Not sure if you puzzled this out or got your 200 working but if not then it’s not the bracing screws you undo but those on the back plate plus another couple of allens which are accessed when the drawer is open. Never quite worked out how to get the top off the actual transport mech once the lid...

I've used these for the past few years to provide a bit of isolation and equally importantly to allow me to move my speakers easily on my oak floor. They are excellent! Unfortunately the set I have are M6 thread so don't fit my new speakers. Now I could just buy an M8 set of course (or offer an...

I can answer "no" to all your questions (including the first two). All of them are phrased in the same way though, as though your expectations are that people will answer "yes" Rather a limited way of thinking IMO.

I think the poor underpaid souls who have to run around the pitches will be awfully tired by the end of the tournament.

That needs someone with more expertise than me to answer properly Jim. Though I have to say that I've never reached the inner grooves of a normal record after the test record tracking experiment has been completed, always having relented and reduced tracking weight to restore treble before that...

As I understand the science of it, it is because you effectively alter the VTA of the stylus as you increase downforce, due to the compliance of the stylus/cantilever assembly. Try it out though. Increase your tracking weight by 0.1g each time you listen to a track and see what happens. Short...

IME dealers will offer 30-35% off for ex-dem equipment, on which they still have to pay VAT. So if you are trying to sell nearly new kit, which may not have a transferable warranty and won't have dealer backup, for 60% of the new price then it might well take ages to sell. But again IME most...

Very few arm/cart combinations will track the 14db track and especially the 16db or 18db "torture" track so if your setup tracks the 12db one then you're fine. Altering the bias won't make any difference because the stylus is being bounced around so much nothing can settle it down. Problem...

So true! Still haven't seen a second hand one though.....

I'm pleased and surprised to see so much praise for the Tron Convergence here. Thought I was the only one who had one! Before I got it I had a load of stages, purchased or on loan, ranging from the Arkless to a Trigon, Whest Two (replaced by a Tellurium Q) Parasound JC3, Tube Tech Mac, Vinyl...

A fabulous piece, and a must hear if you like the Barber Adagio. Death in Venice soundtrack I believe and a perfect match. Also have a listen to the Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No 2, the perfect accompaniment to the plot of Brief Encounter.

Well, yes. But by definition we must be surrounded by gravitational waves. So how do the scientists know exactly what event produced them? Or, to use an analogy, were the sea waves of Storm Gertrude so different from Storm Henry that they could be identified from their form ,with no other clues...

Too late guys. I'm $3m to the good! Just waiting for it to arrive on Faster Payments.....

I have a Cambridge Audio T500 Tuner which was purchased around 1990 probably. Owned by me since new. LW/MW/FM only. No manual but one available here http://www.best-buy.gr/uplds/tseriesamplifiermanual.pdf. This model never had a remote. I have a simple T-aerial which I will include in the box...
