| Moving Classic 1 to Europe? Assuming you have the Classic 1 with the 120V synchronous motor, a VPI SDS power supply works with all voltages. The Classic 1 SE uses 24V DC ADS. | |
| What Would You Do with a Sealed, 1st Press Miles Davis "Kind of Blue"? 4th lacquer from 1st master tape according to discogs. | |
| LONDON Decca, Tzar DST and similar cartridges @howardalex Thank you. I had a Radford ST50 long time ago with MO KT88s. Sweet and powerful with 3D imaging. But the big caps dried out and I let it go. My modified EICOs stun me every day with their control, detail, color and lifelike sound on th... | |
| Tavish Vintage vs Bottlehead Eros I'd go with the Tavish. Good reviews and more easily resold if necessary, and you like the tubes. Isn't the Bottlehead a kit? | |

| can someone answer me this..... You should have listened to the first reply from @atmasphere ! Live and learn. | |
| Frustrated with Vinly @jay73 Since you asked earlier, the Spin Clean is very effective for the price. | |
| LONDON Decca, Tzar DST and similar cartridges @halcro Of course, I meant carbon fibre not graphite. I returned the Yamamoto CF headshell so I can’t experiment further. The bass was better delineated but the upper mids, highs and air were attenuated. That's a no-no for me. If I get a tax rebat... | |
