| Best used turntable/arm combo for under $7,500.00 Basis 2500 with Vector Arm, will even have change left for a nice cartridge. I have owned one of these for years, superb sound and trouble free. I also own a TW Acoustic Raven 2 with Tri-planar Arm and the Basis easily keeps up. | |

| Cleaning speaker cabinet? NHT 2.5i Give it a polish or two with "Zymol". This will protect the finish and give it a very deep shine. I use it twice a year on my MBL 111s and used it for years on my Kharma 3.1 speakers which always looked like new. | |
