Yep, I said I had . . . confesion time, I havent, but it did not cost me anything, just a bit of time and thought. Recently got backsome cleaned records, they sounded great. However I could now hear sonthing that I could not before. Was that destotion at the very top end of the frequancy band, I was not sure, but as I have always said 'trust your ears', there was something there.
But what . . . I changed nothing, just hypothasised, nothing made any sence, Then I remembered, the fine tune balance weight on the back of the arm, a weight running on a threaded rod. one has always thought this weight felt slack on the rod, no fixing. So lets fix it. Much brain scratching came up with so minute gossomer threads, I mean tiny, we are talkingm spiders web tiny, Braided fishing line teased out into its component threads. A few threads wraped around the threaded rod put enough friction onto the weight to stop it moving.
Job done, top end is now tight and crisp, bonuses; chest shaking base, improved dynamics oveall, and the volume had to be turned down. Cost nothing, a bit dificult to work with is the gossomer thread, its why I must keep tweaking, the system sounds better.
