| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Bill, thanks for your impressions. I was wondering if you had the chance to install it yet. Really glad that it is performing well in your system. Now you and the others are really getting the max out of your arms. It makes a difference to get all... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Thanks Doug. I thought it would come around to that. Since the mod simply stablizes the arm laterally and cannot add anything, the cartridge will have excursion only to the extent that the recording modulates it. I knew the anomalies were in the r... | |
| Cartridge cleaning I use the striker on a match book. | |
| Motor Options Hi Jim. I haven't done much research on changing motors on the WTC. I think in general that a DC non-cogging motor is better than an AC motor. But it has to have a good speed control system.I tried the Origin Live DC motor system the other day on ... | |
| Spacedeck and stylus force guage I agree with 4yanx's statement about getting it right by ear. Choose a method, find the VTF you like the sound of, and then continue to use the same method to check it or re-set it in the future. | |
| looking for best isolation platform for CD player I'm an analog guy, so I can't say from experience what will be best under your particular CD player. However, I can say from experience that the best things I've heard under any other piece of audio gear are the Sistrum platforms and Audiopoints. ... | |

| Teres 265 Congratulations. You have a very nice setup. Enjoy it. It is as good as you will likely ever need. | |
| Rediscovering the Joy of Digital? Frank, I note a little sarcasm in your thread. Having a little fun, are we? :^)I'm sure your Michell is doing just fine.Nothing wrong with enjoying both media. | |
| something is wrong here, but what is it? Not enough gain, agreed. | |
| The BLISS of returning to ANALOG: my experience Welcome to the world of analog! It is nice to see that someone is getting the picture of what analog can do. I can only say that you have heard what "the fuss" is all about, and I'm glad you posted it. There are still many in denial about this. En... | |
| Is this the best analog has to offer? I'd say your lack of VTA adjustment is likely the problem. This cartridge likes to be "dialed in", and getting it right with just "luck" with no adjustment is probably so unlikely as to be impossible. I never installed a Michell armboard, but it m... | |
| Aesthetix Rhea vs. Io Signature Talk to Albertporter about this. He has heard them all, and currently has the IO DPS Signature with all NOS tubes, and knows what you want to know. | |
| Using modern cartridges on a vintage turntable I'd use a medium to high compliance cartridge on that table, due to the fact that it was made for the Shure V15 and similar cartridges of its day. Don't spend more on the cartridge than you did on the turntable. | |
