| LAST Record Preservative. Do you believe? I found that Stylast formed a coating on my stylus. The more I used it(thinking the stylus was dirty) the worse the sound got! I finally caught on and stopped using it and the the sound got better with every record! Cheers,Rainer S. | |
| I have the dreaded hum Try a different set of interconnects | |
| Tice Elite 3 Line Conditioner TO 2 prongs old wiri I would say that if a line conditioner has a ground pin it should have ground. Your low voltage readings on some of your ground sockets may be due to having a voltmeter with high impedance and wiring with not so good insulation and what you are re... | |
| Wow/Flutter and Speed Stability Looks cool, but the whole thing depends on how much wow & flutter is on the test record. Not much mention is made of what is on the test record or how accurate it is. I use a scope to set up my turntable but don't worry about wow & flutter... | |
| Records are getting noisy I totally agree, just about all my newer reoords (purchased within the last 2 years) are noisier than the ones I bought in the 80's. The worst was the re-release of pink floyd DSOTM. Extremely disappointing and almost turned me off of buying any m... | |
| Tonearm pivot lube Thanks Dan_ed, I downloaded the Psx-800 manual but it doesn't mention anything about lubricating or adjusting the tone-arm pivots either. They are probably assuming that anyone getting that involved would know what to do. I still would like to kno... | |

| Tonearm pivot lube Thanks for the info. The arm is a Bio-Tracer on a Sony linear tracker. I was a little hesitant to mention this as either Sony, or it seems linear tracking, get very little respect from the audiophile community. There does not appear to be lube on ... | |

| phono Cartridge warranties Has anyone actually ever gotten warranty on a phono cartridge? | |
| black touchup paint? Check your automotive supplier. The best one I found I think is called "No-Mar" or something like that. It seams to match well with most semi-gloss to flat black finishes. It comes in a spray can however so I don't know how handy this will be. | |

| Grounding Hum Try flipping the AC plug-ins around in their sockets one at a time. If your on split phase with ground return this could help. Let me know if this helps and I will explain why it does. | |
| The best phono stage out there? Salectric has it right. The "best" phono stage can only be the one built to match the system and listening environment. | |
| Sumiko Blackbird Tracking Force please help Play around with the tracking force, it makes a big difference on the sound quality your going to get out of the cart. I don't think that your going to get proper performance under 1.8 grams though. You might find that you may even have to go to 2... |
