Lounge Audio
Well, a good poster on the Hoffman site who's a little closer to Robert of Lounge Audio was able to get a hold of him and just as I suspected, he was just overwhelmed with orders after the Stereophile review.  He was informed that he has one more ...

I was always happy with the sound of my Lounge gear and look forward to getting back soon.

@phildebrandt  Sorry to hear that Phil.  I wish you luck.

@curiousjim,   I agree Jim.  Some folks over at the Hoffman site where Robert of Lounge Audio is a member are concerned that maybe something is amiss in his personal life whether it be health or something else.  I hope that's not the case but I b...

I appreciate all the support I'm getting here not to mention the great audio advice I've gotten in the past.   A lot of times I don't post or start a thread because I can just do a search and find my answer without having to create a new thread. ...

@cey,  Thanks cey, I appreciate it.  I was getting the feeling I was in the wrong here especially over at the Hoffman Forum. When originally created the "How Long Is too Long" thread I was basically putting out feelers for others who have dealt ...

It appears that many (not all) on the Hoffman site think I'm being unreasonable and that I should show more patience and understanding.   I can't believe I'm having to defend myself.   I give up.   I may get my gear and maybe not.  I now have a...

I posted on the Steve Hoffman Forums where Robert Morin the owner of Lounge Audio is a valued member and have a bad feeling I’m about to take a beating there. Someone brought up the possibility that something may have happened to him. His last po...

@yogiboy, I started a thread entitled, "How long is too long" a few weeks ago.  I didn't mention the name of the company at first but members insisted.  I wanted to start a formal thread warning folks who own Lounge Audio gear and need repair/s ...

@atmasphere,  I borrowed a friend's Parasound JC3 Jr.  Already it made my analog rig with the Glider sound much better and it doesn't have a provision for 1K loading.  50- 550 or 47k for MC cartridges.  I'm using 47k at the moment and it sounds g...

@mulveling  I'll look into some of your suggestions.  I think I mentioned earlier that I had a Hagerman Piccolo that I built from a kit.   I liked it very much and wish I still had it.   I also took pride in the fact that I built it and could pu...

@atmasphere  Thanks for your response and patience.  I'm not as technically knowledgeable as someone as yourself but it's nice to soak up as much info as possible.  
Benz Micro Glider Loading
@atmasphere I don’t want to appear ignorant but I’m not sure how the info you provided helps me in deciding what phono pre I should look for other than listening of course which really isn't an option when buying used.   One with a 1k loading op... 
Benz Micro Glider Loading
@lewm, Thanks for your response. I now dropped the MoFi phono pre down to 900 ohms. I know not much of a difference but it’s a start. Next down (or is it referred to as up?) is 500 ohms. It would be nice to go with a phono pre with as many optio...

@mulveling,  I think I'll play with the loading again and reevaluate.  The MoFi has plenty of settings and maybe I'll find out that 1k isn't the optimum setting anymore for my ears.  Thanks for the response.
