Yes 🙂 we have two apartments about 300 m apart, that explains everything 🙂
It's a real recommendation.

Long term, that's a better deal than if she had to go shopping everytime one listens to music 🤣
What a little gem. How stupid of me to run and shop a Goldring E3 the other day when I wanted to test an MM. Usually I run a Dynavector 10x5 MkII but I don’t have any RIAA for that ready for deployment. Rebuilding my Salas Folded and the Pearl 3 is yet to be assembled.
2MBlack ftw!

Had to turn the counterweight quite a lot. Seems the head shell that had the Black on was divisions heavier. Tuned the other settings, but since this arm don’t have VTA adjustment I tried a corc mat under the rubber mat, that got the arm decently horizontal. But I didn’t like that setting at all so I’m back to a slightly forward leaning arm. The headshell is pretty flat tho. Waiting for the VTA-police to come and arrest me for turn table blasphemy
That’s a mighty guitar!
I’m enjoying ”nothing”. The kiddos (son and gf) has camped here all week, coffing around with sore colds. 2 hrs ago they felt well and headed down town. Meanwhile they had passed it to me so now I’m the nuisance. But, at least to
myself.
My ”new” cart gets the best verdict: I don’t hear it, I only hear the relaxing tunes of the First Aid Kit sisters Johanna and Klara. Leaning in my armchair.
Always nice with the young around but a silent moment is not bad either.

I've bought David Munyon's albums 7 Crows Against A Greyer Sky Volume 1 and Volume 2 at HDTracks.
I think it is his very best album to date.
The sound quality is exceptionally good, as usual with Stockfisch records.
A very well spent $36.

I highly recommend.

I'm not with the VTA police but am a fanboy. 😏 You think you're in nirvana right now, as opposed to knowing you're in nirvana when the VTA is perfect!
On the other hand, I'd love to have a few extra carts around here. My VPI JMW 3D arm, however, is low mass so I have to keep all that high/low mass/compliance stuff in my head when I shop for carts. Oy. (bhjazz goes out browsing for a second turntable...)
Enjoy, mate!
Well the thicker mat trick was not the trick so I ordered some headshell distances from a guy called Ali who lives in Internet
Yea. I also have a bunch of different head shells for reasons that I forgot (hoarding?) but now I can make use of them to compare how total weight affects sound. A dude on YouTube told me that the VTA angle affects highs and lows depending on which way it leans, can’t remember which was which now. Don’t know if that’s true tho
Sigh! I used Geo Disc yesterday for setting the alignment. Today I tried a protractor. They give completely different results. Some goggling and:
The GeoDisc uses the Baerwald alignment. It's likely your TTs use the Stevenson alignment — it was favored in Japan (I’m on a Technics now)
Stevenson puts the stylus in the "perfect" place for the end of the record, where distortion is the highest, whereas Baerwald "averages" the distortion over the entire playing surface.
The Stevenson method was designed for the best replay of Classical music, which often has a massive climax (a "torture track") at the end of the side.
As usual, there is no right or wrong, it’s just a spot where you like it.

For sure. I'm on Löfgren B right now.
Would be cool to have an audio interface and record the same song with different alignments. Then they could be compared in minutes instead of days. Oh, and would also be cool to have, well...the time to do it. Why am I always so short on time...?!?!?! 😳
Its better to be short of time and full of ideas than plenty of time and no ideas.
When I was a young boy (tralala) my projects were so many all the time that they used to stress me. Nowadays I don’t let them. DIY is now a de-stressing activity for me that allows me to disconnect from all the daily sheit and total idiocy out there.
I also find it relaxing realizing that all those postulates of norms and must do’s in audio, that this way is good and everything else crap is just opinions (at best). I do what I like nowadays. I listen to wise and experienced people like ZM and Nelson here but I don’t care so much about all the buzz really. I fiddle, I listen, do and re-do. It’s just a hobby.
