| Setting up a 2 channel listening room Maybe get them to install 2 by 4 gang 20amp outlets instead of just the one. Also consider adding outlets where you might add monoblocs. | |
| Two turntable setup ideas to go with an SPU cart However I wouldn't get too hung up on the 12 versus 9 inch choice. | |
| Two turntable setup ideas to go with an SPU cart Sunnyboy, mostly on cost. The Jelco 750 is very capable for the money and on a good deck works very well. The Ortofon would push the price up a lot. Fjn04, That is why I recommended the Audio Grail version. You will have no technical issues with a... | |
| Audio Research pre-amps? Try replacing the Kimbers with 12 gauge house wiring cable. Strip out the black and white wires and gently twist them. Cheap experiment. | |

| Can audiohile be done on the porch Please consider that your neighbors may not want to hear your music. | |
| Help for my return to vinyl -- $2K rig. Second the Croft Phono. Just roll out the JJs. | |

| Help for my return to vinyl -- $2K rig. Second thoughts: buy a used 401, a 12" Jelco arm and an Ortofon Bronze and order a plinth from the guy on eBay. Figure 800 for the deck, 700 for the arm and cable, 400 for plinth and 500 (or starter AT95 for 100) for cartridge. A bit of reading on... | |
