| Whats on your turntable tonight? @tomic601 I haven't heard those. Why can't you get one of these? | |
| Turntable Mats: Rubber, Felt or Cork. Just to clarify, I use the bare platter most of the time. Sometimes a recording is just too much. That’s when I throw on the MyMat to take the edge off without losing the essence. Being thin, there’s no need to adjust VTA.Disclaimer: Steve sent me... | |

| Soundstage Confusion Awesome. At least you didn't send a cartridge to another continent for a repair when nothing was wrong with it like yours truly. | |
| Dedicated 20 amp line I ran an 8 gauge cable direct from a 20amp breaker to a L5/20 and yes, it's a solid improvement. |
