Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

RE: Just briefly scanning that VERY long page...

Price is $1100! How many will read that page and still think it's a good investment? I never saw a product with so many warnings and conditions. It seems they only want the cream of the crop, customers entirely self reliant, who won't dare to bother them with questions. According to them, the instructions cover everything, the entire gamut of cartridge set up. The whole thing is very strange.

I love this one!

"19. How come the setup does not trigger an emotional response as much as it did when I simply use my ear to setup the cartridge."

"AnalogMagik's design goal is to retrieve signals from the LP accurately with minimal distortion. Triggering an emotional response is not a design goal or a benchmark we use."

It's actually a good answer. But the question does bring up an important point. You've been mounting cartridges for years without this device. You think you do a pretty good job. After all, the music sounds great. Will using this device propel you up towards analog heaven? Will the improvement be so striking, so ethereal that anyone can hear it?

Maybe the purpose of their warnings is to lower expectations and discourage all but the very high-end obsessives who demand no less than PERFECTION. Of course, they'll still be miserable...
