| ARC repair needed What does, "is going out" mean? They’re only worth around $700 or so and can be unreliable. Maybe the Mk2 is more reliable although your experience suggests not. | |
| McIntosh MT5 vs Rega 8 or 10 Spend on an equivalent Clearaudio (upon which the McIntosh is based). And use the savings to get a better separate phono amp and Nagaoka MP500.. | |
| Grounding a turntable and a tonearm Humidifier. | |
| Turntables Automatic mechanisms are costly and can degrade sound with their relative complexity. Recommend saving a little longer for the Pioneer PLX1000. | |
| Tubes for VTL ST-150 Gold Lion KT88 appears to be the consensus of owners. Upscale has 6550EH. | |
| Tubes for VTL ST-150 Yes. See this thread. | |
| Do Turntables sound better with time? Of course. Motor bearings and things relax and bed-in with time. The same way you can't use launch control in a Dodge Demon until you've done 500 miles. | |
| Audiphile Press: Am I jaded, experienced, or has it declined? Bertrand Russell. “The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.” ― Charles Bukowski | |
| Grounding a turntable and a tonearm Sounds like a plan. Do I wire the tone arm into the ground on the turntable, and then run a wire to the phono stage | |
| EICO Tube Amp HF 14...Transformer question The circuit diagram says 2 amp fuse. Are you sure the liquid is coming from a transformer? It's more likely a leaking capacitor. You need to power up old units slowly with a variac. Best to connect speakers when powered up. Any photos? | |
| Does the length of the Cable matter? @erik_squires Technics 1500 with built-in pre so it’s fine. | |

| Over or under? - Standmount isolation Springs under speaker on stands. Floor-mounted speakers can accommodate the lower isolation device. Expect better 3D music. |
