| Buying used: how old is too old? Believe the major and obvious issue with very old speakers is surround break down. Many can be replaced.On not so old, usually there are some small or not so small cosmetic issues. There are also some brands which are not currently popular which c... | |
| If you have a rebuilt Garrard or Lenco you need this! There are four poles on the motor block. Change the 110v jumper connected to the two outer poles to the two inner poles for 220v.The pulley on the eddy brake needs to be replaced. | |
| How to isolate turntable from footstep shake or vibration I questioned the need for a SRA platform on my preamp and was assured by several that it was absolutely necessary. And when I asked if I also needed Stillpoints, I was definitively told that using them also would defeat the function of the platfor... | |

| Looking for an amp that punches way about its weight and I can grow with If you can wait a couple of months and flex your budget to $5100, get the new Atma-Sphere Class D mono blocks. | |
| Complete Proprietary Systems Never read anything in the industry about Mark Levenson’s current proprietary line, Daniel Hertz. Mark is a controversial figure in Audio but still an undisputed legend. His interesting and rather amazing multi page bio is on DanielHertz dot com. ... | |
| How to isolate turntable from footstep shake or vibration Great bargain in Audio-Silent Running Audio (SRA) VR platform.Think they are new $1500 built for your TT.When I installed mine, all of a sudden, my Garrard 301 was able to preform as designed.

| After 50 years, I have finally found my destination amps... AGD Audions! What parts are used specifically the GaNFET which is patented. As stated, like Nelson Pass and the SITs. Although I don’t believe Nelson has a patent on SITs. | |
