| Best cartridge to reduce hum under $400 USD The Grado cartridges are a moving iron design and have always been notorious for hum problems with turntables/tonearms that have less than ideal shielding of the motor. This has been well documented. I was a Grado dealer for many, many years and k... | |
| 5AR4/GZ34 Rectifier Tubes Iso...nice catch on your part also! Wig is indeed thinking of the Bad Boys since he was using VT231s which are a 6SN7 substitute. I can't believe I missed that. I actually have several pairs of Sylvania Bad Boys. Great tube btw... | |
| 5AR4/GZ34 Rectifier Tubes A little clarification. The "Bugle Boy" was a series of tubes that were made by Amperex. There was no company named Bugle Boy.http://vintagetubeservices.com/page9.html | |
| Cleaning Multiple records at once recipe... I find it very hard to believe that the labels don't get trashed? I've even seen this on RCMs if the user isn't careful with applying the fluid.Thanks anyway, but I'll stick with my VPI...BTW, did you get help from the Cascade Kitchen Counselor? :... | |
| new kiko sound quality I have it and find it to be pretty much excellent. Very good dynamics and just a little bit of surface noise, but overall well done.Here is Fremer's take on it:http://www.analogplanet.com/content/los-loboss-ikikoi-makes-its-180g-vinyl-debut | |
| 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. I l... | |
| 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. | |
| abbey road question Here's Fremer's take on Abbey Road:http://www.analogplanet.com/content/abbey-roadblockI have both the MOFI and the new 2012 reissue. I prefer the new reissue, but only by a small margin. The MOFI has better bass and high frequency, but the 2012 re... | |

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... |
