I do not see pre-out/main in on the rogue rp-1 preamp on order. That is what you would want to go out to a stereo pair of self-powered subs, send the bass loa... | |
| To extend Ethernet to remote location, are Powerline extenders or Mesh systems better? all these options, buy via best buy, amazon, ... decide, order, works, or return it! order two types, keep the best, return the other. | |
| $1,500 phono upgrade worth it? femoore1 and I agree, tube system, highly efficient horn speakers, tweeters just juiced up, SUT, phono, no hiss or hum, dead quiet until the needle drops. My tonearm wire needed replacing, it was causing problems because of a design flaw, insulat... | |

| Thorens TD-350 power transformer I would go aftermarket to get listening asap then get lucky some day to find OEM, perhaps a transformer; a whole TT for parts; one nicer than yours, or with a nicer tonearm; then sell or use yours for parts, i.e. maintain flexibility in your futu... | |
| Does a cartridge that has been in storage for an extended period need play time… Oh yeah, I have rubber restorer I use for rollers on tape recorders. My AT440ML: I put a tiny bit on the intersection of the cantilever into the body with a tiny brush, left a few minutes, then a whiff of compressed air... not to my friends. | |
| Does a cartridge that has been in storage for an extended period need play time… Currently I am using two ’long stored’ cartridges, and surprisingly, they both sound great. Played a few hours for a few days, then started listening critically. I assumed the rubber/whatever the cantilever passed thru would be dried out/hardened... | |
| Technics Turntable Database, KAB Electro-Acoustics: Technics Specialist danmar, If you meant me, thanks, I'm sure others would rush to differ. Turns out my friend whose Technics SP-15 I just worked on (fixed/installed 250 tonearm/b500 base) knows Kevin, he worked on his SP-15 successfully in the past. | |

| $1,500 phono upgrade worth it? I'd be exasperated, and suspect of that unit as you are. Phono, even without a problem, it's a quest and luck, I believe in return option. I would select a phono stage I could return, on the expectation that the noise will disappear. If noise is... | |
