| UPGRADE FROM VPI SCOUTMASTER The George Merrill REAL at around $8500 sounded very good, and was in use by a number of exhibitors, at AXPONA. Not sure how many versions there are! | |
| Noise from phono. Help please. Remove the tube preamp covers and hover your hand close to the tubes. You may be able to inject noise into the amplifier this way if something is not right. See if you can home in on a sensitive tube and change it out for a known quiet tube. | |
| Old tubes vs New tubes Chicago Standard Transformer Company.#32004. I don't honestly know how they compare to modern Lundahl, Tango or Hashimoto iron, but they give bags of detail. | |

| Old tubes vs New tubes I saw the ETA and maybe it's good. The GEC are magic. Not my fault if market forces drive their prices into the clouds.Some great new tubes. Psvane 6SN7 Globe is excellent once burned in. Shuguang 12AX7LS black are better than OS Telefunkens, and ... | |

| Turntable Mat question Tried the Boston mat and it killed the sound. Yes, it made things quieter and more controlled but it robbed the music of soul. Almost like going from a great original analog pressing to a remastered CD. | |

| Radikal Linn LP12 or Palmer 2.5? @latenightcityCheck my Virtual Systems to see my Garrard tables. I guarantee if you heard them play, you would be floored. | |

| Turntable Mat question Well, wouldn’t you know it? I took off the 10" record mat and played Basie Jam #2 again directly on the CTC oversize aluminum platter on my 401. Heck, better. Tighter bass, faster 3D cymbals, more color and emotion. I didn’t even bother adjusting ... | |
