| the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile Early '70s, Infinity 2000 electrostatic speakers. The shop played a Cat Stevens record through them and I was hooked. I was driving them with a humble Sherwood receiver. Later I got a Mac C26 preamp and a Crown DC 300A amp. I couldn't afford the... | |
| Cayin, Line Magnetic, and Willsenton with 805 Feedback Completely agree with @helomech. I still own a Cayin A88T Mk II that I purchased around 2007. It sounds great, built like a tank and responds well to upgrading the preamp tubes. I rotate the Cayin into my system with a Luxman integrated. | |
| Tone Arm lifts at end of playing a record Make and model of TT? | |
| Garrard A70 Turntable State of the Art. | |
| Most recent concert Van Morrison, Santa Rosa, 5th row center in October. Simply excellent! | |
| Best ear plugs for both sound quality and reduction Like others have mentioned, customed fitted by an audiologist are your best option. I have Westone with three attenuator selections. | |

However, the Modwright sounds better and is quieter than either the Pass Labs or Paras... | |

| Tone Arm Lifter I also use Little Fwend on my 1200G. It works great and is easy to install and adjust. I first had the Tru Lift, it was very finicky. | |
| What would you save in a fire? "Misplaced blame. The voters voted to build more Reservoirs 8 yrs ago. They were never built nor were the existing ones maintained with water. I don't think the fire chiefs are responsible for that." I have lived in No. CA since the mid '60s. CA ... | |
| Qualified service technicians disappearing! Recommendations wanted Several years ago, Audio Classics refurbished my C-26 preamp. They did an excellent job and I got it back in about 6 weeks. | |
| SL-1200 G Power cable Agreed. I had to prop up one side of my G with a stack of books to get the cables properly seated. | |
| Phono cable for SL-1200G I also use Silnote for my 1200G. | |
| Insurance for system As stated by others, stereo equipment is covered under the personnel property coverage of your HO policy. However, records are considered media and may have a specific dollar limit. Read the policy |
