| 2023 Florida Audio Expo Show Report @mikelavigne I did not see any presentations or demonstrations of a tonearm or TT that had not previously been displayed at the show. Many rooms had an analog source they did employ, but digital seemed to be the dominate music source. | |

| Rega P10 v Complete rebuild Garrard 401! The spacers for Rega arms are designed to go between the arm base and plinth under the three screws. Some are individual shims allowing one to raise the arm by a millimeter or more, some are designed to have a few different options in the spacer ... | |
| Help and Advice Needed: Cary Audio SLP-05 Preamp RMA Disaster You may want to look at a VAC Renaissance V preamp. It is not 6SN7 based but it does balanced ins and outs, has a remote for volume and mute, and a home theater pass through. You will find these same capabilities on other VAC preamps also, but a... | |
| Speaker setup: Looking for Golden Sound Test Tones I believe what you are looking for are the “LEDR” tones. I have found them on a “Nordost System Setup” disc and also on the “Chesky Jazz Audio Sampler and Setup” album. Do a google search for the “LEDR tones”. Also there is a good write up of a... | |

| Which integrated for Wilson Sabrina's I own a Gryphon Diablo 300 with Rockport speakers. It is not edgy in any way and I can absolutely say it is worth finding somewhere to audition one if possible. On the other hand a good friend has recently changed his system to a pair of Wilson... | |
| Amp biasing question My previous tube amps did not require the preamp to be connected, but if it was then it should have no signal going to the amp. What is critical for most tube amps is that the speakers are connected as they are a critical part of the output circu... | |
| Experiences with the Degritter RCM I am an early adopter of the Degritter. Previously employed a VPI 16.5 machine for 10 years with an intensive 3 step process including three separate wands to prevent cross contamination. The time and focus involved to properly complete a cleani... | |
| Upgrading from Fluance RT85 to VPI Scout The Ortofon 2M Bronze is an step up from the Blue and possibly the sweet spot in the Ortofon 2M line. I have a friend using the Bronze on a VPI turntable with excellent results. The Unipivot arm is definitely different but after initial trepidat... | |
| Diablo 300 DAC Module - upgrade DAC or Streamer? These changes are all additive. The combination of “under the shelf” plus “under the footers” may have been too much of a good thing. Just one of those alone may be better than none at all. If you are now at a place where the system is sounding... | |
| Diablo 300 DAC Module - upgrade DAC or Streamer? I have my Diablo 300 sitting on an Adona rack with it's granite surfaced multi layer shelving for a very solid foundation. I considered other footer and isolation options but none I have borrowed seemed to provide any improvement at this point, t... | |
| Tone arm holder fell off I have owned many OL arms without any issues in this area, but spare replacement parts are available directly from the company. https://www.originlive.com/shop/spares/tonearm-spares.html | |
| Amplifier Recommendation for Spendor D9.2 Speakers Previously owned the Spendor D9 speakers. Started with a Ayre VX-5/20 power amp (SS 175 watts/channel) with a VAC tube preamp and then a Gryphon Diablo 300. I have also listened to them with a DSA 100 watt pure class A amp. They preform well w... | |
| Help recommend a good tube preamp VAC’s customer service is renown for being awful — unforgivable at their price points IMHO and I’d never give them my business when there are so many other excellent brands out there that actually support their customers— VAC, ARC, Atmasphere, CJ... |
