| Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again Well, you don’t own it, so there is no controversy. I just said what I would do, because I am not an interior decorator. | |
| Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again First thing I’d do is remove the wood case. It impedes cooling. Tubes will last longer without it. Keep it for resale value. | |
| What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen. Maybe, but I hear a lot of emotion in the exchanges. | |

| Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again I can lighten up on my Valium.I don't think you have to worry a bit, if you miss out on this particular unit. There have been more than a dozen of them placed on sale, mostly on eBay, since March 10. Check "Hi-Fi Shark". | |
| Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig? Is this to fix your goofy foot? Sorry, could not resist, and I do hope the surgery you require has nothing to do with any life threatening situation. If the condition IS life threatening, you don't need our advice. You need to move forward.Your L... | |
| What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen. I have been reading contretemps such as these for years, on this Forum and also on Tweaker's Asylum.

| Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig? Like Mijostyn, I am wondering what procedure could be paid for by selling 200 LPs and your equipment. I also wonder why you’re asking us what to do. Do what you want and need. Good luck. | |
| Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again Elliott, You noticed I am sure that the Luxman asking price is nearly 4X what you paid for the Russian unit. You could buy a Marantz 7C, perhaps the king of vintage tube preamplifiers, for $3000 to $6000, too. But you would be paying for the coll... | |

| Record clamp/weight and turntable speed I wouldn't worry one second about the slightly off-center weight, but if the aftermarket mat is thicker than the original, and if you have set VTA while using the OEM mat, then the VTA will have been altered by a tiny amount. It's up to you to de... | |
