| Hum Problem with Grado I have NO hum with Grado XTZ on all my turntables (i have 7 of them).You’re better search what atmasphere posted in another thread, the problem is your turntable. | |

| 45 tubes for Yamamoto A-08s @sdrsdrsdr yes, my concern was only about this particular combo, the reason i asked before for Yamamoto preamp than nobody tried, i realized that it will be overkill for my 101db speakers. Pass ALEPH L preamp available in several versions, the one... | |
| 45 tubes for Yamamoto A-08s To my surprise i have plenty of gain with my passive Pass ALEPH L preamp with Yamamoto A-08s, this combination with Zu Audio Druid is shockingly good. I was a little bit afraid that with 2w single ended i will need some active gain stage, but i wa... | |

| Audiophile Albums....Yes indeed The main entry for me were the albums themselves which sell for $300 -$3k. Only an audiophile board is appropriate for such things IMO Record collectors are NOT audiophiles, only some of them, collecting records and audiophilia are two different t... | |
| phono stage/preamp project the classic superpack help with set-up please I’ve heard somewhere that modern belt driven TTs are better for preserving your records? (that’s very important to me) Is there any truth in that?What? Record wear factor is all about CARTRIDGE and STYLUS PROFILE (mainly condition of the diamond s... | |
| Audiophile Albums....Yes indeed The most interesting in this article (and i didn't expect it) is that a guy behind Peacefrog label who pressed electronic dance music for decades in the 90's finally dug his father's vintage records. This is a natural progress for a person who own... | |
| Recommendations for a tonearm upgrade on a VPI Classic 4 turntable look for REED reed 3p for example, available in 9.5″ 10.5″ 12″ with different armwands | |

| phono stage/preamp project the classic superpack help with set-up please That pro-ject is belt drive, i would never spend than much on belt-drive, look for Japanese Direct Drive instead:Technics 1500c comes with Cartridge and buit-in MM phono stage £899Zu Audio Omen Bookshelf $1899 (high efficient speakers)+Low Power a... | |
| Add cartridge to current lineup I'm wondering why so many Rega users asking questions of audiogon, almost in every 2nd post it's about Rega turntable and compatible cartridge (or Pro-Ject turntable and same question) ? Just curious who promote them so hard so people buying only ... |
