybody else's consume...

Hey Thanks ya'll. I'm still learning about set up and how precise it needs to be. I'm using a Feikert and a Fozgometer. I was getting strange readings with insane azimuth adjustments that were clearly not right. I realized then how sensitive the a...

Has anyone NOT listened to their system for a long time?
I've been down since the beginning of December. A blown transformer on my new to me Wright wpp200c phono pre. It's been a good break, reading again playing with my kid, helping my wife more with the little things. I think I and my family are bette... 
Speaker Suggestions for 300b SET Amp
I have Wright Sound Mono 8 paired with Decware HDT. Sounds good. 95db, single driver design. Cabinets are not small but large they are not either. You can see my virtual system page to see them in my somewhat small room.  
Vinyl from Barnes & Noble
I've bought from B&N a couple times.  No problems

Supra, AudioArt, AntiCable, the list can go on but it's a good and fun one.  
Why does all new pop music sound the same?
There is great pop music out there. I recently went to see some live music by somebody I'd never heard of. My audio buddy is more geared to new stuff and it was his idea. Ariel Pink was the nights entertainment. It was great! I honestly couldn't b...
