To those with multiple tables/arms/cartridges
Dear Nandric, I have to agree with Einstein who is in this case at least an "A" student. Putting a simple switch at the output of the tonearms will inevitably degrade the sound of both cartridges, because the signal voltage is so low in magnitude ...

Halcro, I can see you as part of a pit crew in a Grand Prix race, changing a tire in "less than 30 seconds".So far, I do the same; I plug and unplug, altho I do have two phono stages, one inside the Atma MP1 for LOMC (and also for LOMM, the Stanto... 
To those with multiple tables/arms/cartridges
OK, I am no Einstein, and neither of us is a Rockefeller. So is there some other model made by Einstein that supports two phono inputs without buying 2 or 4 cylinders? (Do you need four cylinders to do two tonearms in SE mode? Four cylinders could...

Nandric, I did not know that Einstein made a phono stage with more than one phono circuit inside. That's a bit more difficult to achieve with tubes than with solid state. (The DSA units are solid state.) I have never seen that particular model of ...

Last winter, I had a local entrepreneur visit my home. He is Douglas Hurlburt, founder and designer of DSA phono stages (models I and II). He brought both for a try-out in my system, even though I warned him in advance that I was unlikely to pay t...

So Nandric, Would say this Einstein is "no Einstein"?Today I went to Bill Thalmann's shop to see for myself that my new baby TT101 is indeed working nearly perfectly. In fact, I never saw my KAB strobe hold speed so solidly. The only remaining def... 
Rega Naiad - £30k ... sure, order me a couple
The low mass approach has definite theoretical benefits, but low mass coupled with a heavy platter is asking for trouble from Isaac Newton. "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction", which means that there will be a tendency for t... 
Denon DP6000 crackling noise: Need Help
Redglobe, Good point about the transistors. I am sure you realize their description as "noisy" has to do with electrical noise, not audible acoustic noise. I replaced all of those transistors in my DP80, or rather, Bill Thalmann did. Bill said som... 
Question on FR 66s
So Chris, As an owner of the FR66S, what do YOU think of JCarr's opinion? There is another guy who posts regularly on the Analog blog who also does not like the FR66S for the same reason.

Nandric, Finally I picked up my Beveridge amplifiers from Bill Thalmann the other day. Soon I will be able to report. I need some very long interconnects first. Bill had them for 8 months, so it is not all my fault that I have no listening results... 
intermitant phono tube cut out?
Tls49, The pin may be fracturing entirely outside the glass envelope, so as not to compromise the vacuum. The argument is pointless; the OP is the only one of us who can actually examine the pin. 
To those with multiple tables/arms/cartridges
Dear Nandric and Don (sounds like a 70s rock duo), I owe you guys an apology. Last night I saw that each of you did send an email to my little used gmail account. I rarely even look over there, because I do not give that address out, ever. In fact... 
Denon DP6000 crackling noise: Need Help
As I think I said on Vinyl Asylum, you should move your plan to replace the capacitors to the front burner. But it may also be a simple arc-ing from some high voltage node to ground due to worn insulation, etc. 
To those with multiple tables/arms/cartridges
I am not sure I got your email at all. I did have an email from Nikola in the last few months, and perhaps he can remind me if he asked me about selling my Denon DP80 in that exchange. Somehow I don't think that was the subject. But I have not cha... 
intermitant phono tube cut out?
It sounded like it was not merely bent but loose, such that maybe it is partially fractured. I did not mean to imply that a bent pin is per se a big problem.
