That sounds promising :) We go from 1.4 to 1.7 so it looks like big upgrade. I was not aware of it. I also have an Entity 1.0 that needs an upgrade.

Re: Understanding what a good rack needs to deliver

I got shelfs from a construction shop for my second Harmony rack. https://www.bauhaus.se/hyllplan-paulownia-18x400x800mm This Paulownia wood is very light and stiff. It also looks very good. I think it sounds excellent even compared to my original Harmony rack with Mimer and Tor shelfs. Not better b...

Re: AirPlaying Around

Today I finally tried my idea to use an Apple TV and Numerik as a low budget Spotify streamer. It works surprisingly good. I use the optical out from the Apple TV into a optical to coax converter into the Numerik. I can't judge the sound quality because I have nothing to compare with. Well, it sound...

Re: LP 12 felt mat care

Yes it works pretty good I think. The only worries I have about it is that if you have a fresh tape that is super sticky it may pick some felt material from the mat. You can roll it on your swetter a couple of times just to remove some stickiness. I use one of these to keep them clean from dust. htt...

the good thing is Linn lets you connect it only one way the connectors have different diameters - you will see it when you unpack them Thanks! Krystal is playing now! Installation was quite easy.

I finally got my Krystal after a some wait. Very useful information here but still wondering about some things. Is there a direction on the cables? One end has color coding and the other end is black. Should the colored end be attached to the arm or the other way around? Torque 0.4 Nm on Ekos2? IMG_...

Re: Karousel

Checked my two LP12:s, both have the outer platter a little bit higher than the inner. One is from 86 (upgraded to circus in 90:s) and the other one has a rather new cirkus and a new outer platter from 2018.

Re: Recommended tool for 242 3 k array torque settings

You have to carefully pry out the rubber rings holding the grilles into the cabinet. Thanks Thomas! It was easy to do it. Wow they sound good without the grills! They're not going back on. Coming back about torques. I find it quite hard to judge. Now playing with 0.8 Nm on 3K and 1.0 Nm on basses. ...

I would like to try some different torques on the bass drivers on 242s. How do you get to the screws? Any ideas how to take these grills off?

You´re right, it´s a typo! I was looking on the scale on the driver but forgot that it´s a 1 also to be added. Sorry I should have written 1.6... . I change that in the post above so no confusion starts.

Re: Using Torque Screwdriver on LP12

Have now tested a few torques at the arm collar screw. It was the easiest to start with. Started at 1.5 Nm and then increased to 1.6, 1.65, 1.7, 1.8 Nm. Very close between 1.6 and 1.65 then the rest was clearly worse. The driver makes an audible click at the selected torque value. I made two clicks ...

Now I can join the torque driver club! Got one secondhand Sturtevant Cal 36/4 from US, the cargo and import charges was more than the screwdriver it self.

No other changes were made to the system. ... Thanks Thomas for doing these tests. Quite intersting that optimal torques are different on ...
