| Classic 3 VPI If you are planning on using more than 1 belt on your Classic turntable, make sure that you have the correct non-stepped pulley often referred to as a HRX pulley. | |
| Ref. 3A Grand Veena or Aerial 10T? Both are great speakers but they do not sound alike and their amplifier requirements are almost the exact opposite. With a high power high current amp, the Aerial’s can produce some of the best bass but they are not the last word in transparency. ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? @lewn, just took a peek at your SP10 Mk3 on your system profile, very nicely done. I like it a lot. | |
| Tri-Planar Vll "SE Upgrade" @nandric, it would appear that you prefer simple statement of facts, thus eliminating any confusion as to the meaning or intent. Please allow me to re-post my observations.To my ears, my Tri-Planar does not mistrack when playing music albums I don... | |
| Tri-Planar Vll "SE Upgrade" I own a Triplanar U2 and I have never experienced tracking issues, therefore, I've never felt the need to use a test record to perform a tracking ability test to diagnosis a problem which I feel does not exist. | |

| Teres 255 Turntable belts impossible to find! Why not just make one? Fairly simple. | |

| Are You Sorbothane Experienced? The best way to help isolate your table from a bouncy floor is by addressing the floor issues or by getting your table off the floor onto a load bearing wall. | |
| Airtight 300b or Coincident 300b? Yes, all amps employed EML 300B XLS tubes. | |
| Airtight 300b or Coincident 300b? Which Coincident 300B amp are you comparing? The current Frankenstein or the older MP300B? I have listened to the Airtight ATM300B and both Coincident 300B amps with Avantgarde Duo speakers and my preference was for the Airtight. Very quiet amp... | |
| Good preamp with Merlin TSM speakers? A Joule Electra LA-150 can be had for far less than $3K, be patient. A word of caution, Joule is out of business and support is limited. Give Rich Brkich of Signature Sound a call as he has taking over the support of both Merlin and Joule. G... |
