| VPI Nomad help Never throw away what you can sell.But seriously, the fact that increasing tracking force helped is a clue. How did you adjust? The correct way is with a gauge (even the inexpensive Shure works fine) measured with the stylus at record height, not ... | |
| Voltage delta between speakers Keith Herron tells me that in the double-blind testing he does he has found he is able to swing listener preference with changes of as little as three one hundredths of a dB. You're talking ten times that here. | |
| Shipping speakers The first pair of Khorus speakers Talon shipped me I got out to the truck just in time to see them dropped three feet off the tailgate, cracking the wood at the base. The second pair I got there before the truck could stop, so I was watching when ... | |
