    Interest Rate Madness

    inflation is everything to do with "demand" , demand in economic terms is the willingness and ability to pay. The increase in money supply meant that there was an ability to pay the inflated prices we currently have by the majority of the population. Without that energy suppliers could not have...

    Condensation in Loft

    Its worth checking extractor fans actually vent to the outside. So often they vent into the cavities which leads moisture up into the roof space

    This is awful, you have to deal with ventilation at the same time as insulation people are going to have so many damp and mould issues in a few years time....

    Can anyone share experiences of record cleaning machines

    I'm thinking I can get a de gritter mk1 and a project vacuum cleaner for around the same price of the de gritter mk2. I don't like the idea of air drying the fluid from the record after cleaning, surely some must stick to the record?

    Can anyone share experiences of record cleaning machines

    I'm looking into maybe getting something like the de gritter cleaning machine, but having looked around the many youtube videos on record cleaning I'm left more confused on the best route to getting my records clean.Does any one have first hand experience of any machines currently on the market...

    SME arm alignment

    For what's its worth I bought an SME specific avid alignment protractor just to double check and the alignment and it is almost bang on on both null points when using just the supplied SME template with single null point to set up the arm. So the majority here are right there's not much in it...

    SME arm alignment

    it will be fine at the single selected null point, in SME's case that is at the end of a record , but it will be out at the other null point nearer the start of a record as the arm to stylus tip length is different to the anticipated length.

    SME arm alignment

    What are you compensating for by looking at angle? This makes no sense, you can clearly see whether the tonearm is parallel to the lines already . Lets just agree the wording is awful and causes confusion. I've been setting up turntables for 35 years with good results these instructions just...

    SME arm alignment

    Having a slightly different stylus to mounting length will not stop you seeing if the lines are parallel. I can Cleary see the lines and whether they are parallel. This is the wording " Most cartridges have a stylus - fixing hole centre distance of 9.5mm. Correctly adjusted with these the...

    SME arm alignment

    SME say in the instructions to view the cartridge from a different angle/position if the stylus to fixing distance is different than their assumption, so doing that that would be using as intended. It's just not clear exactly what they intend you to do. Thats all I really want to know.

    SME arm alignment

    I don't know, you buy an high end turntable and arm with precision mechanics, fine bearings, carefully chosen materials and damping, it can be adjusted in almost any parameter, the 309 even does azimuth, but you can not properly align the cartridge only get a close estimate. For what's it worth...
