| Primaluna Preamp Users' Experiences Driving Solid State Amplifiers I run an Evo 300 into Van Alstine monoblocks (which are left on 24/7) and have no issues turning the Evo on and off | |
| Vacuuming after ultrasonic vinyl cleaning I use a thin plastic slip mat sheet for the first side vac, then remove when flipping the album. It came as a protective sheet with a Herbies slip mat. Works great | |
