Feickert Protractor - anyone use one?
Henry Yes using an arc protractor for some can wear patience fast,for me,by the third attempt every step became a whole lot easier. Setting up your Copperhead with the Feikert are you saying your stylus follows the inscribed arc of the Wally?One m... 
Feickert Protractor - anyone use one?
Halcro, sorry I don't quite understand your last paragraph, are you talking about measured pivot to spindle accuracy?An arc protractor such as your Wally that inscribes a specific arc your cartridge stylus follows and if set up is done correct you... 
Feickert Protractor - anyone use one?
Cartridge alignment is only one aspect of a turn table set up, however crucial.Agree, the Feikert protractor is convenient for set up of multiple brands of tone arms and cartridges, at best, a handy tool for a dealer.Now think about this , with al...

Crubio, Thanks for passing that along. 
Feickert Protractor - anyone use one?
You can read through my thread on this subject in the archives, to date over 14,000 veiws.However, you want far and away better precision for less then half the price?, look up MintLp in the archives preferably Stringreens thread on the subject. 
Classic Record's Super Profile II
Jfrech I haven't bought any vinyl in a while and only noticed Classic's red box set's release on display at a record store this past Thursday.No one at the store have listened to any of these Clarity SVP as of yet.While I was there I did buy Analo... 
Best copy of Wish You Were Here
Woodvale, "You have your work cut out". Concentrate finding copies on the Columbia Custom label. A CBS half speed release which I thought was good years ago is "pathetic" comparing them side by side.The few truly great sounding Rock Lps in my coll... 
Any feed back on McIntosh C2300 va Cary Audio slp0
Doug I bought a McIntosh 2300 recently from a fellow under financial stress. Wasn't looking for another preamp,it was totally an impulse buy.My first impressions of the c2300 is that it IS quiet with very low distortions that lets you hear into th... 
Graham Phantom on TW Acustic Raven?
Gerrym5It is a snap as Tdaudio points out. As others suggest above I also highly recommend the purchase of a Wally or a MintLp arc protractor for precise set up that goes well beyond the factory Graham jigs, as good and well thought out as they are. 
Les Paul dead at 84 nt.
Grinnel and Siliab , Good to hear a story like yours, anyone else? A few years back Les phoned a a.m. radio station up here in Canada,I believe 740 on the dial, the station plays Big Band and Jazz. The station host announced he had Les Paul on the...

Best, or ideal record clamp
A cost effective platform that does the job.One source is Galibier Design, somewhere on this web site is detailed information on building a sand box isolation platform. I built one a few years ago, it's good. Then there is Silent Running Audio, Mi... 
Best, or ideal record clamp
Do record clamps work with every turn table?....NoI would say many would benefit from a centre weight and or even a platter mat especially light weight platter design.Experiment and listen.Stanwal I agree with your friend with the Raven table, no ... 
McCartney Live?
Chashmal , I agree , McCarney pre 1970.However personally I wouldn't go as far as labeling him as a hack and has been.Though thinking about it as I type this, here's another issue.You would think the man learned a few thing's all these year's with... 
There is only one Ray Charles...
Blindjim, DCC was an American record label that put out re-issue's on vinyl and gold cd's, inevitably they went bankrupt in early 2000's.There are copies available do a search for this fine music here on Audiogon, E-Bay including other music sourc...
