Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again
@ lewm"In support of what Chak says about expedited shipping, I have purchased various capacitors from Russian vendors on eBay. The shipping time is very short, sometimes as little as 4-5 days. Much faster than buying from Canada, most of the time...

Virtually every 100k dollar table is BELT. Technics is not EVEN close to same league as VPI or REGA. Unless YOU ARE A DISC JOCKEY. But your missing the real savings in buying one of those mid fi Technics DD tables.You won't have anymore need for a...
