| Koetsu cartridges - what arms work? I had a Classic Red and a RSP on the Da Vinci Grandezza arm. It worked great. I also had the Classic on a Linn Lp12 with Ekos arm and it worked very well also. | |
| McIntosh MR78 upgrades? I had some good tuners in my audiophile life (Naim NAT01, Sequerra Ref) and still have a Tandberg 3001A for sale and a recently acquired Leak Troughline 2 (shipped to London Sound for check restoration and alignment) with De Paravicini stereo deco... | |
| Best one step liquid record cleaner.??? L'Art du Son is the one I prefer. You have to respect proportions of water and cleaning fluid and let it rest 2 mInutes on the record before rinsing and the music sings. AI n°6 is really good too but you have let it rest a few more minutes before... | |

| If NOS pre or power tubes became unavailable altogether, what new tubes would you buy? The initial post is not Tubes vs SS but "what would you choose as new production tubes if NOS disapeared". Good music can be obtained ind with both. Technologies thanks god.At that time I still have nos tubes, pre and power in my pre and amps, but... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I didn't want to hijack the thread, but just answer to Tommylion and make a parenthesis in the dispute" this can't work" "voodoo" "Synergistic salesman" for a while. Nothing more, and I'll stop here now.But this not your thread.I am happy with Syn... | |
