    Accurate spirit levels for analog set up, any recommendations?

    Frank Schroeder during a presentation used the glass from a spotlight lamp as a base placed on the platter. He then put a large ball bearing on top of the glass and of course it will only stop moving when level. Simple and effective.

    Schroder LT x Kuzma 4 point x Graham Elite x SME V-12

    But you make a fair point Ked. The bass is the toughest to get working well on the Reference.

    Schroder LT x Kuzma 4 point x Graham Elite x SME V-12

    How many other tonearms have an adjustable bearing? This is by adjusting the magnet gap as you probably know.

    Schroder LT x Kuzma 4 point x Graham Elite x SME V-12

    I want to point out that the Schroeder has a wooden arm wand and the others mentioned do not. This avoids the 'ringing' effect which adds a measurable distortion to the sound. The Atlas with the Schroeder is an excellent choice, same as Frank uses himself I believe. Its the wooden arm beam in...

    The new MSB Pro USB interface

    I had the Audio Synthesis modded universal transport and DAX Discrete too. Dual optical digital outputs sent enough digital data for SACD and DVDA discs. Single digital optical for the DAX Decade.

    Music Direct Ultimate Cartridge Setup Service

    My observation is that you know you are ‘getting there’ when you witness a drop in surface noise. With the SMARTractor how do you measure cantilever alignment?

    Entreq Tellus grounding

    I am grounded! The Poseidon is fully grounding the SIA-025. That is negative speaker channels and a third Apollo Infinity for a spare rca input. I also have a Silver Tellus with eight grounding leads to ground all the source components. Encountered a small problem with the Poseidon middle...

    Entreq Tellus grounding

    I have found this thread of great benefit. Saturday should be Vitus grounding day. A Poseidon with Infinity Apollo to ground speaker negative terminals plus a spare input for the middle Entreq terminal.

    We listen to a system, yet we judge a single piece...how accurate is that??

    Interesting topic that you raise. I think a lot of the audio press also run into this trap. This is with their reviews of individual components. At the level most of you are enjoying isn’t it about system synergy where the result is greater than the contribution of each individual piece...

    A difficult install with no stylus guard. I think you can send them back after 200 hours for a fine tune.

    Emm labs DA2 v2 upgrade

    Does he have to listen to every track on each CD or can he be selective and play particular tracks?

    Palmer 2.5 TT

    Yes the Artemis has a wooden beam that was designed by Frank. Schroeder and Durand both use wood to manage resonance and avoid ringing through the arm tube.

    Quest for speaker upgrade

    An update for everyone on the Heco Direkt. I have had some class speakers through my rig including Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation and more recently Raidho C1.1. It was this post from Bonzo that caught my eye;- 'Depends if you only want bookshelf, or small. The Heco Direkt, which costs 2700...

    Entreq Tellus grounding

    Hi Barry, Looking closely at the components in the rack your Entreq grounding boxes look like they are isolated with feet, not sure if they are Stillpoints. What is the thinking here if the Entreq contains minerals/ crystals? (Not electronics which we know are microphonic).

    Low-cost streamer compares to Aurender

    Also Melco is releasing a MK II so current Mk I stocks being sold with a reduction.

    Low-cost streamer compares to Aurender

    No Melco in the shortlist? Also the Raspberry Pi with a linear power supply is what I consider the bargain of recent times. Can play from a network file share and also can link directly in my case to Spotify Premium. Don't forget a linear supply for the internet router too. Thanks Cyclopse

    Are we sometimes disillusioned in this audio business/hobby?

    I think you have introduced a different perspective by using the hobby and what you have achieved to be shared with others. For a lot of us it's a lonely persuit in our listening rooms alone for sometimes hours at a time. If only the other half had been into audio. Regards Cyclopse

    Martin Logans or Wilson 5.1 with Jeff Rowland or Modwright?

    I can speak with a little experience because I am to blame for introducing you to Modwright. Remember the listening session? I don't think Martin Logan would be suitable for what you need them for. I would much prefer the Wilson upgrade. Regards Cyclopse
