| Tone of Shindo On a less expensive thought, you should listen to Leben.Shindo is system based, and generally Shindo preamps and amps match best together than trying to pair with other brands. | |
| Dagostino hd momentum, is lack of rubes a problem? I think you should probably buy something from VAC, unless you think it is too expensive. They make great tube gear. | |
| Paying for equip? Ach wires or check or cc? If you don’t like the program shop elsewhere.If you like complaining in general, you are doing a great job! | |
| VAC preamps - too expensive? You should buy something else instead of whining.If that is not apparent to you it is to me. | |

| Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire? @tzh21y "Does this basic speaker wire sound better than cables many times the price?"Not in my system, but apparently in your system.I do find speaker cables make less difference than interconnects or power cables. | |

| Complimentary 2nd Cartridge/Tonearm for Dr. Feickert Blackbird You could also consider a Koetsu cartridge. Not sure of the effective mass of the Schick. The one below might be higher mass, or you could look for a used Fidelity Research/Ikedahttps://audio-creativeshop.nl/product/groovemaster-ii-tonearm/ | |
| Best preamp with built in phono stage? I have not heard the Atma-Sphere, but currently using a Luxman CL-38.It replaced Aesthetix Rhea/Calypso. I also wanted to reduce the number and size of boxes on my rack.VAC makes some nice preamps with built in Phono too.Might not be what you want... | |

| Woodsong Garrard 301, Artisan Fidelity 301, Shindo 301, SME 301, or etc.? I use a Helox clamp from Acoustical Systems which is very light, in conjunction with a Shindo platter/bearing/mat system. The Shindo is heavier than the stock Garrard platter, but I didn't weigh it so not sure how much heavier. The Shindo componen... | |

| Ohm speakers They have a home trial/satisfaction guarantee. Other direct to customer speaker makers do this also. In theory you get a better value, but it takes more work on your part. So order a pair and hear them in your home.https://ohmspeaker.com/support/#... | |
