| Whats the best MC cartridge for my new VPI SCOUT? Hi, Well, if it was 8 years ago, I'd probably recommend the Benz Glider Cartridge, but since then, there are many good cartridges around this same price level that will compete with the Glider, and most likely, many here will tell you will exceed ... | |
| Most PRACTICAL, yet good sounding REEL to REEL ??? Tandberg not only made nice reel Machines, but made some really killer sounding units, with many very unique features, and were also very beautiful looking units, but I can also remember back, that many were reknown to be problematic, and very fin... | |

| Questions about original Cal Alpha DAC Hi, I also notice a seemingly hotter output of the Alpha versus the Sigma II, and I understand through a bit of Alpha research, that there was the ability to swap out a resistor inside, thus adjusting the output.(Some have stated that the Alpha di... | |
| RB 300 VTA Tracking Goto the analog for sale section of this site, and you'll see that Pete Riggle makes what you need for the RB 300. Other arms out there too, never had provision for VTA from the factory, but it appears Pete has come up with his VTAF to fit many. Mark | |
| Seeking hot running amps A Pair of Mark Levinson #33's should fit the bill quite nicely! Lots, and lots of cooling fins-heatsinks on these puppies, plus they're just about the size of large radiators, so when your freinds come over, they will comment "Hey your Radiators e... | |

| Pre-amp suggestions for MC 402 amp Others, would maybe the the Mac C-45, or C-46. mark | |
| Quest For Phono Preamp Checking the specs on the PS Audio Unit, I see that it is a dual mono balanced from input to output Stage, with dual mono power supplies, and it does also indeed have balanced output to feed to a pre-amp, or directly to an amplifier. I almost boug... | |

| Springs for homemade isolation stand To funny Stehno! When I was a kid, I ran around the house with a tampon, and a cigarette lighter, threatening everyone in the house that I was going to blow the place up! lol All the women were blushing, and my uncle just about fell on the floor, ... | |
| Springs for homemade isolation stand As I've learned-garnered information from others who are certainly more wise, and experienced than I am, the consensus seems to be that any type of tweak platform-material placed between the Turntable, and Rack-Stand will make a difference audibly... | |
| Adding damping fluid to Audioquest PT arms ???? Hi Wayne, I had figured it had to use some sort of clamping with screw because of its teardrop shape, and couldn't see how it could rotate on the CW Shaft due to this oblong design.I'll bet it is a bugger getting the correct VTF. Hopefully my meag... | |
| Springs for homemade isolation stand Hmm, sounds like a very tough engineering problem to me. I wonder though why would you need to go to such lengths of isolation? Are you playing music at earth shattering levels that require such drastic measures? or am I missing something with you... | |
