Next Phonostage
I own the TW phono stage. It has stayed constant in my system for a while now while other stages have come and gone. The only phono stage I have heard and contemplated replacing the TW was the ARC ref2 phono.Lotus is correct, the ARC has such a hu... 
Graham IC70 v. Furutech Silver Arrow
I would be interested if anyone has used the Silver Arrow.I just swapped my Furutech ag-12 in for my graham ic70 and happy with the clarity it has brought to the upper mids and treble. Gotta live with it a bit first ad swap back to be sure it is a...

Your worst gaffes
Selling my FM acoustics 122 years ago. 
Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1
The TW ac-3 does not have speed stability issues. It has been rock solid for the years I have owed it. My old VPI HRX had speed issues. Each time you measured it with the kab strobe it would be a different speed. The TW is always the same. However... 
Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1

Replicant 100 stylus longevity - truth or myth?
Hi Wrm57 By sonics and starting to not track as well. One day I'll get someone to look at it. cheers 
Mint LP Best Tractor---HELP
Been there done that. Harry's VPI alignment sounds better than either the baer or Loef alignment that Yip does. Why, because Harry's alignment is his own and does not follow any B, L or S standard. IMO, Don't waste your $$ on mint or any other ali... 
Replicant 100 stylus longevity - truth or myth?
Truth. My A90 got to about 1200 hours. I no longer use it, which is a pity as it sounded great. My two dynavector XV-1s have lasted for around 3000-3500 hours, currently on my 3rd and my current Atlas is rated to last at least 2500 to 3000. only t... 
Any reviews on Hanss PA30 phono amp

Anyone own a Pioneer Exclusive P3 ??
Congrats Voraratc, wonderful table I have the P3 manual if you want it - In Japanese :-) The P3A is functionally the same table with slightly different tonearm - mainly in the arm wand. The only difficult thing about the table is the damping fluid... 
EAR 324 vs Einstein The Turntable Choice
RaulHow did you like the ear 324 on mm carts only? Plenty of adjustable gain, cap and loading adjustments ( including 100k) makes it look like an extremely good phono stage. And no sut in the mm stage.Cheers
