| New idler for Garrard 401 Thanks for the follow-up, Nick. Glad it worked out. @jperry report back when you fit and listen!The AudioSilente wheel has gone up fron $89 to $100. Artisan Fidelity also sell one for $365. It is reportedly better but I haven't heard it. Maybe for... | |
| Tonearm recommendation for Dynavector DV-20X cartridge. Google Jelco with On the fly VTA. | |
| Transcendent Grounded Grid vs Foreplay III The was a guy Greenvalve or something on youtube using one with LED mods. He knew his stuff and got suberb results. Not sure if he is still around but worth checking out. | |

My (now unused) 70watt KT88 tube amp drove my Spendors to deafening levels with serious bass. The Polks being 88dB at 8R should sound great with even a 30w integrated tube amp especially if... | |
