Yes. Good point!Best,Roy

Eyeglasses lenses reflect and diffract higher frequency sounds into your ears, a form of noise that overrides much information, including some soundstage-width information. Listen to a recording with horns and one with tambourines with and without... 
Thiel death do we part . . .
Mapman is right about the Blue Point being coarse and not as musical as it could be. Try a new Ortofon Red or Blue at least. Other modern carts are good, such as those from Denon, Dynavector, and Goldring, but these Ortofons and the latest cartrid... 
Tweeter type and brightness
It is not difficult to overlook the few paragraphs donated to what this man's company produces and how there, they all like the results of engineering and design that far exceed the 20kHz bandwidth.He presents the findings of many other scientists...

This is a very informative article from Enjoy the Music:The World Beyond 20kHz.Best regards,Roy Johnson 
Micro Seiki MB-18
Good advice, David, thanks.I did not realize the anti-skating was that far off on that arm.Best,Roy 
Micro Seiki MB-18
Hi Guitarman,Look up the Manual for the model MB-14 on the Vinyl Engine website. In it, I see that one slides the weight onto the arm until neutral balance is achieved.Mark that Zero point by turning just the numbered ring to Zero.Then grab the re...

Strain gauge vs Zyx 4D/Atmos
Knowing the sounds of several LPs is a very useful tool, and we all believe what you hear is what we would also hear in your home. We know you are a good listener and very careful in your setup and testing methodologies. This takes a lot of work a... 
Strain gauge vs Zyx 4D/Atmos
Raul,Please learn from the facts I and others give you. When we ask questions of you, just try to answer them, as that is what you would wish from us of course.I will summarize one last time: We may desire better than +/-1dB from 20-20k, but this ... 
Strain gauge vs Zyx 4D/Atmos
Raul,I appreciate your concern. That magazine test gave no scale at all to their Figure 4. Also, on their page four, their author states, "We can now state, with an excellent accuracy level, that the natural frequency response curve of the SOUNDSM... 
Strain gauge vs Zyx 4D/Atmos
Hi Raul,I must point out that the Win Labs never produced a flat frequency response-- please have a look at some magazine test reports.I own(ed) the Panasonic, and in the Jeff Rowland strain gauge preamp for it, Jeff applied a very mild amount of ...
