Fix up my old AR or get a new table?
the acrylic platter opened up the top end,but the outer ring clamp semmed to help the most.The clamp really stabilized the sound field and locked it in with precision.The Rel Cap replacement was the original valuethat I has on my machine.

Fix up my old AR or get a new table?
I had the original AR Table many years ago and got all the full blown mods on it from George Merrill at the time.Then I thought vinyl was dead and I sold it for almost nothing,to this day I kick myself in the pants over this.I had the new motor th...

Need Help With a Bright System
My overall impression of Kimber ic's is that they tend to be analytical with emphasis in the top end.A Transparent Cable or older MIT 330 IC's would eleviate the problem,plus give u more solid bass response.The MIT's have this even consistent soun...

I changed my mind.The most jaw dropping component is now my ARC VT-60 which I had done up chromed by a plating company.I need to post this on the Audiogon.A looker for sure. 
Which JBL 4300 series speaker is recommended?
Is the 4311 a medium size monitor? I use to own a 4343many many years ago.This speaker was a huge 4 way.The 4311I'm sure can play very loud.I use to hear them with the DJ'sduring the Disco Era,running them with Phase Linear Amps and preamps.I'm su...

This is a tough question with the headphone output.Are u taking about and integrated amp or seperate amp?I'm not aware of a seperate amp with headphone output.An old Hafler DH-200 Amp can probably be found at thatprice range.

Why don't kids nowadays know about Jazz and classi
I've played in our local symphony" The Skagit Symphony",for the past 15 years,and its been my experience that not even 5 percent of the audience is young people,maybe 1 percent. Even when we showcase a young artist concert featuring a talented you... 
What is your most beautiful component?
My Marantz 120 FM/AM Tuner with the beautiful large display Oscilloscope you can see the Audio signal pattern as music is being played,and see what multipath distortion really looks like,But I guess that would'nt qualify it as very bueatiful. 
Audio Research LS-15 Infincaps
I've been a cap fan for years,sustituting this cap for that in previous ARC Preamps.In general terms Rel Caps put out a nice midband reproduction,and image fairly well.Infinicaps has this high freq. extension in air,which lead to a much broader an...
