Hi

As per the thread heading, what i meant to say was, I have a Sony
direct drive turntable but the turntable has no separate grounding
wire.

Was it designed like that or its missing? as in is it mandatory that
all Turntables come with a grounding wire?

and if the answer is yes, is there a solution say by means of attaching
a wire ( to which part of the turntable) to the problem of a missing
wire?

Thank you.

Sorry, i am poor in english.

Sorry for the response from the last idiot. This place is full of turds
like that, so you have to watch where you step. Good thing you didn't
get him anyway.

I'd say YES all turntables come with a grounding wire, only because I
haven't seen one yet that didn't. I had a direct drive Sony (PSX70 I
think), and it had a grounding wire built into the phono cables. No
worries, you can easily add a grounding wire.
One end would be connected to a screw terminal on the back of your
amplifier. The other would go to the turntable. Now you might find a
grounding screw on the back of the turntable. If not, you have to open
up the bottom of the turntable. I would ground it to the base of the
tonearm inside the turntable, unless you find an appropriate grounding
screw elsewhere (that has a wire running to the tonearm). Look to see
where the phono cables lead to, inside the turntable.

We have a saying in the technical business:

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

IOW:

If a thing works fine, don't touch it.

I can see why you're affiliation is called "Rage Audio", you stupid
git. Your answers were worthless and insulting, and now we can see why.
If you can't help and you have nothing to say, say it elsewhere. You
wouldn't know the first thing about how to repair a turntable if I hit
you in the face with one.

You do however get the Usenet Award For 2006: ***BIGGEST KOOK RANT****

I suggest you pick it up at the front desk before you're consumed by
your own rage.

Does it need an added grounding wire?

IOW, are you having problems with hum?

Not all turntables come with a separate grounding wire.

I've got a Rega RB250 tonearm knocking around the house and it doesn't
have a separate grounding wire. It's grounded internally.

I"ve seen others without the grounding wire, but I can't remember
specifics.

So, no, all turntables (or, more accurately, all tonearms), don't come
with a separate grounding wire.

1) It's way too early in the year to give out any Kook awards

2) Trevor's post didn't even register a reading on the kook-o-meter.

Then there's always the inconvienent observation that his information
was correct and yours was not...

So, what have we learned today?

Not all turntables have ground wires.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

**Lemme see if I understand you correctly:

YOU replied to the OP with utterly worthless, completely wrong information
and you have the temerity to call me a stupid git?

I have news for you. And none of it is good. Not only are you an idiot, with
no clue about turntables, but you are incapable of admitting when you are
wrong.

> Your answers were worthless and insulting,

**So says the idiot who has no clue about the subject.

and now we can see why.
> If you can't help and you have nothing to say, say it elsewhere.


**My answers were concise, accurate and to the point. Additionally, I am not
the only one to tell the OP the same information. You, however, have
decided, in your infinite wisdom, to buck the trend and compose a bunch of
worthless information.

You
> wouldn't know the first thing about how to repair a turntable if I hit

**So says the moron. And I'll tell you something for nothing: I have 28
years experience in servicing turntables at a professional level. I've seen
pretty much all of them. Many have no grounding wires. A point you seem to
be utterly oblivious to.

>

I provide concise, accurate information and YOU award me the biggest kook

**I suggest you shut the **** up and let the professionals answer the
questions. I get really ****ed off by people who supply bogus and utterly
misleading information. I get even more ****ed off when those same people
refuse to acknowledge their stupidity.

So, how about it? When are you going to admit your mistake?

No, it isn't. You're not going to find a bigger rant than that, in
shorter amount of space for the remainder of the year. It was a lot of
fun to watch.

....No, your "inconvenient observation" is merely just an opinion that
can swing both ways. It's not worth any more than anyone else's,
regardless of the value you're giving it. You should know something
about that. I've grounded decks that didn't have a wire, and lowered
the noise floor. Ergo, it _can_ help to do so. Whether you want to or
whether you need to is a decision the owner should make. Not you, not
Arny, not the KOOK, not anyone else. And whether you go on a mad,
raging, rampaging, frothing-at-the-mouth KOOK RANT because someone
might have a different opinion than you, then you're just another kook.

You people sure do make it "convenient" and inviting for people to want
to post their queries here, don't you? You either post smarmy replies
that don't help as in the case of the nutbar kook, Trevor Wilson, or
you launch profanity-laded tirades, and other assorted flak attacks,
until the OP has so many bullets flying by him, he regrets having
posted here in the first place.

For serious queries and discussions, people are better off at
rec.audio.tech, RAHE or one of the other major audio groups on Usenet.
This place, you belligerent trolls make so obvious, is _only_ for dumb
flame attacks. About the only person that has seriously tried to
discuss audio here is me. You will feel the absence of serious audio
discussion when I leave (in 5 years time), and you will miss me dearly;
of that I've no doubt.

No one said they do.

**There you go, yet again. You're wrong. You are starting to understand it
and you may finally admit it. One day.

**It can also make it worse. MUCH worse. If noise (hum) is not a problem,
then grounding a perfectly functioning turntable will, at best, be a
complete waste of time. At worst, damage may be done to the system. It is
ALWAYS best to FIRST establish if there is a problem. None of your posts has
managed to ask this, most basic, question. "If it ain't broke, don't fix
it." is an adage you would do well to remember.

