| Need help-Looking for A New MC cartridge If you have a cartridge you love, getting it retipped is the cheapest way to continue being happy. I use VAS. | |

| Absolute Monster SAM Turntable Fancy looks and cheap price. As for extra tonearms, I can recommend acoustand tonearm pods that can be made to measure either for sitting on a turntable or on your turntable stand. They are very heavy and come with spikes, so solidity is a given. ... | |
| Relaxing Records for Better Sound - Using the AFI FLAT Many years ago I bought the first iteration of the Vinyl Flat and Groovy Pouch. I have had about half a dozen unplayable records (I'm not really interested in treating minor warps where the record still plays. Heresy to some, but there we are. Rau... | |

| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm What's this, Lew? Only just discovering it? It's a bloody wonder for the price. Spare styli for it are cheapest at https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOACS-69258. I've stocked up. | |
| Anxiety help needed. New instal of Hana ML Please tell me to just take my Lexapro and drink my coffee and relax. That’s all I’m asking. Maybe decaf in future? | |
| Has This Kind of Tonearm Been Made? It strikes me that this is the kind of thing an obsessed hobbyist could make for himself. The only difficulty being getting the gantry rigid - a triangular section box structure might be best, and to make the hinge have no play in it. Possibly eve... | |
| Has This Kind of Tonearm Been Made? Oh well.... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Frankly, this is all about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, unless, or until, we listen to the underhung arm in question. I have not, but I can encompass how and why it might sound better in my dreadfully simplistic way. I'd buy one... | |
