| Low hum from amp If not the speakers, probably just transformer hum caused by dirty power or poor mounting of the part. Try another outlet. | |
| Best Tonearm and Cartridge for 4K or under for restored Garrard 301 I second @fsonicsmith comment about refurbishment. A full strip down and rebuild is the way to go. check out Matt Taylor of AudioGrail. On the slate vs wood... while I have 401s not 301s, my experience may be helpful. I found the slate to have a l... | |
| Best Tonearm and Cartridge for 4K or under for restored Garrard 301 @kanchi647 I have two Jim Campbell plinths. Slate and birch-ply. Both AudioGrail 401 tables. One early twin spark, the other later. Look at my system in my profile. Go with 12" tonearms. Make sure you replace the idler with an AudioSilente one and... | |

| Mundorf M-Tube in Tube Amplifier Power Supply I use CC TC600 in phono preamp power supply. I agree with everything you say. The odd thing was the plastic coloration seemed to disappear after about 25 hours. Nice system by the way. Sounds great. | |
| Jelco SA-750D cartridges @minkwelder George Merrill has the best price on Jelco. Make sure you use the JAC501 (red) phono cable not the cheaper one. Search for my post on the 850. Read full thread. | |
| Jelco SA-750D cartridges @minkwelder I've two 750 arms and a 850S and 850L on two different tables. The 850 is in the next echelon. I think you should replace it first. Then explore cartridges. It's a direct swap. | |
| Jelco SA-750D cartridges A $400 cartridge in a Jelco 850 will sound better than a $1000+ cartridge in a 750. | |
| Acoustic Design Works Dunno. But you could start with a box of these | |

| Fav Tube/Best tube I’ve tried hundreds of tubes. The best 12AX7 is the Shuguang 12AX7LS black from Grant Fidelity at $149 a pair. 20 hour burn in needed. | |

| Fav Tube/Best tube CV5042 black plate Mullard which was holophonic/black/lucid/sweet/spacious. |
