| DynaVector DV505 is it worth the hassle? Lewm, my post, which is the first response in this thread, mentions the short arm and massiveness of the structure as a whole. The Dynavector consists of two separate tonearms, a very unusual design allowing for low mass in the vertical plane and ... | |

| DynaVector DV505 is it worth the hassle? The Dynavector 505 is not more complicated (in my opinion) to set up than other high quality tonearms. I owned a 505 some years back and had no issues with it other than it's unusual appearance and massive overall weight. The overall weight could ... | |
| Regular Blue Note reissues quality? I agree with Viridian. If you must buy Blue Note reissues, and cannot justify Music Matters, see if you can find your favorite artist on Mosaic box set. They work out to about $15.00 a disc if that particular reissue is not in too high a demand.Mo... | |

| Stepped Attenuator to replace Potentiometer. What pot? How old is this Wolcott? I've been involved with this company for many years and there is no gain control I'm aware of.Are you referring to the feedback control? If yes, that does not serve the same function. | |
