[quote user="Gibraltar"]I recently picked up a MAX-282 tone arm and when setting it up with my test record I'm getting buzzing in the right channel during the bias test tracks. Changing the anti-skating setting has no audible effect. On other arm...

Hi Romy,I miss-understood. I did not realize you were able to play my file in "natural 96K". Since I am not able to play your file in "natural 88.2" I needed to make another recording before I can really compare yours to mine since my CD player ups...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]David, that is funny that you are stressing my SX8000 or even mention it, if you ever invest the effort to read the site, or at least the thread then you would understand how out of context your manner. The AF1/Micro is kin...

[quote user="analog10"]Hello, this is my first post here - this is a wonderful web site, critical and fair - a lot of knowledge here and i consider you real connoiseurs - that's why i'm hoping to resolve my problem here.

T, ‘m glad to see you around. Your position is quite educational although not an unproblematic. I do not agree with some of the points you brought up (I mean that 103-is very low compliance cartridge - 5x10-6 cm/dyne (except D and M), disagree with ...

Hi, George
First off all I have to mention that I use Max 282 as my “second” arm. I mean my best stereo cartridge I use with 3012 as I feel that it has more interesting lover bass and upper bass then 282. The 282 has slightly hollow and slightly bor...

I didn't know about this sad episode, but in your place I would find a way to ask him publicly about that[1]. He, of course, has no liability (by law) of what Micro Seiki (as a company) did, but would be interesting to know his reaction. Surely, ...

The RX5000 platter is ball bearing and I feel that in some
cases if a platter has a direct path to mechanical ground then it is slightly better
than suspended platters, would it be oil, magnetic, air or a penicillin sustention.

Hi Romy,
First I want to say thank you for your opinion.
I have read your post several times and I will read it again to understand fully what you mean with my 8000 next to me. You have given me things to think of such as 'dirt that cause the scra...

humor which make the meals more tasty ;-)

From a few months I have RX5000 and of course this is great TT and even more if the platter is damped and upgraded with a proper mat.
