| Phonostage Recommendations for my PS Audio + Thiel setup I have not heard the new PS Audio phono stage but it is making big claims.

| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Elliot Lawrence Band – Plays Gerry Mulligan Arrangements (1956 Fantasy mono)@uberwaltz I dug out Uriah Heep Live (1973 Bronze). Haven’t played them in years. Gypsy and July Morning live are great. | |
| Technics 1200G VTA Lock or unlock is the question? There's an interesting article in the current Stereophile by Art Dudley about tightening things and deformation of structures etc. Of course, overtightening has always been anathema with mechanical reproduction systems. | |
| Need help finding a new phono stage. As long as it is driving the speakers to your satisfaction, there is no issue with turning it up so high. Remember, in most cases, a volume control reduces the volume by offering progressive resistance to the signal such that full volume is the ac... | |
