| Looking for a London (DECCA) Reference phono cartridge Here's an ad that just showed up - London (Decca) Reference Just back from John Wright For Sale - US Audio Mart Good luck. | |

| Parts for Dynavector 501 Tonearm That's what I call customer service. My dealings with Mike have always been excellent. | |

| Phono Stage Upgrade Your table/arm and cartridge deserve a higher caliber phonostage. You want the ARC Ref 3SE, not the Ph9. The ARC Ref 3SE will be a significant upgrade. As you pursue further refinement, a silver SUT like the EMIA will bring out additional detai... | |
| Temporary Down Sizing - Integrated Amp Recommendations Great current solid-state system. If I were you, I'd look into tubes - a nice SET amp and delve into the world of tubes - find out what all the hoopla is about. At some point in this journey, I'll be doing just that. | |
| Balance control? Some cartridges are just built like that. I had a Dynavector XV-1S that had an imbalance - not much I could do except adjust azimuth by twisting the headshell. I hated doing that so I got rid of the cart. If it is the cart (your other carts do no... | |
| Dr. Feickert Turntable Excellent. Let us know how things turn out. What tools(s) are you using for setup? I'd recommend the AS SmaTractor - it's the best in my experience, | |
| Reverb, what a joke Seems like Reverb wants to sell stuff, make money and at the same time wants "zero" responsibility. I'd send the arm back and ask for a full refund. You have enough evidence imo to point out Reverb's lack of attention to this matter and ask for a... | |
| What is the best tonearm for a SOTA Nova turntable? I would say go the ARC Ref 3. It's an end game phonostage - upgradeable to the SE if desired. I went through a few phonostages before getting to the Ref 2SE. It adds a tubey flavor to my ss amp, in my pursuit, I've found that the best sound is w... | |
| Vinyl record grading You have to clean it with an ultrasonic record cleaner - that might take away some of the ticks/pops. From my experience, it has to do with how the records were stored. If the records were stored in a ~ dust free environment, the chances of them... | |
| Mounting Kuzma 4point 14 tonearm on Yamaha GT 2000 turntable I would get a new turntable. | |
| Analog Upgrade itch ^ It's the pursuit for perfection. | |
| Mounting Kuzma 4point 14 tonearm on Yamaha GT 2000 turntable I had an Artisan Fidelity Technics SP10 Mk2 that had a modified Kuzma 4P base - it was smaller and likely for similar reasons. You can contact AF or someone like Thom at Galibier Designs that can help you with a smaller base. You can then weigh ... | |
| Analog Upgrade itch @eddiechanghk I would never buy a Linn turntable - it's outdated. It may have been a great table when it came out, but it's no match for a Kuzma. The 4P (11) tonearm is one of the better arms on the market - that by itself should make the Kuzma t... |
