| Cartridge for Technics SL-1200G or SL-1200GR sleepwalkder65It might just need a little TLC (clean/lube the spindle, rewire the tonearm with litz tonearm wire, treat it to a new mid/high compliance cartridge, new interconnects and maybe the KAB fluid damper). I had it serviced about two ye... | |

| Just wanted to introduce myself. I've had a Teac X-10R since about 1982. With it, I use a dbx 224 to remove tape hiss and dbx 3bx range expander. Back in the day, I'd spend hours and sometimes days mixing a 10" reel, or simply recording some of my favorite albums. I don't have... | |

| Leaving Solid State Equipment on all the Time I agree that heat is the enemy of electronic equipment. I also think that if kept cool, you can run your equipment 7/24 with no issues. Computers are a good example of that. My desktop computer is liquid cooled, runs 7x24, and I've never had a ... | |
| Leaving Solid State Equipment on all the Time I must say, my music does sound much better when I leave the equipment on. My NAD M12 pre/dac and M22 v2 power amp have a standby mode, but the Zenith does not. First chance I get, I'm going to place the NADs in standby mode for a few hours and ... | |

| blue jeans cable? First I made my own bi-wire cables :-). Bought a pair of their Canare cables and the sound improvement was rather dramatic. The build quality is outstanding IMHO, and the price was definitely right. | |
| Leaving Solid State Equipment on all the Time Zenith setup is very user friendly. Instead of Roon, I use LMS because I have several Squeezebox Duets, Raspberry PI Squeezelight players, and AirPlay speakers making up my whole house music system. I have the 2 TB model and have started ripping... |