**Opinions are like arseholes. Everyone has one. Not everyone knows what
they're tlaking about, when it comes to audio. You clearly lie in this
latter category. I suggest you shut the **** up and listen to those who know
what they're talking about.

the questions. You might even learn something.

meanwhile, SHP elevates the discourse thus:


idiot:
That's called "being an idiot" where I come from.

As was exemplified
by all the other members in subsequent posts, who took this idiot's
conclusion on his say-so.

But do you see what I mean about you being a complete and total
hypocritical idiot?

Had you not been the simple-minded idiot that you are, you'd have
realized that you once again misread something I wrote, in several ways
no less.

/

moron:
Which is
exactly why even a moron like you can accomplish that task. However, so
far as it having any meaning evidence-wise, its only evidence that
you're a moron.

Er no, moron. I'm the thread starter.

But the fact that I don't _charge_ for the tweaks IS, you
moron.

/

****ing:
So don't you ****ing sit there on your high
horse and unilaterally "declare" to me that nobody tries every insane
idea out there.

/
stupid:
I was wondering what you were mumbling about again, because for a
few seconds, I forgot what a stupid presumptious imbecile you are.

And if he has the cheek to point out what a stupid, ignorant,
closed-minded, herd-following sheep that I am for treating his ideas
with total disregard, and dismissing them without evidence or trial,
then I'll smack him with a bunch of fives, I will.

The funny part is, although you're too stupid to have gotten it,
you just admitted you're incredibly stupid.

I didn't realize you were that stupid, that you couldn't
understand the question.

Now you've said some truly stupid, wrongful things in the time that
I've been reading you, Kreuger.

For the record, you fools can say what you want, but I don't consider
myself either a "subjectivist", an "objectivist", a "borg" or any of
these other absurd, stupid labels you people keep slapping each other
with.

**Your feeble attempt to change the topic is duly noted. We're discussing
grounding wires on turntables. Do try to stay on topic, if you can manage
it.

Have you considered that:

1) An acknowledgement that you are incorrect in the following statement (by
you):

"I'd say YES all turntables come with a grounding wire....."

Would be an appropriate action to take? Or will you continue to ignore your
mistake?

2) That an apology for the following words:

"Sorry for the response from the last idiot. This place is full of turds
like that, so you have to watch where you step."

And:

"You wouldn't know the first thing about how to repair a turntable if I hit
you in the face with one."

Would be appropriate?

My wide and deep experience with all facets of the audio business is well
known to most here (except you, it seems). My experience with turntables is
similarly broad. I KNOW, for instance, that many turntables are designed NOT
to be operated with an extra ground wire. I KNOW that such turntables may
exhibit faults when an extra, unneeded ground wire is connected. Apparently,
you do not.

So, what's happening? Do you imagine that your previous, incorrect,
statements have suddenly dissappeared?

If you wish, keep up your stupidity. As long as you refuse to admit your
error, you will continue to look more and more foolish. Are you incapable of
seeing this?

Oh shut yer gob already, you arrogant prick. I'm sorry if it enrages
you to realize that your opinion is as worthless as anyone else's. But
that's your problem. Deal with it. With an imbecile of your stature, I
know well that I couldn't knock a lick of sense into you if I used a
sledgehammer, so this conversation is terminated. It already was, since
I didn't read a word you said in any of your stupid pointless tirades.
But you can continue your angry monologues of rage all you want, and
maybe one day when your batteries run out and you've stopped banging
your head against the desk, you'll look around and realize that no one
actually cares about anything you have to spew. Including the OP, and
especially me. LOL!

Nice kook rant again, Trevor. <grabs beer and popcorn> You're already a
shoe-in for the net kook award of 2006, you don't need to up your
chances with yet another crazy tirade. But I accept your apology that
you were wrong, that you deceitfully misrepresented my words in your
selective quoting like the troll that you are, and that you're an
ignorant, lying, ranting, raving, frothing-at-the-mouth lunatic
prick.The next time someone asks for advice on tuning their turntables,
if that's the best you can do, then I suggest you shut your ignorant
face and move on. You're no help, you're a bloody nuisance.

Do you know the difference between right and wrong? I am not attacking

I've, from day one, held the position that you are an insincere troll.
But having read that pwb site last night I realize that at quantum level
of existence or somesuch there might not ever be right or wrong as we
know it. This is why I am asking.

Are you demanding that I answer the question, or are you just lazy, and
forgot to include the missing words of politeness "I would like you
to"? For now, I'll assume you were lazy. But if it ever even looks like
you're demanding a question of me again, your response will be either
silence or a clip around the ear so sharp, it'll leave you wondering
where it came from.

I think that in the example given above, both of us were right and
wrong. With the severely limited thinkers around here, the issue is
always "black" or "white". Hence the endless flame wars. The only way
to get most RAO regulars (including you) to understand a point is to
slam a brick in their face. Subtlety... they're not so good with. Case
in point: Trevor Wilson, the Energizer Bunny Of Rage. An insecure man,
unable to see, let alone admit all the areas where he was wrong, and
trying to be deliberately deceitful in addition with his mismanagement
of my words, because he's that insecure. So no, there's no incentive
for me to discuss the reasoning behind my responses. In the end,
whether I'm perceived as being right or wrong by him or anyone else
here, matters not a whit to me. I know where I'm right and where I'm
wrong. I don't share the insecurities that most everyone here has, with
a pressing need for others to know.

> I've, from day one, held the position that you are an insincere troll.

