| Seeking speakers under $3K for 10x12 ft room and driven by 20wpc tube amp I'm specifically using, thus recommending AR-2ax. Aren't there other 3 way compact speakers out there with larger woofers to recommend? | |

| What devices have you found useful when inspecting your stylii for cleanliness? lak, interesting, but the max is only 3.5x, and getting the right distance to the object is important, not to mention, viewing the underside which is why a magnifying mirror works well. | |
| What devices have you found useful when inspecting your stylii for cleanliness? lewm, guilty, I knew it at the time about the stylus, but safely seeing while cleaning the stylus is important. I didn’t imagine cleaning lp’s to be a part of this, but when he mentioned how hard it is for him to see combined with checking betwe... | |
| What are good options for re-wiring an SME 3009 tone arm? Don’t forget to replace the rubber sleeve that isolates the rear counterweight portion from the front portion of the arm. Your new wire will need to pass thru it. IF you can handle the super delicate Litz Wire, eliminating connections seems advan... | |
| What devices have you found useful when inspecting your stylii for cleanliness? Checking after each side is played is over-doing it IMO. I check when I turn the system on, while warming up: check, typically ok, or brush a speck of dust, or maybe if I see something more stylus cleaning fluid with it's cap brush. Or, you hear s... | |
| What devices have you found useful when inspecting your stylii for cleanliness? I keep a small 20x magnifying mirror loose on the deck below my cartridge, no need to remove the headshell or cartridge or stylus. The arm remains locked in the rest, you simply rotate/tilt the mirror this way and that for any view I just found... | |
| Cartridge and phono stage for Pioneer pl518 I found and just read about RigB which stands for Rigid Body, RigB Article I found I often recommend the 540 as a starter MM cartridge, however, I would spend any extra money moving to a MC Cartridge. I highly recommend my choice. AT33PTG/II ... | |
| Music Hall Classic Turntable Staying with that TT, I would consider buying a few extra headshells (they are removable, they are a special size/shape with an offset at the end of a strait arm. OEM cartridge is a MM Moving Magnet type, with unimpressive specifications, thus it... | |
| McIntosh MC240 vs MC 275 I'd like to hear them! You could get thee another mc240, have a pair of 80 wpc mono-blocks. Play very dynamic music loud with your existing one, then play with two, decide: keep/use the pair, or original single was enough all along. You will kn... | |

| Seeking speakers under $3K for 10x12 ft room and driven by 20wpc tube amp chenry OP is planning for a small 6’ listening triangle, that might be a bit close to that model JBL. He mentioned a new Black Ice integrated tube amp, I presume, like me, tube heat in small room, a low powered one. I see they have 12 wpc and 25... | |
| Seeking speakers under $3K for 10x12 ft room and driven by 20wpc tube amp I do not think 20 wpc is enough for low efficiency speakers in a small room, just not loud enough for some material/occasions. Some peaks will be out of gas. Low efficiency speakers, I would want a 30-45 wpc tube amp, and that's too much heat for... |
