Hey Guys, I'm not completely satisfied with setting the Azimuth with a mirror and am looking to borrow a test record. I am looking to set azimuth with a digital multi meter. Hoping a member around can help as I'm trying to avoid purchasing one. I'm in Orange County (Southern...

Hey guys, The vinyl rig has landed. Now, I am completely overwhelmed by this thing. I've put up the basic pieces, and the motor is spinning the platter fine. Now comes the arm. The cartridge is pre-mounted on the arm. I'm trying to read the manual, but I'm just not going to get anywhere...

I'm going to try really hard to find some words, but please don't mind my staggering thoughts as it is going to be very hard for me to express my thoughts coherently. Apologies in advance...I can barely think properly with this beast in front of me. THE SOUNDS I HEAR RIGHT NOW SCARE ME TO...

Sorry, this isn't the actual comparison But it could be.... Hear Ye, Hear Ye, If there is someone in Southern California with a B52, lets plan to get together for some kind of review and comparison for the rest. I for one am EXTREMELY curious about the true differences between the two. It...

Sennheiser HD-650 is a truly unique piece of work. I have NEVER EVER seen a pair of headphone scale up like these. With every piece of hardware upgrade, be it source, amp, interconnects, power conditioning, these headphones really show you what you are getting or losing with the changes in...

Dear folks, Recently, I've been looking for a CD transport to go with an outboard dac. I just wanted to get a feeler for what I should be looking for. I'm looking for a very stable platter that can faithfully extract the bits off a redbook disc. I don't need any fancy upconversion. Just a...
