I'm doing everything on a single page until it gets too unwieldy. (Granted, it may already be too unwieldy...) -User:Axon

TODO

(that are non-obvious.)

  • Explain further the mastering differences between most LPs and most CDs
  • Find/create a diagram for the different parts of the turntable

Objective vs. subjective information and "common knowledge"

There is an utter dearth of information on this subject. This is kind of a big issue for an HA site entry, since most information out there is not that good, and runs contrary to the goals of the site.

However, such information should still be categorized. The fact of the matter is that a lot of it does make some engineering sense, and hardly anybody ignores it entirely, but a clear distinction should be made between the "common wisdom" of turntable design and performance, and the performance metrics that are measurable and objectively audible. -User:Axon
