| Best cartridge to reduce hum under $400 USD I agree with the Denon DL110. The Audio Technica AT150MLX is also an excellent choice. | |
| HE Eliptical If it was me, I'd spend the extra $50 without hesitation. IMHO, well worth the little extra dollars involved. | |
| HE Eliptical How much extra is the HE over the standard? The TP16 arm is not the most adjustable, but you never know when you might upgrade. | |
| HE Eliptical Azimuth and VTA/SRA are very important with any of the stylus shapes that more closely match the groove cut, (i.e. Hyper Elliptical, Shibata, Micro Line, Line Contact, etc). | |
| HE Eliptical While I haven't had this service done, I do know a lot about various styli shapes.The HE, (hyper elliptical) will follow the cutting stylus closer to the actual cut than a standard elliptical stylus. You will need to be more careful on set up, but... | |
| Visa Tranaction Suspended for Unusual Activity I had this happen last year on Record Store Day. I hit several stores just hours apart and spent like $200-$300 in each store.I got a text message asking me to approve the transactions or call my credit card company. Pretty cool if you ask me.

| Jolida JD9: I think I over-bought. Alternatives? You could try the 5751 tubes. These are a 12AX7 equivalent and in most cases, have a 30% reduction of gain.Depending on the circuit, they can sound even better. | |

| Martn Logan ElectroMotion ESL stereo loudspeakers Martin Logan has always had a lower priced pair of ESL speakers. The original Aerius was $1995, the Aerius i was $2300, the Sequel was $2495, so not that unusual. I was a Martin Logan dealer for many years. One of my favorite brands of speakers ev... | |
| Vintage Cassettes: Direct Drive, 3 Heads: Sendust IMHO, I would take the HK CD491 any day over the NAD, IF the HK is working properly and in good shape.I was very fortunate in that when I closed one of my stores I took all of the blank tape we sold with me.I have cases of TDK, Maxell, Fuji, BASF,... | |
| Vintage Cassettes: Direct Drive, 3 Heads: Sendust Phase...the CD491 is an excellent cassette deck! I recently found a really nice CD391 and am loving it.I also was a HK dealer back in the day and the CD491 was as good as anything out at that time.Enjoy. | |
| Looking for schematics for Forte Audio model 5 amp I'd send it to Jon Soderberg. He is the master at Threshold/Forte gear repair. Really good guy also.http://www.vintageamprepair.net/ | |
| Need help balancing tonearm/ heavy cartridge If the arm still won't balance with the extra aux counterweight, about your only option is to find a lighter headshell, (or a lighter cartridge, but the 150ANV is a sweet cart).I looked at the KAB aux counterweight, (I'm assuming that is the one y... | |
| Record Grading... I agree. Find a few sellers that are honest and stay with them.I have bought quite a few audiophile LPs from Tubeo on E-Bay and they have been PERFECT! Also, some of the best packaging I've ever seen. Sellers like him, make record buying a pleasure. |
