Been  meaning to post this for a few days now...

I was recently
spinning  some discs on my Victor Orthophonic suitcase model, and it
dawned on me to  try something out.  I slipped a new needle into the
shank, and I  pulled it back out maybe a millimeter or so, just enough
to keep the blunt  end from resting against whatever it rests against
before tightening the  thumbscrew.  I immediately heard a noticeable
difference in volume  (maybe 1 to 2 dB), slightly wider frequency
response, and most  significantly, an openness (for lack of a better
word) I'd never heard  before on any windup phono.  It seemed like all
this time, something  was slightly constricting the diaphragm, just like
pretty much every windup  phono I've ever heard in person, and suddenly
there was a whole new freedom  to the sound pouring out of it.

Has anyone else ever tried/noticed  this?  Mr. Bogantz, is this my 
imagination?

Best to  all,
Robert
