| Cartridge, Compliance, try what in my JVC UA-7082 Arm? From your collection: Audio Technica AT440ML. | |
| TT, 12" Tonearm. Who tried and ended up preferring 12" arm? @elliottnewcombjr Anti skating is a bigger deal with short arms. There is a general consensus that 12"+ arms do not require it. | |
| 6SN7 variants circa 2019 - tone, longevity, reliability, value @markusthenaimnut GE, RCA, Sylvania. Bad Boy. | |
| 6SN7 variants circa 2019 - tone, longevity, reliability, value I'm using the GF Globes. Detailed and transparent. Bright at first. Takes about 20-50 hours to burn in. Silent. Running fine after 18 months. | |
| TT, 12" Tonearm. Who tried and ended up preferring 12" arm? P.S. Stay with the Jelco magnesium headshell. You won't need anti-skating on the 12" although YMMV. You'll need phono cables. The Jelco 501 is perfectly good. Don't be tempted to replace it. | |
| TT, 12" Tonearm. Who tried and ended up preferring 12" arm? @elliotbnewcombjr I run 12" and 9" Jelco 850 on the same table. (I’ve also got two 12" 750s.) The 12" is better.

| Bang for the Buck Hmmm vintage tubes and ESLs? Lenco L75 or Garrard 401. | |
| Decca cartridge balance output question As the grounds are shared at the cartridge end, I don't believe it would work as intended. | |
| Any Thoughts Or Experience With The NAD PP 4 Phono Pre-amp? It is a reasonably acceptable phono preamp. It’s main claim to fame is that it also digitizes the signal so you can send your vinyl to a computer. Do you need that? If not, why use a device where most of the manufacturer’s expenditure went on bits... | |
| A Not So Funny Thing Happened On The Way to the Tonearm.... Good post. I could feel your angst. Well done. | |
| Woot! Decca cartridge bargain I sent it to John Wright in the UK for a check-up a few months ago. He said it was unused. So an almost NOS Garrott Export with a line contact stylus. Sweet. | |
| Installed bulk foil resistors in phono amp But how high can you go? You can’t keep increasing the value hoping for more and more rejection! Maybe the designer deemed 1k enough.The amp uses 2 diodes in series to bias the cathode. Can you suggest a better way to do this? I’ve seen NiCads and... | |
