Upgrade from Pro ject DC Carbon to RPM1
Or maybe they consider the question answered!Don’t get too disheartened. Sometimes threads take a while to gain momentum. I would advise you to save a little more and look at investing in a table further up the ladder. You will be glad you did. Ke... 
What is as tube sounding as Conrad today?

Sideways move. How about a Pioneer PLX1000 and keep your cartridge? 
Using Maple Butcher Block Under a Turntable
@bpoletti Er... your turntable mat. You don’t have one, do ya? No Virtual System either. A few years ago, I had problems with heavy furniture under my 401. Warmth, blurring, sluggishness. I put 3 small granite block samples on the furniture top. T...

Anyone hear a Croft Integrated Amp?
@gochurchgo There is one for sale at the giveaway price of $650 here.

Anyone hear a Croft Integrated Amp?
@zek4u Good to hear. It really is a great preamp. 
Looking for opinions on components for a vintage tube system and 90's solid state
Check out my system. I run modified 1957 EICO HF35 monos. Old iron is like an aged violin.  
Amp for JBL 4311 monitors
