I'd make absolutely sure that the MH 9.3 is something you're willing to give up for more immediate gratification. I know two months seems like a long wait right now, but it really isn't. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to preach patience or anything, but you mentioned your "heart was set"...

The ultimate sobriety test.

Ditto. When I get my ear to within about 8 inches of the motor, I can hear it.

Saw this on "The Hoff" last night. Richard hasn't mentioned it here yet, so I hope he does mind me doing a little evangelizing. I've been anticipating this release for a few months now. Darlington Labs SU-7: Active Step-up 'Head Amp' For LOMC Cartridges

If you can afford a $400 record weight, you can afford a $50 Vinyl Center Hole Reamer. :cool:

I feel exactly the same way. I've only used my Feickert protractor twice in 2 years and I still say it's money well spent. Nothing beats knowing your setup is dead-on for peace of mind.

Listened on headphones through my PC. The Joni Mitchell "Willy" sounded fine to me. Zeppelin's "Battle" sounded normal. Sibilance is present, but natural. FWIW, I compared yours with the Amazon's "Ultra HD" version and found sibilance present there as well, (maybe a bit more), but again...

Your "Zero Stat in the closet" story reminded me of the time I had 5 people in my pitch-black bathroom, (only room in the house without windows), to prove that Wintergreen Certs spark when you bite down on them.

Very true. But I'll still claim credit for the new GEO-DISC idea if it ever comes out.

Weird, considering that their own GEO-DISC is Baerwald only. Maybe they should consider marketing a MoFi TT version. They can offer it as an option with every turntable they sell for $39.99. $10 off MSRP (y)

I have several colored vinyl LPs, but I guess I'm weird. I prefer the black vinyl to all others. Much easier to see dust, dirt, flaws, etc... Advantageous in cleaning.

Hudson Hi-Fi UV Stylus Cleaner - This works fine for me when I need it. That being said, I've only used it twice in 6 months and the last time was pretty much just for the helluvit. A couple of strokes with a dry stylus brush is much more convenient and under normal circumstances, just as...

I wouldn't suspect a 1mm wobble to be the culprit, (although it would still bug me to no end). My first suspicion would be your overhang. It's just a wild guess, but overhang is the only thing I can think of, (other than a tonearm defect), that would cause distortion on the outer area of a...

(sorry for the late post...was away for a week off) I'm currently running a Grado Gold3. It reminds me a lot of the MasterTracker, but with a little more definition in the upper-mids and a little shimmer in the treble freqs. that I prefer. Basically, not as polite as the MasterTracker, but not...

I originally ran the MasterTracker on my UltraDeck. It was pretty much exactly as you described. Great cart for acoustic and most of my classical collection, but was a bit polite and didn't really have the "bite" I was looking for with the rest of my music. Fortunately, the StudioDeck is very...

I don't know the extend of your TT experience, so forgive me if this sounds patronizing, but I suspect you'll find the overall turntable "voicing" to be almost completely dependent on your cartridge choice and setup. What cartridge are you currently running?

Just a joke based on everything I've said about the equipment in my sound system over the last couple of decades. No offense intended, Joe.

Fortunately, I've not suffered this issue, but it doesn't seem like an insurmountable problem. Is the set screw losing grip on the spindle? or is it just backing out? If it's slipping against the spindle, I'd probably try to gouge some grooves in the end of the screw with a file. If it's backing...