So then you don't know the difference between right and wrong, do you?
You let your fear and your prejudice guide you toward the truth. That
never works, except by chance.

Having read the PWB site, then you at least know that the tweaks I
posted, I didn't pull them out of my ass. You realize they do have a
basis in quantum mechanics. Yet you still hold the position that I'm an
insincere troll. Don't think for a moment that I care about any silly
stupid childish names you wish to call me, or the idiotic and wrongful
ways that you perceive me. But I find that your perceptions say a lot
about you, your prejudices, your ignorance, your fear, your shallow
primitive mind, and the "herd mentality" that rules your life. I have
no doubt that if 50,000 audiophiles tried my tweaks and found them
effective, you would have another view of both me and the techniques.
And with your fear calmed somewhat, you would be much more prepared to
try them. But don't change a thing about your behaviour, on my behalf.
Because I'm trying to make a point. You may think of yourself as an
independently-minded but you're not. You're sheep. People tell you
where to go, and what to think. And you go there, and you think that.

Quantum mechanics is a discipline so complex, nobody here, including
you, even has the wherewithal to understand it. So it's no surprise
that everyone here is far too stupid to understand how the Beltist
tweaks may be valid, and so they allow their dumb blind ignorance and
ugly prejudice to decide whether there is any merit to them. Instead of
letting anything silly like "scientific curiousity" get in the way of
your prejudice. My estimation of you is that you're about as much a
true audiophile as Ghandi was Gengis Kahn. Being a real audiophile or
audio hobbyist doesn't just mean buying whatever the heck is the latest
and greatest piece of gear.

Um, no. You said that all turntables come with a ground wire. That's

Then do so. Knowing what an incompetent imbecile you are, you would
probably shoot yourself in the face, and be doing the world a great
favour. Although it doesn't ever seem to occur to you, everything
you've ever said to me on this group, you've pulled out of your ass.
That's because you've not provided factual evidence to support a single
solitary stupid thing you've ever insisted on spewing before me. Most
amazing to me, is that you claim to be a scientist, if I recall. I know
scientists, Mr. Sullivan. Scientists are friends of mine. You're no
scientist. No one as willfully ignorant, or dogmatically arrogant, and
scientifically oblivious could possibly and credibly claim to be one.
Your ignorance of a given phenonemon because of your lack of knowledge
about quantum mechanics makes your statement above risible and quite
meaningless. Your debating and social skills are about as **** poor as
your reasoning and logic skills. Now you've already proven what an
idiot you are dozens of times over, so why exactly do you keep stalking
me from thread to thread? Now hop the twig, you arrogant twit.

Well, to be fair, yes that WAS selective quoting because he qualified
that statement by saying that he reached that conclusion because he
had never seen such a turntable.

Now, that's pretty inexplicable for a Brit who one assumes would be
fairly familiar with Rega products. But that's a different matter
entirely (that, and the strange leap of logic that forced him to come
to the conclusion in the first place).

Ok, I left out the part where he said why he came to that conclusion
(lack of experience). I also left out the part where he called
everybody a turd and Trevor an idiot. Do I have to quote the entire
post, abuse included? Normally, just the relevant factual parts are

**Well, Dave, the correct response might have been:

"Well, I've never seen one, but they may exist. Is there a problem you are
trying to solve?"

Had this moron responded like that (and without the unnecessary insult to
me) then I would have no issue with his response.

**Not only Regas. Many European turntables have been supplied without
grounding wires. Dual, Elac, B&O and many others. More interesting is this
alleged "Brit's" use of the term "grounding". 'Earthing' is the term used by
Poms (and Aussies), not grounding. A minor point, perhaps. Many of us alter
our terminology so Americans can understand our meaning.

Well, when you say, "yes, this is exactly what you said", I think yes,
you would need to provide context and any qualifying statements.

And the same goes to Trevor's statement. The point is, he qualified
his statement. He didn't categorically make that statement.

That's all.

Peter Belt needs to prove his devices don't contravene the laws of

Put me in touch with one of these scientist friends of yours, I'd like
to quiz him or her about your tweaks. It'd be especially nice if they
were physicists.


> No one as willfully ignorant, or dogmatically arrogant, and

You know, *all* proper scientists routinely make judgements on
claims about physical reality. They don't consider every
possibility equally likely. They don't consider all claims equally
valid. Those for which there is good evidence and withstand
testing, get priority. Those which not only have no good evidence,
but which also appear to contradict that for which there *is* good evidence,
is routinely dismissed. Which is why someone claiming to have in their possession,
a perpetual motion device, but who provides no mass of solid, well
controlled evidence to back up that claim, is going to be essentially
ignored.

Guess which category your tweaks fall into.

It is not willfully or dogmatically arrogant to practice 'triage'
on patently absurd ideas for which the evidence is lacking. Proposing
nonsensical audio tweaks, then pointing to quantum mechanics as their
explanation, is not going to convince any scientist worth his
or her degree.

So, if you want to be taken seriously, find some independent agency
to test your mad notions, or find some scientific grounding for them
that isn't a laughable farrago of misapplication, as Belt's are.

In fact, James Randi's orgnaization might
be willing to pay you a million US dollars if any of them
turn out to be correct.

I hardly claim to be a quantum phycisist. The thing is, I hardly believe
you or Belt are, either. I know enough, though, to know that both
of you would be laughed out of the room, were it populated by
real physicists.

