| The Growing Challenge of Buying NOS/NIB Tubes @rspyder If a vendor said that to me I would tell him to take his tubes and shove them far up his ass and put all his emails in my SPAM folder. There are other tube vendors out there, such as Brent Jesse ( have bought many tubes from him and he... | |
| Testing stylus wear. You may want to get a stylus timer to keep track of your hours. All you have to do is remember to turn it on and then off when you are finished playing records. I bought mine from Music Direct. 1 ASTMSTYTIMER | |

| Herron VTPH-2A vs ModWright PH 9.0 @three_easy_payments +1 on the Luxman EQ500! I am using NOS medical grade European Amperex tubes and it sounds so good! Even with stock tubes, it beat the Tavish Adagio and the Herron. Also the most quiet phono stage I have ever owned...tube or ... | |

| Phono cables Stick withe the Aural Thrills or try other cables. Many cable makers offer a least a 30-day trial. I personally like (use) WyWires and they offer cables at different price points. Contact Alex and discuss your situation, as he offers free consulta... | |
| Phono preamp suggestions; can I improve upon my Aesthetix Rhea Sig ? Personally. I would stick with the Rhea for a while, at least until the VPI and Van den Hul have broken-in and you have a good feel for the sonics. You may be surprised at how much you enjoy the sound with your new TT and cartridge with the Rhea ... | |
| New turntable +1 for the Acoustic Signature and they come in at different price points and with a 15 year warranty (for the table)! I have the Hurricane Neo with a Kuzma 4Point9 arm. Obviously above your budget, but you may be able to get a deal on some models.... | |
| Next MC Cartridge Advice/Recommendations After wearing out my Kiseki PH stylus, I switched to a Hana Umami Red and loving it! I have had it only for about a week and more break-in is likely needed to get its full measure, but it’s definitely more extended in the upper frequencies and mor... | |

| Acoustic Signature speed change from 33 to 45 My Hurricane Neo speed control works just fine. Good luck @astolfor on getting your issue fixed. Hopefully it can be resolved by sending you a new motor control "puck". | |
| Acoustic Signature Vs VPI Prime Signature The new Acoustic Signature (AS) Neo turntables carry a 15 year warranty which is what pushed over the edge to get one (Hurricane). After much deliberation, I opted for the Kuzma 4Point9 tonearm instead of the AS-2000. The next level up from the AS... | |
| What are some of the better tuners out there? Yes, there must something wrong with your equipment. There is no way that you should be replacing tubes so often! I have a MD 106T and the tubes are probably going on ten years and the tuner still sounds fine. I play it on average about two hours ... | |
