| would a shelter 501 work well in a michell tecnoarm? not too old: 4-500 hrs.Sounded very smooth on a LP12/Ittock before I moved it to the gyrodec/rega | |
| would a shelter 501 work well in a michell tecnoarm? thanks for the responsesI tried adjusting the VTA -lowering the arm- but it had a helpful but limited effectI also added some weight to the headshell-again a limited effect.Tortilladc: did you find that adding the weight made much difference to t... | |
| Good sounding Deutsche Grammophon recordings I concur with the general view: great artists but often mediocre sound- or worse. Two examples that span the range of sound quality: Dvorak cello concerto with Rostropovich/Karajan- glorious sound, analogue at its best.Beethoven's 7 th in a truly ... | |

| A Very Long Primer on Record Cleaning Fluids Justin ,thanks for a great article. I want to make my own RCF and was wondering how much EDTA I should add as a preservative? I plan to use Triton X114 as a surfactant. | |

| Quad 21L vs. 22L2 Sonic differences? I have always been interested in these speakers but have been unable to hear them in person . Have read on several reviews that the 22L is rather bright and can therefore be fatiguing during extended listening.Have others found this to be true?? | |
| would the Sony SCD 5400 Ex make a good transport? Amp is a Plinius 8200-not the least bit bright.BTW the Rega apollo is quite different in sound,not the least bit hard/edgy.But it is no match for the Sony in speed, resolution and bass clarity. | |
| Sony SACD 5400 ES: how to get it in standby ? Thanks for the comments.I tried to go to standby with one touch, from either the remote or the chassis on/off button. Both turn the unit off ( click!) rather than put it in standby- as claimed in the Sony manual. Contrary to what the manual says, ... | |

| Cartridge Longevity? I have had exactly the same problems with my BPS cartridge except that it took a lot longer.For the first 100 hours or so the cartridge got better then it got worse especially with regard to distortion near the inner grooves.Its now got so bad tha... |