It's less of a mystery to me why you won't acknowledge that you were

Look carefully. I SAID you were a prick already. That base was already

"opinions" are, you start crying, and bawling and yelling like a

I know, for instance, that most are NOT. Therefore, YOU'RE WRONG. Deal

Oh yes you are. You're the same ignorant **** that just said my amp
will blow up if I connect a ground wire to it from my speakers. I've
been doing that for years with numerous amps and speakers, they never
blew up. The only thing that did "blow up", now that I recall, was....

If you want to stand here with your thumb up your ass for the next two

listening to you, be my guest. Useless incompetent **** that you are,
you never had anything worthwhile to say for yourself to the original
OP, you have nothing worthwhile to say to me. All you can do with
people is troll and attack them. Whether its people that are asking for
assistance or providing assistance. People like you are what make
people like Yu not want to come to filthy battlegrounds like this and
hope to get smart, rational or useful advice on audio. So do those
people a favor, and _shut up already_, you stupid loud-mouthed ignorant
prick.

I disagree. I could smack you in the face with a hot water bottle all

clearly born an ignorant prick, that is how you'll remain. And I'm sure
all that RAGE is doing wonderful things for your audio! LOL!

Now shut up and get outta here.

Gee Dave. Explain this: how is it that YOU are able to see their
"selective quoting", but the two evil goofs that call themselves "Walt"
and "Trevor" can't, after quoting one half of my statement 25 times
over between the two of them?

Never let it be said that RAO regulars will let "truth" stand in the
way of a good battle. Most people here wouldn't recognize anything that
remotely resembled "truth" if it knocked them upside the head. Hence

There was no "strange leap of logic" on my part. That comes from you,
from saying all Brits must be familiar with Rega turntables (If I may
be so bold, I assume by the context of your phrase that when you say
"products", you're referring to their record decks, Dave. I've never
seen a Rega CD player or loudspeaker come with a grounding wire. Now
don't be like Ragin' Trevor The Troll or Whimpering Walt and make the
dumb assumption that this means I'm saying the Rega CD players and
loudspeakers don't come with grounding wires. I'm only saying I haven't
seen any).

And to respond to your comment, I believe I am "fairly familiar" with
Rega products, including their record decks. I have a Rega Planar 2
sitting in my closet for the last 2 years, along with a new Reson Reca.
I've never actually gotten around to installing it and using the deck,
so I've never noticed whether the RB250 it contains does come with a
grounding wire. Now I'm not saying it does. I'm just saying I haven't
actually seen it....

And let me point out that one would be hard pressed to find so many
people (like Trevor the Rageaholic, Walt Whineman and Steven "I'm a
scientist, I swear!" Sullivan) who can obsess and argue for so long
over the most petty and trivial things, concentrated in such a small
venue.

Speaking of "poor logic" you stupid twit, in your mad trolling tirades,
you can't even figure out whom you're insulting any longer. There isn't
a word in your quotes attributed to me. So its Trevor or Dave's tweaks
that you didn't try as well before passing judgement upon them? Being
the arrogant dogmatic fool you are, I'm not a bit surprised, you see.

Evidence below shows you do NOT "respond likewise". When someone points

Now I've seen you same some really STUPID LIES before, but this one

**Oh really? Let's try some historical fact, shall we? Here are your words:

Those words were uttered, before I responded to anything written by you.

up):
---
**WARNING! This advice may do several things:

* Destroy the output stage/s of your amplifier (many amplifiers are not
designed to operate with their outputs at ground potential).

**That does not mean it will work for everyone, ALL the time. Some
amplifiers are deisgned NOT to have an earth reference. Some are deigned to
'float' above earth and still others (as mentioned by Mr Morien) are
bridged. Bridged amps can create quite a pyrotechnic display, if one side is
grounded.

Who cares if you're a Christian or not? I don't care one way or the

EXCUSE ME - I don't think I did anything but point out that he
qualified his statement. Therefore, your insult was gratuitous and you
are guilty of the very thing that you are complaining about.

Get the chip off of your shoulder. To get weirded out about a
turntable grounding strap is just stupid.

And you were just WRONG for removing the context of his statement.
Live with it.

Now it YOU who's playing with the context (are you trying to emulate
Trevor)? "Fairly familiar with Rega products" is a world away from
"all Brits must be familiar with Rega turntables".

Well, now you're coming off pretty stupid if you HAVE a deck that
doesn't have a grounding wire and yet you claim that you've never seen
such an animal. If I were willing to even read any of your tweaks,
which I haven't, why would I even bother knowing that you don't even

Well, it doesn't. In fact ADDING a dedicated ground wire is a tweak
that Origin Live does with their re-wiring scheme.

Of course, now you're going to claim that apparently you bought the
deck from someone who had already performed the tweak and LO AND
BEHOLD, it DOES have a strap.

Yep. I know I shouldn't, but a simple sentence or two can precipitate a
several paragraph long obscenity-laden vitriolic diatribe from this guy.
Mildly amusing, but certainly not for everyone. My appoligies for

My Rega RB300 came stock without an earthing wire, just as some others
I mounted for friends and, at the time, customers.

I retrofitted my RB300 with a ground wire, while at the same time
replacing the wire inside the arm, and the standard cinch cable .

That definitely was an upgrade worth the time!

By implication, that sounds like none of the other tweaks I've shared
are, although they take a fraction of the time it does to rewire a
tonearm (which is also more complicated than any of the tweaks I've
described). I find that interesting Sander.... (jotting down in
notebook).

