| Aerial 20T or Proac D100 Aerials' ribbon tweeter versus the proac tweeter. Proacs deserve kudos for what they are able to accomplish with thier tweeter. However, it is no match for aerials' ribbon. | |
| Does "Fast" = "Detailed"? "Every "fast" system that I have heard (as described by others) has been detailed, clear and without bloom. None have been what I'd consider warm and inviting. One or two have been cold, clinical and I could not listen for more than about an hour ... | |

| How to set SRA after determining true vertical? Whoops! I've said all this before. I keep getting sucked in. Any way vdh's advice sort of proves my point. Think about it. He also had to make the call. If the cantilever is sort of a spring it will deflect under different loads (vtf). Thus if the... | |
| How to set SRA after determining true vertical? SRA is irrelavent. It is the position of the stylus in the groove that counts. The maufacturer designed the cartrridge to achieve that with the arm parrallel to the record surface. To the extent you use different forces and angles you may have to ... | |
