TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ?
@rauliruegas I don't have time to read 250 pages. I've got to finish my wife's vanity. Look, what's happening down there is rather simple. There is a diamond stylus tracing  groove at something like 60,000 psi. while the cartridge and everything e... 
You don't lack bass, you have too much treble
@erik_squires  And just what do you think you are going to do about bass in any normally sized residential space? Most audiophiles know that bass below 100 Hz is poorly localized. The dimensions of the room are of primary importance followed by th... 
Schroder Tonearms - where do I purchase? are there authorized sellers in US?
I'll make @jymc the armrest for the price of the parts and shipping. That would be about $25.00   
Schroder Tonearms - where do I purchase? are there authorized sellers in US?
@cfarrow I thought about the Taycan, but I really needed a pickup truck, so I got a TRX. I had a 2014 Turbo S, but sold it after 5 years. I liked driving my old C4S better and the Turbo languished in the garage. The 06 C4S has the right look and t... 
TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ?
@rauliruegas I should be more specific and lass abrupt. There are some tonearm cartridge combinations that will benefit from damping. There is more to resonance than just the frequency at which it occurs, there is also sensitivity, amplitude and ... 
Schroder Tonearms - where do I purchase? are there authorized sellers in US?
@jafox 1+ I should note that @jymc needs a tonearm board specifically for his Sota that takes into account the weight of the Schroder arm. Suspended turntables always need the tonearm/tonearm board weight to be within a specific range or the reson... 
Choosing a new turntable
@elliottbnewcombjr I hate to pop your bubble, but one great tonearm is way better than two cheap ones. Dust covers should be isolated and hinged so they can be used during play. A good thick acrylic dust cover can attenuate sound up to 10 dB at so...

@cfarrow my 911 is an 06 C4S manual. What are you driving? @jymc I also own a Cosmos Eclipse Vacuum! On it is a Schroder CB. Artisan Fidelity is a good choice. Sota has now installed CBs on it's turntables and will make you a tonearm board drille... 
You don't lack bass, you have too much treble
@minorl The problem for most audiophiles is they have no idea what they are listening to. They have no reference. The best thing you can do is invest in a usb microphone and an acoustic measurement program. Then when you get a equalizer you will k... 
TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ?
@rauliruegas, @dogberry AB testing damping methods is easy. You make a 24/192 recording of each condition you want to compare then have a friend do the switching so you are blinded. Digital recordings at that bit rate and frequency are invisible. ... 
TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ?
@rauliruegas If you have mistracking problems with the tonearms you are using you need to try different arms or maybe try increasing the VTF. You do not want to know what I think about Townsend. I assure you that I am VERY sensitive to that type o... 
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
@tlcocks Not entirely true TL. Room control is going to change amplitude response across the entire audio band and it will give you a flat system to start with. All the Room Control units I know of also allow users to control amplitude just like a... 
VPI Avenger Plus vs J Sikora Standard Max
@seldenr You sure know how to pick terrible turntables.  You are shopping for looks. If you want a sharp looking great turntable get a Basis Inspiration or the Avid Acutus, Oracle Delphi, SME 30/12, Dohmann Helix, Air Force III Premium S, and the ... 
Comparison of sonic qualities of some tonearms
@terry9 Those files are rigged. I know the Atlas SL real well. I am listening to one as we speak playing Alice in Chains, "Dirt." @lewm is correct, "something is broken." I might also add that Mr Fremer suffers from severe presbycusis according to... 
You don't lack bass, you have too much treble
@minorl And, what level of smoothing are you using? How many speaker systems actually produce sonically accurate bass down to 18 Hz at the listening position? I'll give you a hint. It has a diameter of three mm. There is no such thing as a system ...
