| Record Stores NYC Take the subway to Union Station - it's walking distance to Academy. | |
| Was I Expecting Too Much Another thought - for $16k +/-, I'd look into the Stabi R and Kuzma 4P - there are good Kuzma dealers in the greater Los Angeles area where you might be able to audition the table/arm. At that price point, the tables are pretty comparable. | |
| Was I Expecting Too Much ^ Nonsense. It's opinions like @russ69's that degrade the value of customer service. I don't think it's too much to ask for a demo - some dealers just don't want the headache of setting things up. The same dealer had a pair of trade-in speakers ... | |
| Admitting my error… Records are the bomb. Buy what you can afford and buy new - that's the best way to start a collection. Used records on Ebay/Discogs are mostly disappointing. Used record stores are also inflated in price, but I enjoy frequenting them on weekends ... | |
| Sold a component and bought it back, am I nuts? You are what we would call a "Rocket Scientist" in the audiophile world. | |

| Looking for Tonearm Advice/Suggestions The Kuzma 4P (9 or 11) costs more, but definitely worth considering. Both are end game tonearms and will work well with your table and Lyra cartridge. | |

| Need some help with Analog,Just Learning The Sumiko Low MC cartridge has an output of 0.5 mV - that should be more than adequate for the Allnic 1202 which has a max MC gain of 72 dB. Some good info in article below - https://www.audiophilia.com/reviews/2018/11/28/allnic-audio-h-1202-ph... | |

| Retip lyra delos and upgrade Sending back to Lyra is an expensive option, but you will end up with a Delos. Retipping with Joseph will cost $600-$700, but you will have a different cartridge. I have had more expensive cartridges retipped by VAS and to me it did not make a d... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 or Pass Labs Int-250 to Sonus faber Amati Tradition I almost bought the Pass Labs Int 250 but ended up getting the Gryphon Diablo 300 instead. The Diablo 300 IMO is a much better integrated amp. | |
| Requesting upgrade advice If you listen to vinyl 100% of the time, you might want to consider upgrading the phonostage. The ARC Reference Series phonostages have balanced (XLR) output which makes a significant difference. | |
| Putting a new end on a XLR cable This is what's wrong with this hobby/industry. Do you really think it will take TARA Labs $500 to diagnose/fix this issue? I think not, but even so, it's likely an isolated request/incident. TARA Labs should fix it for free - that's the way they... |
