| JVC TT 71: buy now for spare for my or TT81? I've been using a QL-7 with the TT-71 while I mount a second tonearm on my TT-81 in the two arm JVC plinth. While the specs of both motors are similar, the TT-71 has noticeably less torque. Of course, it's possible my TT-71 is less than optimal; b... | |

| cartridge set up I have the manuals for the Well Tempered Classic arm. Specified distance from the spindle to the arm mounting post is 9.2". Be advised that this is not the same as pivot to spindle, as the expectation is that you rotate the arm frame on the post u... | |
| VAS (Steven Leung) cartridge repair/retipping service? Steve received my cartridge on 4/25/20, replaced both cantilever and stylus, and shipped it back on 5/15/20. I sent him my Triplanar at the same time and he shipped it back on 8/27/20, but it needed considerably more work and he had to source part... | |
| Rogue Audio Metis Magnum upgrade. No experience with Rogue, but I've had some pieces upgraded by other manufacturers. $450 for all the above work plus they give your 10 year old preamp a thorough going over? I think it's a no brainer if you're planning on keeping the amp.All the u... | |

They were very helpful in setting up the RMA, and I got notification when they received the return asking for the purchase details for warranty purposes. I told them I had bought it used so no warranty, ... | |
| An audio rack that really does make a difference. I've had a Timbernation rack for years. Highly recommended, especially because you can get it customized to meet any requirement. Chris is great to work with. | |
| what are your cartridge set up go to I use the Feickert protractor and find it accurate and easy to use. I've never owned the Nasotec tweezers, but they seem like a useful tool. I just use needle nose pliers and and grab the cartridge clips by the solder flange. Seems to work fine. | |

| BAT Owners - 6C33C Tubes Question 3 months? I have a JAS Bravo 2.3 in my living room that gets played every day, and I'm on the same set of 6C33s that I stated with a year ago, and that's with many rolls of both the rectifiers and the input tubes. Your BAT must ride those power tu... | |
| Have a Victor UA-7045 tonearm coming My current rig is a Victor CL-P2/TT-81/UA-7082 and I've been very pleased. It replaced a Technics SH15B1/SP-15/modded Rega RB250 and gives me both better sonics and much more flexibility. My counterweight droops a bit but I don't believe it degrad... | |
| Stockfisch DMM Dubplate LP "After the DMM-Dubplate has been played, it should be placed back in the plastic sleeve together with the white protection sheet, in order to prevent oxidation."Will that really prevent oxidation? That would be my biggest worry. | |
| What to do with pre-owned vinyl? Check with your local college/public/independent radio stations; many have record fairs as fundraisers and are looking for donations. WFMU might be a good place to start. | |

| Usless but interesting ....how many of you old timers started with original Large Advents? I started with New Advents in 1978, and used them until I "upgraded" in 2004 to Epos ELS3s. I still remember them fondly. :-) |
