Thanks---35 pages----wow. I seem to be on the right lines re the Black's brilliance and my set-up.

...mind you, I do like tinkering. I'll try the 'no bias' (AS) setting later but I don't think...

I found my 1968 Hi-Fi Sound test LP (£1.30 -new!) I've settled on a tracking force of 1.61g and I increased my anti-skating to 2g equivalent.

Yet to bother too much with the SRA. The arm is still...

Thanks AJ. I've just watched it - very clear and informative.

I'm using the whole of side 1 of Tracy Chapman's 1st LP -simply wonderful. I will see if I can dig-out the Supertramp's LP.

Thanks

Thanks Barry; understood.

Silly question...which is the more important to get right- the VTA or the SRA (I know they're interdependent)?

"I believe the best method is to start with the head shell parallel to the record surface and then adjust the tonearm up or down a little at a time to get the best SQ."

...or the arm being...

Thanks everyone. I do have an old (very old) HiFiNews test LP -but yet to use it with this combination; will do so later. I did raise the tail end of the arm 5mm or so and didn't like the sound and...

Yes, very apologetic, but not sure if she was to blame (after all, without CTVC there's no evidence). (She uses a micro-duster on her hand - apparently). I will tell her not to go anywhere near the...

Yes Steve, I agree. Many thanks.

Still wondering about setting the arm parallel to the surface of the LP, or doing, as I've done, reducing the tail of the arm approx. 8 mm to try to give the...

Update: I'd like to publicly thank Steve (AKA Pigmy Pony) for his very kind offer of giving me an Ortofon 2M Black to replace my damaged AT 33PTG/2/MC. I had thought that the AT and the Roksan Nima...

Thanks; PM sent.

Our cleaner has just left and I noticed that the Roksan Nima arm was halfway over the turntable and that the stylus on my AT33PTG/11 MC was broken. Trying to get hold of her...but can't at present....

..."with Intelligent Diagnostics".

In mint condition and very little used.
Does it work? Yes, but to my 75yr-old ears and using a valve amp with Living Voice speakers the effect is marginal as I...

The two Boss units and galvanic isolator were used with Rpi units I seem to recall. (Not both at the same time - obviously!)

The Boss sells new at approx £60 and the isolator about £40. I'm asking...

I'm no expert here...

But for me (with -say- just 2TB of music on disc) a NAS doesn't make much sense, as I could store that on an external drive (SSD or otherwise) and plug that into my Mac or,...

Double disc caddy arrived so plugged both old NAS WD 3TB drives into it. Neither Mac or Win11 could read them (Synology have their own OS and formatting system), so I wiped both drives and...

My feelings exactly; thanks.

Synology DS215J

I have the above NAS with 2 HDs mainly storing my music, photos and documents.

I have a M2 MacMini, an Intel Mac Pro laptop and an older iMac running a previous OS.

I have...

Hi, is this the Mk 1 or 2 (heavier) version?
Thanks,

Richard

Interesting. Thanks.

Now I know what to get if one of my 3 Apple airport expresses dies.

I have a WD Kel 84 (http://www.world-designs.co.uk) and have been very impressed with it. I built it as a kit and then asked the provider to check the wiring.

Please keep us up to date with your...

Agreed.

If I had to buy another Int Amp I'd get an Exposure 2510.

I have a Pi and am very please with it. I did have the board feeding a DAC from Allo that just sat on top of the PCB. Now I have it serving a separate DAC (from RME).

I used this site as my...
