| RCA Phono Interconnect Under $400 Thanks for the info. A lot has changed since I last bought cables, and I haven't kept up with new trends. I'll check out your suggestions. | |
| SOTA STAR Sapphire Turntable Care and Feeding Thanks for the tip on belt care. I don't have a smart phone, so the app is out. Would electronic contact cleaner be a better choice than brake parts cleaner for the platter rim? Brake cleaner stuff is pretty pernicious stuff, and electric conta... | |
| SOTA STAR Sapphire Turntable Care and Feeding Any upgrades to the turntable will be far in the future. I still have to upgrade my amp and speakers. | |
| SOTA STAR Sapphire Turntable Care and Feeding I got on the phone with SOTA to talk about refurbished turntables. Had a few nice conversations with Christan and we talked about my stereo upgrade plan, the room and my listening habits and tastes. Turns out they have one rosewood Sapphire III ... | |
| Most recent speaker you audited in room and returned? Why did you return it? Zu Union 6. | |
| SOTA STAR Sapphire Turntable Care and Feeding I've been thinking along the same lines. More cost, equipment and fuss for a benefit I may likely not hear. Pretty cool idea, though. | |
| SOTA STAR Sapphire Turntable Care and Feeding Thanks for the info. Good to know you have the option of getting an elderly vacuum model and able to get the vacuum refurbished in the future. | |

| Jolida JD-9 Upgrade Thanks for the advice. The tubes get replaced regularly. I'll look into the caps and opamps. | |
| Jolida JD-9 Upgrade Thanks for the info. I visited the Audiokarma page and found plenty of info on upgrading the unit, but unable to find anything on doing it a second time due to age. I'm reluctant to contact PCX since they are in the business of selling parts and... | |
| SOTA STAR Sapphire Turntable Care and Feeding There's always a sunset on these things. Not to mention a good dose of Christmas spirit while putting up the tree. | |
| SOTA STAR Sapphire Turntable Care and Feeding The tragedy is I already had approval from the CPO (Chief Procurement Officer). | |
| SOTA STAR Sapphire Turntable Care and Feeding Turns out timing really is everything. While I've been getting more info on the turntable, it has been sold. At least now I'm properly informed if another one becomes available. | |
| SOTA STAR Sapphire Turntable Care and Feeding Thanks for the continued input. Since my stereo is in a small room, how far can the vacuum unit be from the turntable? Space is a premium and if I can put the workings on another room it would save me some space. | |
| SOTA STAR Sapphire Turntable Care and Feeding Thanks for the info. It comes with a Grado XTZ cartridge and a clamp. Does the pump run during the entire play time? How loud is it? I have spousal approval, but don't want to leap before I know what I'm getting into. |
