| Whats on your turntable tonight? @flennon The Parks Puffin does a good job of removing pops from records. It's not the ultimate in refinement, but a great value at its price point. | |
| How much difference does a phono preamp really make? If your cartridge and the rest of your system aren't revealing enough, there's not going to be much if any difference... on the other hand, if they are, the phono stage matters a lot. It's amplifying a very small signal and how well it does that ... | |
| Zu Audio Modded Denon 103's Zu does modify the Denon 103 and brands their name them for a premium (~ 367% in this case). Well I guess that clears them of any maintenance type issues that one may encounter. While that seems to be okay with most people...Even companies that ac... | |

| Zu Audio Modded Denon 103's I've seen those Zu cartridges and never could figure out why they were so much more than other DL-103 carts.I wouldn't buy one. The only reason I have one is because it came with a turntable I bought. I have to say though after Andy Kim worked his... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report I bought a 5.1 SACD copy of Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here a while ago and finally popped it in the Oppo. The 5.1 mix was done pretty well and it's kind of a fun listen, but I prefer two channel. | |

| Zu Audio Modded Denon 103's Try Andy Kim - http://www.phonocartridgeretipping.com/I bought a turntable with a Zu Audio DL- 103 (not the Mark II). It had a problem in one channel and i sent it to Andy. He repaired it and put a new cantilever and stylus on it and now it's one ... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw I have a NM- 1975 Kendun copy of Katy Lied that is really good. I probably should have stopped looking there. The guys on the Steve Hoffman forum aren't very kind to the MFSL Katy Lied, but it would be nice to have one. Not worth the curr... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A discontinued @bpoletti I have silver on my VTPH-2A, M1 amps, and VTSP-360. One of our regulars here has a custom wood faceplate on his VTPH-2A, it's pretty cool! | |
| First tube preamp recommendations (under $5k) I’d stay away from some of the very boutique brands. If you decide to move on you may find it hard to sell. If I were you I’d go for Audio Research. It’s well built, is desirable on the used market and sounds terrific! Audio Research made a lot o... |
