| TUBE NOOB: ADVICE NEEDED ON REPLACEMENT TUBE Does anyone think it is possible to tweak the gear to handle something more common like a 12ax7? Would those tubes offer better performance then these obscure 6cl8a tubes? | |
| I Got Some Classic Cartridges Need Set-Up Advice I quite like the Grace f9. I am extremely curious if your f9 made it through a test lp with that weight setting. Rauliruegas, do you mind if I send you a private message to discuss the Grace f9, I have a lot of questions. I think the Madrigal cart... | |
| I Got Some Classic Cartridges Need Set-Up Advice I suppose you are right, the arc length does change. But the difference between Stevenson and Baerwald will won't diverge dramatically even if you add an inch to your tonearm. Could you explain this magic eraser method please.

| Ortofon 2M Red Not Happy Need advice gimme some more on the 2m red vs m97xe. I am particularly curious about the detail/accuracy, and harshness. Though I agree that at these price ranges we shouldn't be splitting hairs. | |
| Ortofon 2M Red Not Happy Need advice Donate, no. Sell maybe, but I don't think we can talk about that in here, I would have to post the item for sale. Arrangements can certainly be made if you wish to exploit my loss. | |
| Ortofon 2M Red Not Happy Need advice " It's not easy to buy steak on a hamburger budget."You can say that again, looks like I got taco bell meat instead of hamburger meat. This cartridge would make a sad and weak bbq! | |
| Ortofon 2M Red Not Happy Need advice Well, I am disappointed by the 2M red and Blue. I see lots of hype and no results. Even my girlfriend was able to pick out the grace f9 when I blind tested her. I think I might call the cash I dropped on it a sunk cost, as I the shop doesn't carry... | |
