| Need help setting overhang on the Technics SL-1200 On the SL1200, you can carefully adjust VTA while the record is playing. I've done this, and I can hear the sound change slightly while the arm is raised or lowered. I usually dial in VTA by ear, but I start with the headshell level using a small ... | |
| Local dealer cuts store in half says audio is dead My observation tells me the audio hobby in general attracts far more introverts than extroverts. This includes audio dealers, who often start off as hobbyists and expand into selling products in the hobby they love. Their intractability is part of... | |
| Any cables that give more bass I agree with Ghstudio. The OP's speakers are limited in what they will reproduce. Add a subwoofer, or change to a more full range speaker (that goes down at least to the mid 30Hz range).Wire won't do it, and placement will only go so far. | |
| Need help setting overhang on the Technics SL-1200 The 1200 is absolutely worth fussing over.I have used the Technics jig, Turntable Basics protractor, Vinyl Engine Baerwald protractor, and MintLP Best Tractor protractor, and the MintLP is by far the best of the bunch. The difference in the cartri... | |

| Need help setting overhang on the Technics SL-1200 The Technics white plastic jig does is not accurate. It does not allow for cantilever alignment, nor is the overhang optimal when one compares the results to that of the MintLP or this Technics arm protractor downloadable from The Vinyl Engine (sc... | |

| need help on transparent sounding 12au7 tubes RCA 5814A is a terrific tube. Andy Bowman at Vintage Tube Services sometimes has a nice supply of tested, super low noise examples. | |
| need help on transparent sounding 12au7 tubes Rodman99999, I disagree with you about Mullard tubes and live music.In fact, in my system, with my ears I hear more qualities of live music presented with Mullard tubes in the mix than I do with 100% German tubes installed.So, who is right? I woul... | |
| Scoutmaster Isolation Timbernation is presently building a sandbox to the specs of Galibier Design for use as an isolation platform. Chris at Timbernation does nice work, and Thom at Galibier is thorough in what he designs and recommends.I ordered the Timbernation sand... | |
| need help on transparent sounding 12au7 tubes I think it's helpful to write in terms of coloration and transparency when describing characteristics of different tubes. I also believe it's less helpful to write potentially pejorative statements like "unnatural warmth". Who is to say what is na... | |
| musical interconect from Phono to Pre amp Low capacitance also matters only for interconnects from tonearm to phono. It does not matter for phono preamp to linestage preamp unless the distance is fairly large, in which case highs could be attenuated. | |
| musical interconect from Phono to Pre amp Low capacitance matters for MM carts. It does not matter for MC carts. I don't know the capacitance spec of the Silkworms. What is it? | |
| musical interconect from Phono to Pre amp I recently picked up a used pair of Silkworms that I tried from phono to pre, and the results were excellent. I wish I had a second pair.Considering the rest of your ICs are Silkworms, I believe buying budget ICs would be selling yourself, and you... |
