| Rockford Fosgate Signature Phono preamp The Fosgate does not have left and right channel tubes. Each of the 6 audio tubes does both channels. That’s what makes tube-rolling on the Fosgate so easy. (Requires just balanced, not matched, tubes) So if it’s a tube problem, you’ll have to rep... | |
| Recommendations for a tonearm upgrade on a VPI Classic 4 turntable You have a very good arm; I have the same and I'd be interested to know what it is that you do not like. But can't argue with you if you have the money to spend. IIWY though I might look at the Kuzma, a design that has proven itself over the yea... | |

Here is my $.02 in no particular order.I wouldn't buy a moving magnate cartridge without a replaceable stylus. There ar... | |
