Need $1000 used tube preamp - Please help???
You might be able to find a Modwright SWL9.0SE for about that price. That would be my recommendation. The CJ or Cary would be my next choice(s). 
Sutherland PhD Phono Preamp owners - Settings for.
It will also depend on the preamp's/linestage's gain, but I would think the 45db should be more than enough. Most volume controls should be set between the 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock range for proper tracking and sound. If the 45db gain doesn't acco... 
Grungy sound with clean needle
Rshak...in my case the white paper that protects the wires and coils was actually touching the vinyl surface. Kinda easy to tell :-)It was fine just the album side before and wham, the suspension was shot. 
What's going on with Mobile Fidelity?
I just received notice that the Rickie Lee Jones LP has shipped. So they are catching up a bit...slowly. 
Grungy sound with clean needle
Has your suspension on the Denon S1 collapsed? I was in the middle of a listening session, (about 3 hours in) and all of a sudden the sound was horrible. Quicking checking everything, I had found that the suspension on my Lyra Delos had fallen. Th... 
What's going on with Mobile Fidelity?
With the big resurgence of vinyl and very limited pressing plants, projects have been pushed back.I agree that the wait has been longer than normal, but MOFI has always done this. The Pretenders album took well over a year to release and that is j... 
1st post- New 2 vinyl. Pro-Ject Debut III question
I just read the owner's manual and doesn't say anything about a built-in phono stage? It says to connect it to a "phono" input. Are you sure it has a built-in unit?

+1 on the CEC. 
Mary Chapin Carpenter and Shawn Colvin
I saw "3 Girls and Their Buddy" two or three years ago. It featured: Shawn Colvin, Emmylou Harris, Patty Griffin and Buddy Miller.It was fantastic. One of the best shows I've ever seen. Not sure if they are touring any longer, but if so, see them ... 
Counterpoint SA-5000 - phono stage question
When was the last time you replaced the tubes? Since you haven't used the phono side of the preamp for a while, it might need new tubes. The tubes are still powered up and have current running through them even though you aren't using that input. ... 
Happy Record Store Day
Swanny...I agree with everything you said, except the assumption that the guys in the front of the line were flipping the items on Ebay. You don't know that for a fact.While I don't approve of that either and really don't like Ebay that well, I wa... 
Need help selecting a preamp under $1500
I would add the Modwright SWL9.0SE to the list. 
Happy Record Store Day
I'm sorry but I'm going to speak my mind about the above negative comments. After rereading the posts several times it comes off as "sour grapes". If you had arrived earlier and were closer to the front of the line and got what you wanted, you'd b...

Anti static foam?
B_limo...I get the occasional little zap here and there, but I would never classify it as a "crazy amount". I was born in this part of the country and have lived here all my 53 years.Maybe I'm just immune to it :-)
