Adcom GFP 750: why spend more?
I know I would inflame many members by saying this, but I'll do it anyway:I never heard Adcom, but I owned various preamps at different price points, and came to conclusion, that if you are on the path to find "miracle component" and " a giant kil... 
Good Time to be a metal fan with a turntable
Glory,Doesn't all the Metal music sound like that?I don't think it does. On occasion (which is becoming increasingly rare) I do listen to classic rock and some metal. My position on classics, like led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, etc. is ... 
Good Time to be a metal fan with a turntable
As a side note- I caught Motorhead live, opening for Dio.The worst live performance ever (Motorhead), by far.Outrageously loud, impossible to make-out any lyrics, or music for that matter. I had to leave after about 10 minutes. Came back for Dio- ... 
John Mellencamp "Life,Death,Love....."
What is "code version"?BTW, it doesn't look like DVD-A, just DVD. It doesn't have a menu like DVD-A, just tracks listing. What made you think it's DVD-A?

Best cartridge for modded Technics 1200
I have Shelter 501 MK II on mine (it's KAB modified table).If you were to use Sumiko headshell with Shelter, you'll discover, that the hight of Shelter is not enough to have proper VTA. I ended up using Isoplat mat on a top of Technics thick rubbe...

Hi,I used to have Dreadnaught II, and then switched to BAT 75 SE, and I'll venture a thought, that BAT is significantly better for music reproduction. Actually BAT makes MC amp VK- 6200, and coming from VK himself, " many people bought it strictly... 
If I like Dynaudio monitors, I would LOVE?????
I'll second the Silverline Audio- I have Bolero, that uses all Dynaudio drivers, including custom- made for themEsotar 330 tweeter.Also Bolero are much more efficient at 92 dB, and easier to drive-8 Ohm nominal impedance. Cabinetry is a very high ... 
Technics SL1200/1210 owners - which mat?

a tube amplifier repair technician
Mrjstark,I'm a little late to respond, but anyway:I'm an ex-Supratek (make it two) owner, and I agree with you on the treble.But, I think, I know a secret how to fix it.Supratek uses silver- plated copper wire, and I think that's the culprit. How ... 
Cartridge mount screws - stainless steel
Just an update- Mapleshade sells brass mounting screws in 2.5x16 mm size with nuts.I ordered two pairs, should be "under $5 per pair", I've been told.They also recommend Nanomount system, which you can see on the Mapleshade website, which should "...
