    New vinyl a bit hit & miss

    I find a lot of new vinyl poor in terms of noise, even after cleaning. I buy 2nd hand jazz albums which often sound quieter than new vinyl after careful cleaning.

    Are Koetsus worth it?

    Unfortunately it was only on loan from a friend. I really don't understand why it sounded so disappointing. I have a number of high end carts and they all perform well in the Kuzma. It was certainly set up correctly and loaded correctly, my conclusion was the arm did not suit. Maybe it needs...

    Are Koetsus worth it?

    Always wanted to try a Koetsu and had the opportunity to try a Koetsu Coralstone in my arm, Kuzma 4pt, last year. Myself and the chap who brought it round were underwhelmed, it sounded rather dull in my system. Warm and rather slow, it did have a lot of power in the lowest registers though. I...

    Replace the 'Briks in an otherwise all Linn setup ?

    I had Isobariks and 2 x 135s for a long time, in my experience they sounded better active. Use ATC active now - no contest

    computer music server

    I was hoping to get some feedback from anyone who has built a music server similar to the computer audiophile CAPS, eg mother board and power supply used. I have recently obtained surprisingly good results by installing Linux in an old MAC mini. It sounds better than my mac and windows...

    Cartridge Azimuth

    I originally had a full size dual Phillips oscilloscope. I bought this scope from Maplins http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/velleman-40mhz-handheld-pocket-oscilloscope-n55jn It does the job just as well and is much more convenient. It did not come with a probe as I did not need it (had one anyway)...

    Cartridge Azimuth

    I use a digital hand held oscilloscope to check the azimuth. I have several different cartridges and they all respond, to varying degrees, to azimuth adjustment. I have found it to be a worthwhile exercise. I had someone come round the other day to listen the my tt and try their cart out...
