DIY cables Vs Mass market cables.
Robm, 'you will get better sound than.....your DIY wire I imagine' surely that is a Freudian slip. Of course you are 'imagining' the 'better' sound.With respect, Bob P. 
How to properly set VTF??
Raul, I think that is what I have been trying to say - set the VTF (0.1g accuracy is enough) at any position on the record and then enjoy the music after doing a further adjustment by ear.Your description of all of the other parameters that might ... 
DIY cables Vs Mass market cables.
Pabelson, your cynicism shows, but I agree with you.My DIY Canada Wire 12ga Red Heater wire, non terminated, sound the same as the 16ga lamp cord that I previously used.Bob P. 
How to properly set VTF??
dan_ed, And I am sure that the Winds repeatability will not be much better than +/- 0.02g, ie. that it will vary easily every day by that amount. just not worth the money. Stick with your Shure gauge and your ears.Salut, Bob P. 
How to properly set VTF??
Dan_ed, 'All this being said, I think that we do all agree that getting it really close with the gauge and then adjusting by ear is the way to go.' Yes.We are disagreeing on how close one needs to get before adjusting by ear.BTW, have you ever you... 
How to properly set VTF??
Sirspeedy, sounds like you have a winning formula. I am sure that your formula for dialing in the vinyl playback would work just as well with a 0.1g resolution VTF measurement, however! Sometimes just adjusting the tone controls (ee gads, tone con... 
How to properly set VTF??
Sirspeedy, the reason that AS is not a good idea with uni-pivot arms is that the horizontal vector imposed at the stylus will cause a unipivot to twist and drive the stylus out of azymuth (and also lower the VTF, due to the upward vector imposed b... 
HELP, Pls - re Automatic Turntables, Vintage/New
A good B&O 4002 turntable is just what you grandfather needs and would appreciate. Fully automatic, and large controls and it sounds just as good as the other automatic turntables recommended, but looks much better. 
How to properly set VTF??
Sirspeedy, unless you have a dynamic load cell at the stylus, you really don't know the 'true' VTF at any given place on the record. If you think that because you reset your VTF to 1.87 that you are getting 1.87 every time, then you are mistaken! ... 
The choice of wall receptacles
Shouldn't those be called wall 'outlets'? 
1000.00 to spend what would you buy?
A good high resolution frequency spectrum analyzer. You will be amazed a how much one learns from knowing the frequency response of various elements (including room) in one's system and how changes in the system affect the frequency response. Chan... 
How to properly set VTF??
Since the sound that you are getting is perfectly satisfactory, use either method. The next time that you 'calibrate' the VTF, just remember to use the same method. Again, this illustrates the futility of 'ultra' precision in VTF measurements. 
Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity?
TBG, about engineering, my degree shows as Bsc. of Applied Science, Chemical Engineering. Much 'basic' research is done by engineers, BTW.As for large planets 'falling' faster than smaller ones, I would rethink that if I were you, even if it does ... 
Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity?
TBG, many a person who claims common sense, believes that heavier objects fall faster than lighter ones - that is just common sense, isn't it? In fact I think that those persons would probably claim that they have 'seen' the proof that heavier obj... 
Vinyl lovers--in case you haven't tried this yet
It is precisely that 'air' introduced by playing a mono disc in stereo that is the reason that vinyl is preferred to CD play. That 'air' is also due (beside the noise)to the phase difference between the channels that is introduced into the vinyl p...
