sir Diego, kinuha mo na pala, nakalimutan ko na yan, ah. i was interested when i saw it last year. sabihin mo sa kaibigan natin ibagsak na nya yung presyo ng Audio Research at Electa Amator. yung killer JVC TT niya binibigay sa akin ng P3K, sabi ko hindi ako interesado, thinking he would drop the price further to P2K. but i did give him the VinylEngine address so he'll have a manual for that rare piece of hifi. congrats sir nani! may electa amator??? paki-PM naman ang details congrats on the JVC TT! that's a steal!!!

oops, wala akong planong bilhin yan. ako pang super barat? BTW, nakarinig na ako ng Electa Amator paired with Mastersound sa Hong Kong in 1999 (original price $5K, resale price in US now, $1.6K), it was good but not a killer pair as far as my ears are concerned. i think the two (with Audio Research amp) were being sold here as package at no less than P150K. i was telling the seller i'd be interested at 50% discount. haven't received any call yet, so hindi bumaba ang quote.

A blank record is the best tool for adjusting anti-skating. However, this is quite hard to procure. An LP which has a thick blank space in the inner part (near the record label) can be used check for anti-skating. 12-inch 45rpm singles normally have big spaces near the record label. Just make sure the LP is flat, and not warped. I'm going to eat my words.... I don't do this method no more. I use my HiFi News Test LP, and most of all, adjust by ear.

Fritz, Teka, Hifi News Test LP - is this the LP that also has a blank space to adjust anti-skate?

Mahuhuli mo yung channel imbalance due to an anti-skate adjustment which is too much or too little. After the HiFi News Test LP, I play normal LPs, focusing on inner grooves. Mas prominent ang distortion in this part of the LP. I use recordings of the piano, and female voices.

Ahhh, OK - I think that was what Philip was using then when I was still new to using test LPs to calibrate the tonearm/cartridge. Right now I'm just using the CA Trackability test LP... ganon din - test tones to adjust azimuth and anti-skate settings.