I can, btw, effect greater changes than you observed with far less
intrusive means. What people here don't realize is that there's more
than one way to approach a problem. Maybe you want to share what wire
you used to replace the standard, for those with RB300's. I have a Rega
with an RB250, and if I ever get around to installing it, maybe I'll
consider changing the wire some day....

Wow! That's an amazing insight. I never imagined such a radical idea in

Really? What do you think makes it "worlds away" Dave? You mean
removing the word "fairly". Let's juxtapose what you wrote, and what I
wrote:

Dave "World's Away" Weill: "That's pretty inexplicable for a Brit who
one assumes would be fairly familiar with Rega products."

SHP: "all Brits must be familiar with Rega turntables"

So the "world of difference" you describe is in me dropping the word
"fairly". You were saying "all Brits should be fairly familiar with
Rega (turntables)"

Don't know if you realize this, but that petty insignificant difference
changes nothing in my point.

I never know what you're talking about, because you're not clear in
your communication. And if I do so much as drop an insignificant
adjective like "fairly", you're all over me about it. So I'm going to
remind you that you said Brits should be "fairly" familiar with Rega
PRODUCTS. Why you think that simply because Rega is a British company,
that I and most Brits have houses filled with Rega products, including
having a Rega record deck and thus "knowing" how the Rega is wired, is
another matter for the psychiatrists to battle over.

> > I've never

That was to point out the fact that you started talking about Rega
"PRODUCTS". Even if your contention that most Brits are "fairly
familiar" with Rega PRODUCTS was true, and you've said nothing to prove
it is, that still doesn't imply the typical British household will have
one of every Rega products installed in their flats, like a Chinese
buffet, and this would have to include their record decks. Do you think
that Rega gives away their products to every household in Britain as a
reward for having two or more infants?

Apparenly, you don't even understand your OWN use of the phrase
"fairly"! "Fairly" does not mean "much" or "so much", Dave. Now I'm
convinced English is not your first language.

No, YOU are the one coming off pretty stupid, Dave. I've proven several
times now that you have problems with reading comprehension, as well as
written communication. I very clearly said "I haven't gotten around to
installing it and using it". That means I haven't inspected the
underbelly of the deck to see how its constructed, since you have
trouble with the concept. Are you trying to emulate your rageaholic
friend Trevor, by deliberately misappropriating my words? I find you're
just as petty as he is, obsessing over a ground wire.

You're not making any sense. Is English your first language, Dave, or
are you having this translated? For one, I don't recall making any that
you knew what equipment I had on hand, secondly, I did not "claim" to
have a Rega Planar on hand, I have one, third, I don't see what my
tweaks have to do with my Rega, fourth, I don't see what your point

why did you not bother to try my tweaks again?

I used some "leftover" Siltech tonearm wire for the internal wiring.
Leftover, because I literally got 4 x 30 cm as a present after
rewiring 2 tonearms for what were my clients at the time.


That wire was pretty expensive, about 60 euro/meter IIRC.
Luckily, there weren't any SME3012s to rewire, 'cause there wouldn't
have been much left over :-)

Drilling the wire out of a RB300 isn' t something for the
feeble-minded, note.


I replaced the stock cinch cable with 50 cm Monster 400, also a
basement bargain when the local dealer went out of business.
This cable has about 50 pF/cm, which was about half the capacity of
the stock cable.
Not that it matters much with an MC cart, but still....

The connectors are WBT.


Another simple upgrade for the RB300 (and the RB250 as well) is to set
the neelde force at maximum ( > 3 grams), the internal spring is then
free of tension.
Then adjust the tracking force with the contra weight and a balance.

Yet another tip is to have a contra weight made with the hole drilled
excentrical, this improves the balance of the arm and will make for
better tracking of wobbly records.
I have yet to do this, but I have read favorable comments about it.

Adjusting VTA is a royal PITA with this arm, one has to use shims to
do this.
Another solution is to order a nut in the right size, and to mount the
arm on an aluminium "platter" where there is room to put one nut below
and one above it.
Adjusting VTA is then a piece of cake, compared to what it was.

Be sure to make the arm platter as thick as reasonably possible, and
to mount it solidly with many bolts and nuts to the (in my case sub- )
chassis, in order to create a good vibration drainage.

Disagree, Dave. Mr. Sound made an uninformed post, Trevor replied
reasonable and was labelled a turd for doing so. His reaction was no
different to what mine would have been, the more so if I was a techie
with years of experience. I'm still not sure what kind of bike Mr.
Sound's riding, but I think the seat is missing and it's bothering
him.

Incidentally, I've always found Trevor to be eminently reasonable on
all matters save those pertaining to religion, where he abandons
reason for rant. Since no question of religion was involved here, I'm
satisfied that he was being entirely reasonable.

Yes, it's VERY different. "Must be familiar" IS worlds away from
"fairly familair", at least in the world of sentient beings.

You should take an aspirin at this point. Your point is that I claimed

so.

You didn't "drop" it, you changed the whole meaning of what I said.

Like the turntable...oh excuse me, the deck that we were discussing,
or, more precisely, the tonearm that comes on the body...I mean
plinth...on many Regas. The only tonearm that I have direct experience
with, although i'm pretty sure that the other Rega arms are also
internally grounded.

Well, I was right about ONE particular Brit who has such a deck in his
house, wasn't I?

