| Well Tempered Reference Vs Nottingham Hi, your WTT is miles ahead of a $2500 Nottingham. Going Nottingham would be taking a few steps backwards. Like others have said, there is not much if any at $2500 new or used that would match your WTT. | |
| Mounting of a tonearm. Thanks Doug for providing a good insight to IGD. IMO, IGD is most likely caused by a worn stylus. | |
| Why the sudden popularity of 12 inch arms Shane, the major differences I find between 12" and it's 9" counterpart is the way the music is presented. The shorter arm would have better detail, speed, transparency and more of the hi-fi thing (if that's what you're looking for) while the long... | |

| Koetsu Urushi+SMEV anti skating setting help If possible, use as little anti-skate as you can. Every cartridge/arm combo will yield a different percentage of your VTF. I have various arms and cartridges and have found a good approximation which falls between 25%-30% of your VTF. Dial it in a... | |

| what is this noise caused from possibly Try removing the weight/string. See what happens. Let us know. | |
| what is this noise caused from possibly No don't to lift the back of the arm. Make sure it's level to begin. Add more weight. What are you tracking at? | |
| what is this noise caused from possibly Distortion where from? What cartridge are you using?left speaker- too much anti skateRight speaker- too little anti skateBoth speakers- you're tracking too light. Increase VTF slowly and listen.If these don't work, maybe problem is somewhere else ... | |
| Koetsu Restoration IMO, once a cartridge has been rebuild/retipped by someone other than the original maker, it will be considered a different cartridge. The fact that if it sounds better or worse.....is up to the owner to decide. Some can sound better, some just di... | |
| cantelever not straight, advise please. The word is not "straight". Yes, I am sure the cantilever on the 17D2 is straight. I cannot be bent. It's made of a single diamond crystal and cannot be bent. It will just snap off. That's why the guy said it was straight under a microscope.The re... | |
| Benz Ebony LP loading I believe the Ayre phono has a 60db gain. On the LP, might be barely enough. You would have to crank it up. Lack of gain can cause the system to sound "not interesting". I had my stepup hooked to my Pass XONO and provided total of 66 db gain. It w... |
