| What quality are Empire 598 turntables? I've owned one of these and think it's a great "workhorse" turntable. Sure the new designs are better but this will work fine for casual listening. I'd use a Shure V-15 class of cartridge (my Grado almost wiggled itself out of the grooves). Good L... | |
| Hints on soldering IC's What I know about this is that, if you want to do it yourself, you should not try to solder with the iron plugged in. That is, heat the iron first, unplug it, then use residual heat to do the work. My understanding is that stray current fields wil... | |

| Are WE 300B Tubes Worth $600-$700 a set Consider that WE 300B's are rated for 40,000 (fourty thousand)hours! My ARC VT-100 requires retubing every 4000 or so (@ $750 installed with factory 6550's). Now what was your question? | |
| Preamp new/used under $900 I found an Audio Research LS-9 on this site and paid $825. This is a wonderful (solid state) unit I use with my VT-100. It has remote volume and function controls and a set of balanced "bypass" inputs and balanced outputs as well. Good stuff... |
