I picked up a Akai 4000ds from a friend who was cleaning out his parent’s house. Hadn’t been played in years. Cleaned it up, changed the belt and motor for less than one hundred. He had one tape: Politely Percussive by Dick Schory’s Percussion Pops Orchestra. Every time I play it for guests...
I have a Balance with RöNt and solid state power supplies. I really don't hear a difference between the two. I trust that there might be subtle differences so I use the RöNt.
Hi, I'm looking for a WallyTractor Universal v2.01 to buy or borrow (will pay shipping both ways) to help align a cartridge for a Brinkmann Balance and Breuer Tonearm.
Thanks.
Right, crazy, the instructions say just to square it on the headshell and put stylus 4mm past the headshell. It sounds great but seemingly hardly accurate.
Does anyone know how to align a cartridge with the Breuer 8 tonearm? the Breuer tonearm is too short for all the protractors I have and read that is normal?

Just recently built the Elekit 8600s with upgraded Lundahl 2785B transformers and the new Western Electric 300B tubes. It was my first kit and the instructions are well written and easy to follow. The amp is amazing. Exceeds all my expectations. I also have a 300w solid state amp from LampizatOr...
Just got a T/7i and trying to integrate it with some Vapor Sound Auroras. So far, I have the crossover between 9-10 o'clock on dial and input between 11-12. I find with many current digital files on Tidal/Roon the bass is a little too earth-shaking. I like the bass evident but not overwhelming.
For my balanced TRP, I just use two in the front. Leave the balanced empty. I found if you use four when not needed in my old Level 4 that a hum could develop.
