| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? OP I looked at the specs of your intended Mono Phono EQ, it is versatile but ’locked in’ to Mono, seems unnecessarily so to me, certainly for my mixed use of 3 arms and ’mostly Stereo, frequently Mono’ which I think is fairly common.

| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? btw, IF you use different cartridges on different arms, Arm Height Adjustment becomes very important. I am loving my restored JVC Victor UA-7082 and Acos Lustre GST-801, both of which I learned about here. Here's my simple fix of the UA-7082 arm ... | |

I just replaced my stylus, easy, did it upside down while mounted on my old fixed arm. Cartridge $185., extra stylus $100. I se... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? My 1Cent (mono after all), is that what I learned here is true: a TRUE Mono Cartridge is best, no need to put my mode switch in Mono Mode. How Much Better? a little, some, more, a heck of a lot better, depends on the individual LP, but the key is... | |

| Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ? Definitely, You need to simply observe for a while, get a sense who is who, then, like me, ask for advice. (other research of course). Search old discussions, the expertise is deep. I joined just prior to Covid in 2019, and ended up completely r... | |
| Hexagonal spanner for Fidelity Research FR 66S tonearm this heavy ring has no flat spots, it has two holes, you temporarily put a rod in the hole and tighten it with the rod.
