| Cartridge alignment tool There is a good review in the November 2018 Stereophile by Art Dudley of the Acoustical Systems SmarTractor of 3.5 pages. I concur with "The Smartractor is a breeze to use, and seems exceptionally well made." | |
| Cartridge alignment tool Hi @folkfreak Interestingly it was Acoustical Systems that told me about AnalogMagik. Thank you for jogging my memory. I have AnalogMagik on my list of things to look into. It looks very interesting and promising. With your very positive experie... | |
| DENAFRIPS Terminator & Jay’s Audio CDT-3 MK2, A Review Thanks @lordcloud for the kind words. This forum has given me a lot in my main interest, analog, and I am very happy that I can give something back. On the custom power supply, it really lifted the Lightspeed and cost me $1,800.

| Cartridge alignment tool I agree fully with @last_lemming Nothing comes close to the Acoustical Systems Smartractor. For me, it is well worth the investment even if you only have 1 cartridge. I have typically only had 1 cartridge at a time except for the last few years wh... | |

| Technics Turntables...really??? Hi Norbert @nkonor,I unfortunately can add nothing to my original post on the wonderful AFI FLAT:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/relaxing-records-for-better-sound-using-the-afi-flat A friend in Europe had arranged for one to go to a potenti... | |
| Technics Turntables...really??? With the title and put-down framing of its question, this to me is a provocative post especially given that this Analog forum has plenty of recent posts on the very good SQ and value proposition of a number of Technics turntables old and new. The ... | |
| Speed accuracy- how accurate is accurate? Speed accuracy has got to be very important and for me the best tool is the Sutherland Timeline. | |
| Micro RX 5000 Renaissance? @invictus005"Every single clone or fake part should be banned, confiscated, and destroyed by customs. I don’t care how old the original is."So true. So true. So I take it you are all for paying China royalties for all foreign produced tea and alco... | |

| Jay’s Audio CDT-3 - Impressions of a Great CD Transport Hi @audiojoy4 , I am glad that you are enjoying the combo and hopefully your speakers will be sorted out soon.
