Phasemation cart on Technics
Thanks @lewm  and you are correct about my mistake. And yes, its dumb of me to be asking questions after a handful of hours but I guess I wonder if its the suspension or the tonearm (which is not a great fit). I'll keep on keeping on.  
Phasemation cart on Technics
@pindac  thank you. I will revisit this. I guess I wonder if the tonearm/cartridge compliance might also have something to do with it?  
Tube preamp topologies and music
I talked to an Audio Note dealer who said he listens to Slayer as well as drum and bass on a  Meishu (300b). no AN dealers in my state but I’m even more lost now.

What about punchy bass? I’ve was the Leben can do that.  
Tube preamp topologies and music
@dogearedaudio  thanks. I run a pair of subs off the speaker taps which I assume I could still do. I’m a fan of high efficiency speakers and would like some La Scalas at some point. I am trying to wrap my head around tubes to see where I may land.... 
Tube preamp topologies and music
Thanks all for tons of info!    I’m trying to parse things as best I can so I wanted to use an example: Air Tight ATM-2: KT88 push/pull Air Tight ATM-1: EL34 also push/pull driving 99db Klipsch heresy 4 nor make listening volume at 80db

Great thanks  
Tube preamp topologies and music
Perfect thanks. That makes sense. So Probably a push/pull design would fare better? What role do the tubes play in this say a push/pull kit-88 (Air Tight ATM-2) vs a 211 push/pull (LampizatOr)?  
Glanz toners for dummies
@mikelavigne  thanks. When reading the Glanz site all the copy reads the same. Unfortunately the upper arm is out of reach but still believe the lower arm will be an upgrade over my current arm. I’m looking to run Phasemation and similar carts whi... 
The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"!
I wish the 5.5 had the glowing logo like the meteess #16   
The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"!
@johnah5  sonically what separates the new 5.5 and the #8? They are relatively close in price. I’m curious as to what would prompt one to select one vs the other.  
Technics SL-1210G Headshells, Record Weights, and Mats
@badgerdms  I have been very curious about the Origin Live weight. All the layers of wood to absorb vibrations and such makes sense to me. I may take the plunge.  
Phono cable not caps to le with preamp?
@ghdprentice ​​@lewm got home and swapped cords again. I get sound from both outputs. Playing with the ground alters the tone of the buzz a little bit that’s it. old phono preamp back in and quiet as a tomb.   seems like sloppiness here but I... 
Phono cable not caps to le with preamp?
@lewm it’s a buzz. Like overdriven guitar sort of. I put the old phono back in (Andover SpinStage) and it’s dead silent again.   ill play with it tonight and see what I can glean from it. I’m in touch with the importer as well.   edit: forgot... 
Phono cable not caps to le with preamp?
I just had a thought. Since the phono and power supply are in wood boxes instead of metal would they’ve more susceptible to interference?
