Help with Cartridge selection
I'd have to agree with Bill & Dan ed. Your TT, arm and phono pre deserves much better cart than you have listed. One thought is that if you go with the Benz line, you may be able to pick up a factory rebuilt Ruby, Ebony or LP at a good discoun...

Hi TonyUnfortunately, no. I am willing and able but have never heard from anyone concerning a time and place. I suppose I could host but i am in Kingsport which is 1 1/2 to 2 hrs from Knoxville and about the same from Asheville, NC. I assume I am ...

MFSL Super Deep Cleaner or Enzyme?
Thanks for the replies. Doug. I have wondered about the AIVS cleaners but haven't read much about them. Then too, I've been hanging out at the low budget vinyl forum where DIY seems to reign, Maybe I should change that since I generally come here ... 
Replace OL Illustrious 3 with Graham 2.2?
Thanks hifidaddy 
Replace OL Illustrious 3 with Graham 2.2?
Thanks JohnThe arm is the version 3 just previous to the carbon fiber arm wand. After re-reading some info on the OL, I am in agreement with you that it should not be dismissed easily. I guess i was feeling somewhat insecure about it and needed re... 
Replace OL Illustrious 3 with Graham 2.2?
Thanks Doug. Ill check that out alsoBTW I snuck in the first Scoutmaster I owned. The MMF-7 which it replaced was black and so they looked similar from a distance. I was waiting to see how long it took her to catch it. Unfortunately, I forgot abou...

Dan Ed? A question about your equipment racks. The racks are fashioned after the ones on Chris Brady's site I believe. Are you using a sand box under each component as shown on Chris' site?Thanks 
Replace OL Illustrious 3 with Graham 2.2?
Thanks for the link Dan Ed. The guy I bought the TT from had a triplanar on it but finances did not permit. I had to sneak the OL illustrious in the house. I got a very good deal on it and what few reviews I read gave it much praise. at the time C... 
Replace OL Illustrious 3 with Graham 2.2?
Doug. I never intended to give the idea that the CDP sounded better than the Teres. However, my exuberance over the improvements which the Oyaide R1 AC outlet brought to the cdp did come through. I'm surprised the cdp sounds as good as it does. Ho... 
Replace OL Illustrious 3 with Graham 2.2?
Thanks Doug. Your last statement concerning the 2.2 vs OL was my main question. That said, I would buy the 2.2 if it were an upgrade. They are quite inexpensive right now and that was my reasoning. The picys and listing of my system is out of date... 
Replace OL Illustrious 3 with Graham 2.2?
Thanks Steve. This is info I did not know. What you have described seems to describe what I am hearing and the difference between the TT and cdp.That said, I may have sold the TT somewhat short when it is not the TT's fault, but mine. I have made ... 
Replace OL Illustrious 3 with Graham 2.2?
Is the removable arm wand made for the use of different carts by switching out the arm with pre mounted cart? Also, what is the size of the mounting hole? Im not sure if arm mounts are available for my TT anymore. I could make one but I don't need... 
Turntable Problems...Upgrade from Benz, Funk to???
I'd say you are on target with the scout. I had the scoutmaster and it excelled in the bass area. I'm not that familiar with $200 cart so I cannoy be of much help there. I will say that if you can stretch a bit, the Dyna 20xl or xh will be a good ...
