Much of what you say is true. The washers certainly are an inaccurate way to adjust VTA. VTA is more or less critical, depending on the quality of the cartridge and your associated equipment ( how much it lets you hear the change ). If you had a t... 
What Liquid in PAD interconnects?

Can you top this ?
Lugnut, haven't you seen people do the same thing to an automobile? Still, It is a shame for someone to ruin a nice player like the Linn LP12. Perhaps you should let him hear your player so he knows he has been taken advantage of.

Avnut. I have a lot of experience with Tube Research amps. I owned the GT 400 and a good friend owned the GT 300. What do you want to hear from experienced users? Quality of sound, reliability?On the thread topic, I have heard VTL in several situa... 
Who R U?
So Patrick, how about a ride in that '67 Nova? I used to race a '66 Stingray with 427 (405 HP) four speed. Those where great years when you could open the hood and actually see the engine. Welcome to Audiogon, pleased to hear comments from another...
