| How often do you upgrade your turntable? ... bought a good vinyl setup that I'll probably keep for as long as my first entry-level turntable.Regards,Tom | |
| How often do you upgrade your turntable? I used an entry-level turntable for almost 30 years before I replaced it with a (better) entry-level turntable. And then I upgraded turntables twice in 5 years. For the first 30 years I was a real vinyl cheapskate and wouldn't spend the money on a... | |
| Gyro SE suspension problem... Solution was to buy a lightweight tonearm mounting plate...Problem solved: Success! Lightweight acrylic plate. | |
| Micromega Mydac is a pain.. Windows upgrades haven't affected my turntable. '-) | |
| Experiences buying used cartridges I tried buying a couple of used phono cartridges and both were defective. One had a badly worn stylus (was offered as "nearly new") and the other had a bad suspension (cantilever would drift to one side when lowered). I lost money on the first car... | |
| record weight .... correct weight? Exhibitors at shows may be more concerned about someone dropping a record weight on the turntable than trying to get the absolute best performance out of a compromised room setting. Electronics shows are not where published reviews are conducted.A... | |
| record weight .... correct weight? Good question, without a good answer; or rather, not a consistent answer...The down force applied to a record sitting on a platter is accomplished in three ways: A weight, a clamp, and/or suction. Three methods, but the same objective of getting g... | |
| Reaga Apollo At My Local Trhift Buyers remorse was never something I considered. Mild irritation at times, but I don't regret purchasing the Apollo. I've just come to accept that a few CDs will have to be rippped and burned to a CDR in order to play them. I'm more irritated at t... | |
| Reaga Apollo At My Local Trhift It's difficult to say why the cable worked loose. Perhaps your Apollo suffered some rough handling during shipping/ownership. The CD transport is suspended from the framework and incorporates an elastomer bumper to help isolate the transport from ... | |
| Azimuth question Lewm, whenever someone recommends the Fozgometer...You seem to have a bucket of ice water at the ready. Keep up the good work, helping to protect gullible (or incompetent) audiophiles from getting ripped off. :-)I hate to deflect your cold water, ... | |
| Reaga Apollo At My Local Trhift It's funny how CD players are becoming what turntables were 25 years ago...Unwanted junk you could find in thrift stores for next to nothing. :-)That Apollo you picked up was a good deal. I've been enjoying mine for years.Regards,Tom | |

| MC Phono preamp gains As long as both of the inputs have 47K loading you're good to go.Regards,Tom | |
| Fozgometer Lew, no, they do not imply that channel imbalances can be fixed by adjusting azimuth. However, the manual would be much more useful if it included information on how to deal with channel imbalances when adjusting azimuth for optimum channel separa... | |
| Fozgometer Doug, thank you for the clarification regarding channel separation as a surrogate (derivative statistic) for crosstalk. I had used the term crosstalk in the past when describing the Fozgometer but wanted to be consistent with the manual. If you re... |
