Reason for buying old/classic turntables
What I had in mind was to compare yesterday's average analog setup ( turntable, cartridge and tone-arm ) v.s something of the same caliber that is currently manufactured. Use of the same arm & cartridge for both tables would be inaccurate whe...

best preamp under 4000 to match 4b sst

How really good is Red Wine Audio?
My brother had some Red Wine stuff and was very disappointed in its reliability. After two service trips on a single unit, he sold it off. Turnaround took about ten weeks. It would have been helpful if you could state more precisely what gear are ...
