| New Vinyl I just came from their web site. The vast majority of their catalog is sold out. One Bach disc goes for 500 sterling. It is all mastered on old equipment and does not mention who is doing the pressing. I already have an excellent Riverside copy of... | |
| The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth Halcro, you are intentionally misleading people. There are many myths in Hi Fi. This is not one of them. https://www.ortofon.com/support/support-hifi/resonance-frequency/ | |
| Resistors Nic, either will do. Makes no difference. | |
| Help building first tube system. Hi Walstib, I think Tomic has it right. Start with the speakers. You really have to go listen. Would you buy a car without looking and driving first?The speakers will 95% determine the sound of the system. Stand mounts are fine but you may want to... | |
| GaN, Hypex & ICEpower Oh, I have yet to audition an Atma sphere amp. These are class A amps which may have a longer life you just replace the tubes. | |
| GaN, Hypex & ICEpower Infecion, it depends on your speakers. If they are reasonably efficient I would favor the Manleys. I have yet to hear a Class D amp I can warm up too other than the now defunct TACT amps which really operated in a different way. They were actually... | |
| Frustrated with Vinly Chakster, I'm with you on minimal care required and if there is no static any sleeve will do although the paper ones do get crappy after a while.However the issue of new vs vintage vinyl is extremely variable. I have many old European classical re... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-54 Tonearm. ANTI-SKATE??? Elliot has already proven that the anti skate is too heavy for a VTF of 1.5 gm. He put the stylus down in the run out area and it immediately drifted out.Elliot, just for fun disable the anti skate by lifting the bob up with your finger and place ... | |
| Love it when it snows Earth's environment has been changing for approximately 4.5 billion years give or take 50 million and it will continue to change. The next little wiggle on it's axis and we will be back in another ice age. Humans will do what they always do, accom... | |
| Subwoofer matching Kalali, the idea that a smaller subwoofer is faster is incorrect. Given appropriately designed motors a 15" sub is just as fast as a 10" sub. The 15" driver does not have to move as far to produce the same output so typically larger drivers have l... | |
| What creates the effortlessness in sound reproduction? Huy, it is mostly the amplifier, speakers and room. You need an amp that can effortlessly drive the speakers to 110 dB. This will depend on the efficiency of the speakers. The speakers have to be peak free or even a little depressed (3 dB) in the ... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-54 Tonearm. ANTI-SKATE??? Exactly. Make that lighter weight and see how it tracks the run out area between grooves. It should just barely drift towards the spindle. | |

| Fidelity Research FR-54 Tonearm. ANTI-SKATE??? Elliot, thinking about it, I would not grind that weight down. I would just make a new anti skate bob with some light fishing line and lead fishing weights. Lead is very soft and easy to trim. Mike | |
| Fidelity Research FR-54 Tonearm. ANTI-SKATE??? Elliot, there is no direct relationship between tracking force and the weight of the anti skate bob. I do believe there was an add on weight that threaded into the bob. At any rate, set up your cartridge and tonearm. When you place the needle in t... |