Well, the fact that you have such a turntable but don't know that it
has a condition that you were adamant that doesn't exist seems pretty
darn funny at this point.

And? Is a Rega tonearn not a Rega product?

Well, as it turns out, you have the very tonearm that I was talking
about...what's funny is that you now claim that you "aren't familiar"
enough with it to keep you from having said a stupid thing about
grounding...I mean "earthing straps" on turntables. Not very bright of
you.

Fairly means what it means. More than a few and less than most.

Well, now you're exposed as a fraud. why would you need to inspect the
underbelly of the deck? For someone who claims authority to roundly
proclaim that turntables don't come with grounding straps, you
apparently don't know where to even find them in the first place.

Cool.

Because my system is perfect as it it sits. It cannot be improved by
any tweak, much less YOURS. Why would I need to try an insane tweak

a turntable.

Only costs 70 pounds for the internal wiring kit (Litz) from Origin
Live. . Or you can send it to them and have them do it for the same
amount (but you have shipping costs to deal with). For another 70
pounds, they will supply the external cabling or do the work
themselves for the same price. Plus, they have a structural mod for 75
pounds.

Here's a list of some of the mods for Rega tonearms:

That wasn't the issue I raised. Your question was put in a
disrespectful way, and you've yet to acknowledge that. If I told you
"How often do you beat your wife?", that too is JUST a question. If you
can't understand the bloody difference between a disrespectful question

I OWN a Rega turntable, dorf. I never said they all come with an
earthing wire. Ergo, YOU are WRONG. Read through the messages to see
what was said, before you start lying about what was said, as your
friend Trevor the Troll has done. I'm not going to explain it any
further, so its the END OF THE STORY. Stop flogging a dead horse,
you're not convincing any one of your lies and misrepresentation.

First of all, don't call me "you people". You sound like a racist git,
and given your bigoted thinking about audio, I wouldn't be surprised if
you were. You "claim" that you're trying to understand what the
concepts are based on, yet after reading the phrase "quantum
mechanics", that appears to be enough for you to dismiss whatever the
tweaks might be based on. Even though you still don't know if that
applies. You even go further to demonstrate your undying bigotry and
stupidity and assert that if it were ever based on anything else, like
string theory, you'd sweepingly dismiss that too. So you've proven that
you're an idiot. What else would you like to prove today? Would you
like to prove, for example, how the tweaks can't be associated with
quantum mechanics? Since QM isn't complicated for a brilliant mind such
as yours to resolve, let's see you prove Peter wrong. Start positing
your arguments here:

Look who's talking! You can't even admit that you had written an
insulting way of asking me a question, nor can you admit that you're
too stupid to have understood what I said about ground wires, and
misrepresented my words.

Then start questioning yourself, because your dismissal of all
scientific constructs too complicated for your mind to resolve only
makes you look like an ignorant bigot.

Again, put up or SHUT UP. Since QM isn't complicated for a brilliant
mind such as yours to resolve, let's see you prove Peter wrong. Start
positing your arguments here:

You mean you might be wrong about coming to instant conclusions about
things based on your prejudice, bigotry and ignorance. Maybe you're not
as hopeless as one might think.

No fool. There could be many reasons one responds to a message, for
reasons other than the above. But you certainly do care about the way I
perceive you.

Crock of crap. I'm quite sure I've done more tweaking than you ever
have in my time. Your words here tell me something about your level of
expertise in this area. You don't simply "hear MORE" from one tweak to
the next. Instead, CHANGES are effected. It is the job of the tweaker
to register and define those changes. "Different is not MORE".
Furthermore, some tweaks work, some don't. Those that don't, often
produce negative changes. That's a fact that everyone I know of who is
a regular tweaker is familiar with.
You don't know the basics of how to listen, if all that's happening is
you're hearing MORE, with each time that you perform an A/B trial.
Those that do know how to listen can define what they're hearing.

I say that you're not a tweaker at all. Maybe you've done it once or
twice in your life. Big deal.

The only thing that's worth "two bits" here is your bigoted mind.

I'm sure you could probably solve the world's energy crisis by simply
redirecting all the hot air that you spew. Suggesting that one
shouldn't try a tweak because they are better directing their attention
to energy conservation, basically proves how insane you actually are.
That was a perfect way to end a universally dumb response. Thank you
for that.

Gee, I see your point now. I'm having a hard time seeing where you said
that my amplifier will "blow up" after setting up the grounding tweak.
Oh wait, I think I just found it.... it's right after the word "of" in
the above sentence of yours.

That I have no problem with. It's with the fact that you're NOT careful

edits to change the meaning of their words, so you can make a deceitful
argument against them; as you've done with me. That's because you are a

You wouldn't know a fact if it broke half the teeth in your head, you

Where did you study English? In Russia? If your contention was true,
then you'd have no point in saying "All Brits are fairly familiar with
all Rega products". Because VERY different than "MUST be familiar" is
"NOT familiar". "Fairly familiar" means "All Brits have a passing
familiarity with Rega products". Which is clearly an idiotic statement
to make, and shows you know nothing about Brits, except what you've
watched on Monty Python. I'm sorry to have to inform you, Weill, they
don't hand out Rega products to all Brits upon graduation.

You should take a chill pill Weill. You can never admit when you're

You're just trying to save face for a stupid mistake, Weill. Stop it,
you're not convnicing. You can't even define what it is that YOU said
any longer, you're so busy flogging this dead horse. Learn from your
mistakes and move on.

