| Frankensteins or Audio Note Kit 300b Get the Franks. Make sure you get the latest versions. They will hold their value and will resell easily. | |
| Croft, NFD or Lavardin for Harbeth M40.1 I have used Croft kit for years. I would get the 25R and save the money over the RS for a set of NOS Telefunkens which wikl beat a stock RS. The Croft has a great phono stage. I have not heard the 7 mono blocks but they have received rave reviews. | |
| Help deciding which TT It is acoustic feedback from the sub into the turntable body...bearing...platter...stylus. Put a slab of granite under the TT on the wall shelf. | |
| Which cartridge in a Nottingham Analogue? This might be useful.http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/tested-affordable-turntables-from-music-hall-pro-ject-rega-nottingham/ | |
| Graham Engineering Phantom III 9 I bet they don't drop the titanium ones. ;-) | |
| Graham Engineering Phantom III 9 Huh? Who drops their tonearm wand on the floor? That is nuts! | |
| How well respected our EAR products TVA1. I wish I could drop it on Paravicini's head. All 90+ pounds of it. | |
| Tube upgrade options for Dodge 8 preamplifier? To answer your question about the RCA tubes. Obviously, there are many variations. I have found them okay but flawed. They seem a little constricted. If they were a wine, they'd be Malbec. | |

| Looking for pre with 2 volume controls. I've used Croft Acoustics preamps since 1987 with the two volume knobs. I guess the logic is a cleaner signal path by giving up the balance pot.I have no problem using them. | |
| Mid life crisis yields open check from the wife. Sources are weak points. Buy more music. | |
| Audio Research PH6 Phono Stage - How is it? One thing to keep in mind is ease of tube rolling. Very often, changing out generic new tubes with high quality old tubes can lift the performance of an amp and even change the way the amp sounds. | |
| Townshend Rock, or Sota... Classical music I would imagine it is aligned by design while mounted in the Rock. It is a little odd for sure. | |
| ortofon 2m bronze vs rega Exact 2 cartridge You might consider changing the Kimber cable to some PCOCC solid core. You will notice a purer sound, better focus and less "noise". | |
| ortofon 2m bronze vs rega Exact 2 cartridge Fly in the ointment here. I prefer the Bronze over the Black. It sounds more alive while the Black sounds more closed in and darker. Both were new so maybe the Black need to open up. I would go with the Bronze, tweak the VTA and see how it goes. |
