| Cartridge advice @chakster I have 2 Garrott Bros Deccas and they are excellent. I also have a Super Gold with Paratrace tip from Expert Sylus fitted by J. Wright of London. | |

| Jelco VTA on the fly @trknomo Good to hear. The jury seems to be out on this. I wish there was a good review available. | |
| Cartridge advice Don't fret too much on stylus type. I've a Decca with an elliptical and it blows away my AT750 Shibata. The generator is important too. | |

| Replace panel or add subpanel? LOL. Replace the original board. Spend the money. You’ll get it back on resale. Then run one 8 or 10 gauge cable direct to your system quad 20amp outlets. 20amp breaker. No sub needed. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? First Aid Kit - The Big Black & The Blue (Wichita 2010)If you don't like this, you're dead to me. | |
| What does a tonearm contribute to the sound of a turntable? @simao look at the Jelco 850. Big upgrade. | |