Again, don't make me responsible for YOUR mistakes. On the one hand,
you want people to understand specific meanings that you give to words
that only you know, and on the other hand, when you generalize, you
want people to understand your specific meaning. How long has it been
that you've been out of touch with reality?

No you weren't. Just because I have a Rega product, doesn't mean I'm
familiar with it.

Only to an imbecile Weill, only to an imbecile. "Sentient beings" have
the wherewithal to understand that owning a product and being familiar
with it are two different things. You're not big on thinking, are you,
David?

Yes. A Rega CD Player or loudspeakers is not. I see you're still

Sorry, you're wrong. Again. Rega CD players and loudspeakers DON'T COME
WITH GROUNDING WIRES. I can see that there are no depths to your
ignorance, David. So why am I trying to talk sense to you? You
obviously have never owned a Rega product, you obviously never know
what you're talking about, you obviously will never admit when you're
wrong, and you're obviously wasting my time.

Now you're resorting to flaming people for making the tragic mistake of
dropping a letter in their typing? Very classy, David. That basically
is an indication that you've lost an argument, and have no other
"tactics" to resort to.


> Fairly means what it means. More than a few and less than most.

You're coming off pretty stupid here, but what else is new. If that's
the case, then you're making the leap of logic that it would include me
was arrogant and presumptious of you. But keep flogging the dead horse,
maybe it will come back to life, Weill.

> For someone who claims authority to roundly

Ah.... nice of you to lie like that. I did no such thing, and you know
that, since you pointed out to Trevor the Troll that I did NOT "roundly
proclaim that turntables don't come with grounding straps". And yet
you've now resorted to lying as badly as he does, in order to try to
win an argument.

You just lost all credibility once again, David, and proven how
deceitful you are. Thank you for that.

LOL! You've never actually taken apart a record deck, have you David?
Perhaps you think the ground wire is sellotaped to the side of the
platter? You're the one who just "exposed yourself" as a "fraud", who
has never worked on a record deck. And yet you can't stop opening your
big mouth and stuffing your foot in it. You're a joke, David.
Definitely not worth anyone bothering with.

Why do you think I care whether you try my tweaks or anyone else's? Do
you think I make a profit from you trying my free tweaks, you drooling
imbecile?! LOL! You could not have done better in just proving what an
ignorant dupe you are. Let's count the ways: First, there is no system
on earth that can't be improved by making changes to it. That would
presume that YOUR system is the only hifi system that has reached the
previously unattainable goal of 100% perfection. You should submit it
to the proper organization. I'm sure that the audiophile industry would
be keenly interested in seeing how you acheived 100% perfection in your
sound reproduction. Secondly, you've just proven you don't know where
to find the grounding strap on a turntable. Which makes _you_ insanely
ignorant. Thirdly, you not knowing where the grounding strap is, or
even if it were me, would not have any relation to whether a given
tweak works or not (particularly since most are not mine). You've again
just proven what manner of idiot you are Weill, by making that sorry
attempt at logic.

The only "insane tweak" around here David, is whatever the heck someone
did to your brain.

You've shown that you can obsess and argue for so long over the most
petty and trivial things, not ever admit that you're wrong or that
you're lying, and not ever apologize for hypocritically accusing
others, like your rageaholic friend Trevor, or Walt, or Steven
Sullivan, for doing the same thing that you do. And because of that,
you keep on flailing your arms forevermore and hope someone will
notice. Won't be me!

I never said that either. Adding two "alls" is just symptomatic of
your apparent disease.

Sorry you have to tweak your system though. Perhaps you might try
getting some of it out of the closet.

It's not ME that's wasting your time. <chuckle>

I obviously own a Rega product *and* I actually know about it...

What a joke. Most grounding straps that I've seen are simply spotted
by looking at the end of the RCA cables. That's because you attach
them to the receiver at a spot close to the phono jacks. You do know
what they are, right? They're the little holes in the back of the
receiver and the little screw that sits close to them is where you
attach the grounding strap.

You remind me of the guy who's seen looking under a streetlight at
night for a quarter even though he dropped it 50 yards away, simply
because the light's better.

I went to one of those great books colleges. My sophomore year,
I was in their Oxford program. Of course, I spent a good deal of my
time there watching Monty Python,.years before it got to the US.
I can remember more Monty Python than I can remember Descartes, Durkheim,
Freud, Marcuse, Fanon, Kant, Lavoisier and Mead. Watching
a couple of Marx Bros. movies should be good for
"At least" ten credits.

A stereo is what it is. If you want a better stereo,
get a better stereo. or bi-amp. In general,
tweaks are marginal.

No, the tweaks _you_ have tried are "marginal". The tweaking I have
done can transform a system in ways far more significant than a
component upgrade or biamping. Don't think that the world stops and
ends by the considerable limits of your experience. That's very
ignorant of you.

And yet you totally dissed my creative suggestion to use pictures of

Takes one to know one, Mork. Nanu, nanu. Your ideas are ignorant and
phoney. Just like you, by coincidence. Good tweaks aren't good because
they're "creative", idiot. They're good because they're "smart" and
they "work". I don't "claim" to have all this great insight... I do.
And none of my tweaks are "inexplicable". How would you even know, when
you've never asked me for an explanation? Just because you're too
ignorant to understand them, doesn't mean they're inexplicable. Yours
however, are, because you don't have the imagination to come up with
new trolls in 8 years, let alone valid tweaks. But prove me wrong.
Explain your dumb phoney joke tweaks to me, tell me what they're based
on and why they would work. If your theories are scientific and can be
checked out and validated, I will try your tweaks.

