| Question about EAT Turntable B Sharp is a pared down C Major. Isn't the headshell fixed on these arms? | |
| 45 tubes for Yamamoto A-08s Congrats on a beautiful amp. 6moons has a good write-up on the Yamamoto. The consensus is that the EML tubes push an already pretty hot amp into the lit up category. | |
