| retipping for Grado The Reference high output cartridge Grado just like any good manufacturer do not retip, they get your old and give you new cartridge with special discount (only if you send your old cart to them).

| Preamp for Herron VTPH-2A All my peers romanticize Klipsch, Shindo and Garrard, to the point of nauseam, and even I am a child of The Loft ... @au_lait I doubt anyone understand which Loft do you mean, but I guess you're talking about David Mancuso's Loft in NYC in the 7... | |
| For all you Vinyl lovers! In the final scene in the workshop, the record is warped. make sure your CDs are not warped, it's much more problematic than warped records | |
| Preamp for Herron VTPH-2A @au_lait All my peers romanticize Klipsch, Shindo and Garrard, to the point of nauseam, and even I am a child of The Loft .... The Loft ? Wow, it’s not easy to meet a person who was at The Loft, only on audiogon ... :) From this article about the... | |