Since we both know your tweaks are just more dumb jokes, I advise you
to take the high road and shut up now, little Georgie. Before I
humiliate you further....

You must get tired of being an ignorant fool and proven wrong all the

I liked the tweak where you covered the working bits of your Rotel
820A with Fun-Tak. You could throw it at a wall and it would stick.

So, how about answering MY question...

And I find it funny that you're ridiculing George for "trying" your
tweak. I guess that speaks volumes about the tweak, even though it's
as much a sure thing that George tried your tweak as that you meant it
as a serious tweak...

Although i have no need for tweaks, since my system is 100% perfect as
it sits, I can pass along this tweak from the old days. Feel free to
report back:

Place 4 acoustic guitars in your listening room (one on each end of
your couch and the third and fourth facing you at a 30 degree angles
no more than 5 feet away from the listening position) and listen to
your system at a volume of no more than 85 dB. BTW, I recommend that
you not use guitars with rock maple backs and sides, because this will
harden the sound excessively. And please try to use non-laminated
topped guitars. This deadens the sound.

You'll be amazed.

Oh yeah, since my system is already at 100% perfection, I have to make
sure that all acoustic guitars are absent from my listening room
before I participate in a *serious* listening session because it
interferes with the proper soundstaging of my system (as well as
screwing up the timbre of recordings that feature harpsichord),
although my Goldtop Les Paul copy with the P-90s doesn't seem to
affect anything unless I plug it in and actually play it.

Nope. Not a dumb joke tweak at all. You need to take your own advice
and try something "outside the box". Poor little puppet.

Now, aspirin and folded paper. Can't compare to known resonating
surfaces with Heimholzesque resonators and sound boxes.

Nice fantasy from you, Mr. Anonymous. However, Hugo Boss isn't *my*
fantasy of great wear, I hate leather sofas and I certainly don't
think that one needs to spend huge amounts of money on gear (nor do I
think that any of your stated tweaks so far have anything other than
entertainment value).

But thanks for exposing your own dreams and wishes and style
preferences.

Now, since you don't have the guts to explain how YOUR tweaks have any
basis in reality, stop demanding others to do the same.

You're dismissed.

Oh yeah, still never got the Modest Proposal reference, did you, Mr.
Obtuse?

George proved that he can't explain the basis for his bogus joke tweak
(because it's a bogus joke tweak - duh!). How on earth do you expect to
do that for him, when it isn't even your arse that he pulled it out of?
Or is it? Hmm..... Well anyway, are you aware that you have this
condemnable habit of responding for George every time I ask him
something? I realize you two are the biggest trolls here, but
really.... how low on the totem pole of RAO regulars do you have to be,
to be the representative and spokesperson of an ankle biting mosquito
like George Middius? LOL!

BTW, there's a carrot waiting for you in the lobby, garbage boy.

You can't even keep track of what you're talking about. I never
commented on George's tweak, only my own. Please try to snap out of
your autistic daze and try to keep up. And don't dismiss my tweak
until you try it, especially since your stereo is admittedly so
inferior that it needs loads of help.

Of course you snip the part where I note that you don't bother to
"explain" your tweaks.

BTW, since you are now the brown stain on RAO, here, have some TP. If
you drape it across the bridge of your nose, you'll find your
soundstage locking into place.

All of your posts are an attempt at "morphic resonance". So what?

Get back to me when you've tried a resonance tweak that has sound
principles behind it - like my 4 acoustic guitar tweak. Until then,
you'll just show yourself to be the very sort of ostrich-in-the-sand
type of RAOer that you claim others are.

Now THAT'S a joke.

>Speaking of which, you're dismissed.

Can't even come up with your own material. Pathetic.

I'll tell you "so what". So you just proved you have no bloody idea
in the world what "morphic resonance" is, actually. And by God, after
net stalking me so many times, DEMANDING that I explain my tweaks to
you, you sure shut your Weillian yap real quick, didn't you?
Where's the "credible scientific evidence" that disproves the
theories, that I asked you to bring with you when you reply? I told you
that you were a fat-mouthed imbecile, no different than the other
ignorant gits on this group (even though were "claiming" superior
intelligence and knowledge), and that all you'd be able to respond
with was a dumb, hollow, Middius-style derisive quip. And that's
EXACTLY what you just did, which proves everything I've said about
you being a dumb loud mouthed ignorant.

> Get back to me when you've tried a resonance tweak that has sound

Nice way to change the subject Weill! Hoping I won't notice you just
dumbed yourself out of a credible response, moron?

>Until then,

No, actually YOU just showed yourself to be an ostrich with your head
in the sand. Just like I've been saying all along about you and your
dumbass friends. You wouldn't have the first clue about audio if it
kicked you in the teeth, garbage bag boy.

> >You will surprise both me, my colleagues

Yes, you sure ARE! Thanks for that. You're giving us a real good
time, laughing our asses off at you!

Thanks for playing my game so well, Dave. Guess what, amateur troll?
You've been mated! You're my trophy troll, so I think I'm gonna
frame this one on my wall and call it "Dave Weill Tries To Be RAO's
HERO, Fails Miserably!".

For this garbage bag boy, you get TWO carrots today! :-)

You said you use it "in the first place". That's your breakfast table,
right?
