Best cost no object tube phono
Raul, audio is not a contest, nobody wins or looses and i have never claimed great knowledge, the absolute truths you are looking for are subjective qualities for most of us, we like something, or we don’t, sometimes measuring helps, but often you...

Raul when i "like" a post in WBF, it can mean i agree, it can also mean the poster has made a good argument even if i don’t agree , i also generally "like" any post from people responding directly to any previous post from me or anything made with...

Raul, the real magic in audio happens somewhere between listening and measuring, that is why so many audiophiles love tube phonos, for the engaging sound !

@rauliruegas You don't "distress" me, you irritate sometimes Raul. This is a thread about tube phono stages, and you have come here to provoke and promote your holy grail SS phonostage ! It is your usual modus operandi, you like to promote some id...

A broken record playing backwards ! At least he stays away from WBF when he can post on Audiogon. I'm surprised how much trolling he gets away with here, meanwhile this post will probably be removed. Go figure ! 
Who makes the best turntable belt?
I doubt the Origin Live belt is causing your variations, unless your splicings are crude. I would order a new belt that has the right size, they are not crazy expensive and work very well. I have used them for years now, and even with my current l...

Congratulations ! I hope you like the sound, after all that work, personally i know how satisfying it is when that damned thing is working again ! 
TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ?
After mixing different viscosity silicone oil, and comparing it to the oil Townshend sells as " Trough fuel" i think his oil is somewhere in the 50,000 CST range. 100,000 CST is much thicker than his oil, and 10,000 CST is much thiner. The Mapleno... 
TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ?
I read somewhere that the trough makes a inexpensive not so well made tonearm sound better than it should, i think Townshends own Excalibur tonearm was a modified Rega arm. I especially like the bass detail with a front trough, but getting the pad... 
Tango Step Up Transformers vs Bob's Sky Blue Cinemag
I had Bob make me a Sky 40 special order with input and output rca's on opposite side s to fit inside my TT. What a gentleman to deal with. The sound with the Benz TR cartridge i use on that arm, is dynamic with gobs of detail and wonderful bass i... 
TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ?
The one they call "trough fuel" i have been using, probably has a good viscosity for Townshend type trough ! I ordered larger bottles with viscosity 10,000,100,000 and 300 000 cst from a different vendor. A little experimentation will be interesting.

Here are some recommendations on viscosity for tonearm dampening, came upon this site when i was trying to find a supplier of Townshend "trough fuel" that i have been using for years.http://www.turntablebasics.com/silicone.html

His name is Ruben, his Audiogon name is serraniruben, try sending him a message, maybe he can help. But it's been 9 years !

Maybe, try searching the net, i bought my lasers of a Argentinien guy here on Audiogon  9 years ago, and one from a vendor on ebay, but i don’t see any for sale at this moment. My ebay purchase history does not go far enough back to be helpful, so...
