| phono/preamp analog front end ARC Ref 2SE Phono gets my vote. You'll have to pay a little more, but worth it. There's one for $5500 at USAM - you could try and bring the price down a little. It has a gain of 74 dB and balanced output. | |

| How often to demagnetize mc cartridges? I was told by Dynavector that their cartridges do not need to be demagnetized. I have a ZYX that I have never demagnetized - sounds fine to me. | |

| What is the average dealer mark up? Perfectly legit question for this and other forums. | |
| To guard stylus or not? ZYX has the worst stylus guard - hard to get on and off. So don't use. Might use if it was designed properly. | |
| Lumin Player App Issues Put your finger or thumb on the album art cover and hold - a menu should pop up which lets you select the options I described above. | |
