What Headshell? So, the AT-VM740ML has broken-in nicely and is creating some great music in my system. Was planning to go back through the setup again, just to verify everything is good. Got me thinking about first buying a new/different headshel...

Recommended Pre-Amps under 1k?
The Parasound P5 was a very popular "budget" pre-amp, full of features that many/most pre-amps do not offer, especially at the price. If you are looking for a lot of features, like DAC, bass management, phono pre-amp, balance control, etc., it mig...

Holy Cow! That Danny Gatton record is GREAT! Don't necessarily love a couple of the early vocal tracks. They're not bad, and sound great, but they're kind of like 50's/early 60's style. However! Everything else on the record is absolutely smokin'!...
