As mentioned above, try rolling your pre amps tubes... | |

| Bidding Frustration Mitch,Nice job clearing this up. I want to point out that the OP stated that Audiogon responded "a counter is good for 48 hours unless the seller pulls the listing"This does seem to contradict their rule "The Seller has committed to hold the item ... | |

"Be 100% focused or risk a possible disaster with you cartridge.Takes me about 30 minutes for initial set up. That's using the VPI protractor. Then maybe another hour to get it spot o... | |

| Tonearm with removable head-shell I'm not sure a turntable is a good idea for you. You really have to jump into the alignment process to get its full potential and enjoyment of vinyl. The alignment should actually be checked every so often as it can go out for many reasons. It's a... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall III with Bryston 4B SST2 / BP17 ? As a past owner of the Cornwall and the Khorn, I would also agree that your best bet is a lowish watt tube amp. IMHO, SS and high power are not a good match for these speakers. They will surely be on the bright side and you'll want to end you're l... | |
