| Mint LP Solution Audio Intelligent #6 works well as a 1-step fluid. The best? I don’t know, but it will serve until you find one that’s better. I happen to like Audiotop, but that contains alcohol. And it is on the expensive side. | |
| Capacitors for Linn Linto phono stage Recap I had an old Linto that I really liked, but when it went several techs refused to work on it. Now I see why. | |
| My PerfectWave dac is working! Did you call PS Audio? They pride themselves on customer service. So says Paul at least. | |
| Any Modwright CXN v2 owners who want to share their experience? @tubeguy76 - check out Underwood’s website. Good descriptions of the audio GD products. Keep in mind that some are quite big and heavy, if that matters to you. | |

| Integrated amp recommendations for Harbeth 30.1 From what you are saying, I recommend something with tone controls. Cuts down your choices, but offers a lot more options when listening. It’s not a sin, believe me. | |
| What would my Rega 25 be worth? I would price it at a little over 50% and let people knock a few bucks off. Believe me, if you priced it at $1.00, people will try to get it for less. | |
| Four Hour Tube Amp Warm-Up When I had my Viva, it was 45 minutes. You could set your watch by it. 4 hours seems long, but who knows. Ask Kevin from Upscale. He’s pretty familiar with that brand so I hear. | |
