| 220v / 110v - Anthem STR Power Amplifier I agree! Buy a proper size/watts AC step-up transformer on Amazon. You don't need to spend $500! | |
| Marantz model 8 Saul Marantz was still owner and running Marantz in 1962. Apparently he had a facility in California building components. I doubt there will be a difference in value compared to the Long Island, NY production. | |
| I'm new to Step Up Transformers I checked and the Paua is indeed a moving iron cartridge like all the others in the Soundsmith line. | |
| I'm new to Step Up Transformers Isn't the Soundsmith Paua a moving iron cartridge? That's the mechanism used by Grado and some others. No SUT required. | |

| Looking for a Replacement for AT VM740ML Cartridge You can also experiment with the capacitance loading by using a phono cable with more or less capacitance. Moving magnet cartridges are quite sensitive to this in their high frequencies. I would try adding more capacitance. What is the capacitance... | |
| Looking for a Replacement for AT VM740ML Cartridge Try lowering the back end of the cartridge. That will alter the high frequencies. Something I have done on Grado's. The VM740ML is an excellent mm cartridge! | |
| Linn LP12 turntable Back in 1978 you could buy a LP12 for $450 here in the USA. Even less in the UK! Ivor Tiefenbrunn was a clever marketeer and milked the hype about it during the onslaught of cheaper Jap direct drive turntables invading the UK. The LP12 is basicall... |
