| Scheu table question from past posting - images Rapogee, it appears you don't have the inner bearing o-ring. Is this correct? It also appears Scheu changed the configuration of the outer bearing to use an o-ring rather than an attached piece as is the case with my table, which is an older Eurol... | |

| DIY balanced interconnects I'm sure you'll get some helpful responses here, but you might also want to pot this over in the cables section of Audio Asylum. Lots of DIY cable folks over there.FWIW - I really like the Switchcraft XLR connectors and I have a preference for OCC... | |

The only option would be to buy one used.If you just want to get an idea of the VAC sound and want to listen to some of their am... | |
| WHAT'S THE BEST SOLID STATE PREAMP FOR $3000 ?? To me the specs on the X250.5 do not look like a match for any type of passive (low sensitivity, input impedance, and gain). A low output impedance active preamp should do the trick, or the Pass B1 buffer preamp.Many fine active preamp recommendat... | |
| Looking to get a turntable. If you like Thorens, try here:Vinyl Nirvana Thorens TD-165$319 plus cartridge. Dave knows these and AR tables well. He may even have an upcoming project table that you might be interested in. Worth talking to him. | |
