When I'm looking to make an upgrade or side step I like to have as much information about the items I'm looking at as possible. I take every comment I rea... | |
| Does it make sense to retip vdH Grasshopper cartridge One last thing to consider AJ VDH is getting up there in years so best to get it done now IMO. many of the pioneers in Audio Land are getting up there in years like many of us. | |
| Bluesound Node 2i network server/DAC yes you can put one component on one input and the other on another. unless I'm reading your question wrong.cd player to your old dac to your line 1input. your blue sound node 2i to your line 2 input. | |
| Plinth to armboard interface Garrard 301 plinth my temporary footer set up is a steal cone sitting in a brass disc with a dimple with some very thin (1/16") sorbothane pads under each brass disc. this has been good but not the best as it floats and may not be that stable specially if bumped.

| Help with phono amp upgrade I would recommend you try IFI's new power supply with your Ifi Iphono. I had the Iphono2 and it is quite a bit better then the original. Really hard to beat for anything less then $1000. The new power supply is not very expensive well under $100 a... | |
| Does it make sense to retip vdH Grasshopper cartridge As for Stylast, my VDH manual actually says to use it every side. Stylast is a lubricant not cleaner. I also agree with chakster, if you send your VDH cart to lets say sound smith you will not get the VDH stylus cut but something different also ... | |
| Plinth to armboard interface Garrard 301 plinth Thanks guys for the feedback.I had a plinth made by a local man who has made many plinths for both Garrard's and TD124's, good friend has two or three of his plinths all beautiful and effective. Mine is a multi layered Bamboo ply with some insets... | |

| When do you turn off the tubes? Always turn off tube amps when not in use or near future use. No reason to leave them on they voltage stabilize within mins and with the heaters warm up in 10 mins or less. really not worth the tube wear or power use if not going to be used in the... | |
| the Garrard 301 plater is concaved. Of course I read quite a bit about the Garrard tables and never came across anything about the plinth being concave. really I posted this for some of us that didn't know but also as a funny post of my set up mistake, as human we all do them from t... | |
| the Garrard 301 plater is concaved. everything I ready prior to my posting said it was a design feature, I was just surprised to find it in a table designed in the 50's. The old Garrard's were better designed then I originally thought, well at least included some modern thinking. | |
| the Garrard 301 plater is concaved. I usually use both a long and a short I just got a new bubble and was trying it out. Didn't know the Garrard plater was concave always figured it was flat seems I was wrong haha. more funny then anything how we can make a simple mistake and have y... | |
| DC Offset Blocker/Killer - where to buy in the USA I did not read the whole thread so sorry if this was addressed. doesn't Mac use transformers for coupling? so maybe there is only one power transformer that's why only one is humming. The others could be for coupling. |
