| Did anyone else disconnect thier equipment due to the geomagnetic storms? I'll get around to it maybe next week. Or the following week, if I remember. | |
| How often, and how, do you clean your stylus? I clean after 6 - 10 sides. I rotate between Blue Tack, Disc Doctor cleaner / brush and a cleaner / brush that was recommended by Lyra for their carts. | |

| Phono preamp with multiple inputs?? Suggestions please!! @elliottbnewcombjr It appears that the long (12"?) tone arm on the right side of the table is improperly set up.

| AT-OC9XMLvs AT-OC9XSH No, not sure I want to spend the money of an ART9. I might consider sending the Skala to Soundsmith, but it will not have the dynamics of the AT candidates. | |
| VPI Prime Sig/Lyra Delos / Feedback ...help! @tommypenngotti My direct experience was with a Lyra Clavis Da Capo and a Skala. Both were defocused and thin sounding on the VPI JMW 12 on an Aries Extended (original). On a "custom built" table using original VPI TNT components and a Jelco T... | |
| VPI Prime Sig/Lyra Delos / Feedback ...help! I haven't heard YOUR table / arm combo with a Delos. But I have not had good experience with Lyra cartridges with the VPI 12" unipivot arm (VPI Aries Extended). Have not heard ANY Lyra cartridge work well with a VPI unipivot arm on any table. I... | |
