| Should I keep my Well tempered tonearm? I've had my original WTT & arm since they first came out. For you WTT owners, when you replace your belt next time, try the custom belt from www.Originlive.com. Got mine a few months ago and it was quite an ear opener. | |

| mapleshade ic's... Try to find a used pair of Nexus cables. They were really expensive when new, but I picked up my last meter pair for $300.00. I use them between the turntable and phono, and from the phono to the preamp. | |

| Well Tempered V's VPI Super Scout Master Sign I've had my Well Tempered Original TT (not the Classic) since they first came out. In fact, the arm is one of the very first produced by Bill Firebaugh. I've never had one of the monofilament lines break. I have modified the arm somewhat. I have t... | |
