@drbarney1Assuming your labor is free, what is your budget for materials and parts ? fwiwI know of two people that went this route. They both had the same challenge The Bearing "House" aka the Bearing Chamber. They both ended up with the same typ...

120 ? really ... icoremI see that as people age, they become more grumpy and mean. Complain more. Because of this, I can see my millennial fraternal twins putting out some kind of hit on me, long before 120. 8^0 The only wear items on my turnt...

I remember it was different effect when i touch my tonearm, staying in front of my turntable on a carpet with slippers on and off (the latest was no problem :)) So put the slippers off.That's a pretty extreme measure. I know people that really lov...

You sound happy with your 2.5 Pegasus. Be glad that Bruce is not based in Europe with an audiophile mentality. His prices would probably be double. 8^0 I think the manufacturer builds product, and provides general guidelines based on his/her desig...

Yes, and the arm will then “see” varying degrees of damping as the paddle traverses the trough. Not good.Frogman/PegasusNo not good. A case of the "tail wagging the dog" ??We are dealing with an exotic tonearm here. We go to a lot of trouble in se...

@pegasus re: Decca.PegasusReflecting about this review, a suspicion came up: The double tie-back thread is probably for DJ cueing reasons, but... it stabilizes ("grounds" ?) the cantilever better, and must reduce horizontal compliance.https://phot... 
Can you put a Krell in an apartment?
Jeff, the whole power issue with the Krell 400cx and similar generation amps is very confusing and IMO, Krell is to blame. The owners manual is clear and supports what Krell told you in your original post. From the 400cx owners manual. "Make sure ...
