| Vinyl lovers I must be crazy Orpheus,I have 200+ records and at least 100 78's. I am also aware that new records can be very expensive but what isn't expensive. There are still retail stores that I know that sell new and used vinyl and very reasonable costs. | |
| Vinyl lovers I must be crazy Inna & Artis4n,That is the type of advise I am now looking for. Both of you are recommending spending most of my budget on a tt/arm combo & phone preamp. Buying used is certainly an option I will strongly look at. I could also increase my ... | |

| SS for Merlins VSMs? Paul,I have been a tube man for years believing that there could be no SS that I would like as well as a great tube system. I tried Pass, TRL, Rowland, and more but none to my ears were as enjoyable as a great tube system until now.I have discover... | |
| Best preamp: Viola, Jadis, F.M. or Jeff Rowland ? I have owned the Joule Electra LA 300ME for the past year+ and my search for a great preamp is over. How does it compare to the above mentioned preamps, I can't tell you. I have compared the LA 300ME to some other high priced pres and for my ear t... | |
