Thank you Mr Krosschell, Your words really make my day. :-) Thank you very very much my friend.... Life's aim is not to be better than other people. Life's aim is to be better for other people. To that, I'll continue to strive hard to keep us connected and to keep our beloved Vinyl Dream alive :-D !!! Best regards to you and your family, Ian.

Oooooh.... wow!!! That is great!!! Hope to see you Teik!!! WE all do our part spreading and engaging the vinyl love to our friends around us!!! Sincerely, Ian.

Hello Ian, sorry for my confusion. My name is Bob. My friend passed away a few months ago. His name was Teik. He is just like you - passionate, caring, teaching others through audio to share love music. You are like his twin. Thx for your youtube channel.

My pleasure, my friend in Vinyl!!! :-D

:-D thank you buddy!

Count me in my friend. 30minutes at least!!!!!! €&*!@# arghh... Hahaha... :-D I don't have good hand dexterity, but I do have a lot of commitment. Hi five my friend!!! Sincerely, Ian.

Thank you Sir! :-D

Hi Dave!!!!!!! oooh you lucky audiophile staying in Sussex near Steyning!!! Is Avid near your place too :-D? Thank you for your encouragement too brother!!! Warmest Regards ( i heard from other British friends that the weather recently dipped to 8-10degrees Celsius)... ~ ian.

Dear Samuel, Again, my pleasure! Thank you for your time and appreciation too my friend, - ian :-)

Hi fellow Friend-in-Vinyl!.. yes the reason why the Mono cartridge ("Miyajima Zero") went to the 12inch arm while the Stereo cartridge ("Lyra Delos") is going to the 9inch arm, is because the owner's record collection consists of 80% Mono LPs and 20% Stereo LPs :-D. ...and he values listening to his prized first pressings jazz mono LPs more than the stereo ones as well... that's why he preferred to invest more and focus his efforts and wants to derive more listening joy from the Mono cartridge, and he feels 12inch arm would give him the better sound. Thank you for your comments and interaction :-) ! See you again! Best regards, Ian.

+Brendan Vyner Thank you Brendan! I will do my best for all of you friends....it is my commitment and wish to serve the community as best as I can. Regarding the new Dr Feickert NG tool, yes, I had. They are found in the more recent videos I have just put up: "Turntable Set up : Important 1st step", and also "All 11 steps of Turntable Set Up." Thank you my friend for your kind support and encouragement! Best Regards, Ian.

+HiViNyws channel hi. I saw the first important setup vid and that was great as I saw you put it together. However the only video I saw about using the Protractor was the old one where you and Vincent setup the TT for someone? I didn't see any setup with the new NG?

+David Dennis You're right with the SME arm adjustment!!! :-D It is slightly different from most other tonearms that have no sliding base design! Thank you David for pointing that out! Best Regards, Ian.

OOOoooh!!!! YOu have a Blackbird too!!! :-D Congrats Steven for your fine purchase!!! Kuzma 4point!! AND... a lovely wife to indulge you with a cartridge rebuild!!!! Merry Christmas my friend indeed! Dear Steven, I have asked the local Dr Feickert retailer before and he said that after getting the 1st nullpoint correct, you can shift the NG Protractor anti-clockwise or clockwise and land your stylus on the 2nd nullpoint and ensuring the cantilever is parallel to the hashmarks. You CAN shift the protractor. As long as you manage to get the 2 nullpoints landed by the stylus with its cantilever parallel to the hashmarks respectively on both nullpoints, even if there is some movement of the NG Protractor, in between, it does not matter :-D!!! I really hope it helps, I had also asked Vincent, the nice guy in the video! Best Regards Steven, from ian!

Thanks Ian! That really does help and was super fast. The Feickert instructions don't mention this with the protractor that came in my Feickert box. Note I don't have a protractor NG - but it looks similar (however lacks the PVS arm). When I used the paper protractor that came with the 14" 4 point 3 months ago the instructions indicated I could shift the protractor around, and I debated doing this with the Feickert protractor since it doesn't say this is a thing that can be done. Looking forward to getting my Ortofon Cadenza Black mounted to see if it is more detailed then the 2m (groan) that is on there atm that I scavenged from my old Project turntable. I'm a bit concerned about resonant frequencies - at some point I'm likely to need a cartridge that specs well with my tonearm. IMO tonearm is almost more important then the turntable itself :) If I ever add a second tonearm to my Blackbird, I may add an 11" Kuzma and make a video of it. There is only one video on Kuzma setup, and the fella makes it look easy - however, as my first time tonearm and cartridge setup I found it to be super challenging - even after reading through the instructions 10-20 times :) The cool thing though was I learned every little bit and piece about how turntable setup works and how a tonearm works (atleast the Kuzma). Fantastic tonearm. Regards -steve

Roger that brother Josh! And I still remember your shifting and overhauling your system to a new one!!! :-D Am I right? Best regards always, Ian.

+HiViNyws channel That is right! Things have been crazy :) I'm not sure how to send you an email, Ian...

+Josh Docken Dear Brother Josh... i apologise for the delay, :-) this would be it: hivinyws@gmail.com

You ARE Sharp!!! (We all had a lot of fun with these speakers ever since 20years ago...didn't we :-)

Tudor Rapeanu Mono cartridges typically use a conical stylus. So yes, set up is a little bit easier.

Dear brother-in-vinyl!! :-D Sorry for my late reply. This Blackbird is not mine, it is my friend's. And he paid 9,000 Singapore Dollars for it (without tonearm), inclusive of tax. I guess you have it much cheaper there my friend!!! Best Regards, Ian.

I do! That's a first. Thank you. I guess it's because they are made quite near by.

Yes! Just nearby!!! :-D

Yes, you're right Brother, thank you for pointing that out for all of us to know 🤗💪👍thank you!!!

@@HiViNywschannel no worries, thanks for recommending the Nagaoka MP110 and the Schiit Mani. They've been life changing for such a small cost and within my budget! Will you be posting any videos soon?

@@Psychobeppe Thank you Giuseppe!🤗🤗🤗🍀yes I'll be making new videos after this virus situation has cleared off and people are better. I'm a doctor too, working longer shifts to help our national efforts fight this war, and watching the suffering of so many people in various countries, losing their lives/loved ones, and their jobs, I cannot bring myself to heartily talk about sound quality comparing various audio equipment... apologies as I empathize with the people and can't feel any way otherwise... Brother, thank you for your understanding. We can always chat here🤗🏡🍀

@@HiViNywschannel much love and respect bro.

Hi! I am staying in Singapore. And I do not own any shop! :-D I am not in the hifi business. I intend to keep it this way. I enjoy vinyl music playback tremendously and Hifi. There are my passion and my hobby, and I want to keep it just this way. Best Regards! Ian.

Thank you Buddy🤗🤗🤗...she is. My kawaii-chan.... love her a lot... she's besides me now, as usual😍.

my friend Johnny needs one tonearm to be fitted on with the Mono cartridg: to play his Mono records, and the tonearm to be fitted on with the Stereo cartridge to play his stereo records. :-) it works out to be a better solution to him because he doesn't want to buy 2 turntables, each with 1 tonearm. :-D He prefers it this way to have a turntable with 2 tonearms. Thank you for your enquiry. Helps other viewers to understand better as well!! Keep the Vinyl Spinning!
