| Hana SL or ML? @mekong56 I was given a $300 or $350 credit towards the M when I traded up from the S. I thought that was pretty good, and I don't particularly like buying or selling used cartridges. Yes, that's very good, thanks | |
| Should I buy a VPI SCOUTMASTER. I OWN 25 RECORDS. A solid turntable is a DIRECT DRIVE turntable, not a belt drive at your price range. Several people advised you a Direct Drive earlier, but you are still talking about low quality belt drives. If you want to spend your money on quality then look f... | |
| Sorbothane record weight? I think 350g weight is perfect for any turntable, it's not heavy, most of the record weight are about 350g or less. | |

| Cartridge repair by Moscow based Roman?? @uberwalts I ran Denon 103R’s, both stock and modified (mainly with line contact styli) for about 7 years and about 6000 hours. If you can explain then how many times it was re-tipped? If the total is 6000 hrs then it must be re-tipped nearly 6 t... | |

| Cartridge Upgrade - Nagaoka or Goldring I know that specs are not always everything and the Nagaoka gets good reviews. I have never seen a bad review for anything in audio, all reviews are good nowadays, almost for everything. But I read the specs for 1042(Nude diamond line contact) Lin... | |
| Cartridge Upgrade - Nagaoka or Goldring @mr_m I have owned the Stanton 881S for a long time. In my system, the Nagaoka is the superior cartridge. in fact any of the Nagaoka’s will out perform the Stanton. you don’t listen to specs, you listen to the cartridge. IMHO. Nagaoka is a Low co... | |
| Cartridge repair by Moscow based Roman?? @hdm this is fine, but it’s you and your cartridge/records, i don’t know anyone in this world who will use a Line Contact tip for 6000 hrs. If it is good for you please do not try to tell anyone that it is normal, because it is not. You will never... | |
| 45 tubes for Yamamoto A-08s No, they do mods only for those who’s buyin’ an amp from them.I got my amp from Japan, i want to use what i have without any mods in the tube sockets. So i’m looking for RECTIFIER tubes that i can just plug and use.P.S. And new EML RECTIFIER tubes... | |
| Cartridge repair by Moscow based Roman?? Chakster makes some valid points but his comments on the Denon 103(R) conical are absurd. That cartridgestylus can easily be run for 800-1000 hours with careful cueing and clean vinyl. The 300 hour statement is ridiculous. The Denon conical is one... | |

| 45 tubes for Yamamoto A-08s For some of those European tubes the sockets must be modified like this. I have standard 4 pin sockets.I am like this dude | |
| Arm Board source for Technics SL1000 MK2/MK3 I’ve seen a fake one on Acoustand they were designed to look identical on the picture, but was made without metal frame. Anyway later i realized they got nothing is stock and everything made in order, guys are very slow. You may find something usa... |
