| Cartridge recommendation for ReVox tangential tracking turntable. I have the same TT! Excellent design! I can recommend Grado MI cartridges as a very good compatible choice! $100 - $500 price range (the $500 wood-bodied Sonata is particularly fine and competitive sonically with cartridges several times its price!). | |
| Please give me advice about an ARC VT 200 amp Never turn on a tube amp without a load (speaker or resistor) connected! Otherwise damage will result to the output transformer! | |
| Mogami wire quality? I used two 20 ft pieces of Mogami Blue Neglex 2477 (coax OFC copper) to my pair of KLH Nines. 1992 - 2015! Sounded excellent and never felt compelled to change! Cost was $1 a ft (1980)! | |

| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) How about a pair of Spread Spectrum Technology Ampzilla 2000's! The last and final design by the esteemed James Bongiorno! Better sound quality than ANY tube amp - and POWER to BURN! | |

| 70's Receiver and/or Integrated Amp recommendations How about that "little giant killer" - the venerable NAD 3020! Years ago I used two of them for the upper range in an active biamp system (one 3020 per channel using just one side of the amp). | |
| speakers with balls Here's a speaker that "rocks out": vintage JBL 166 Horizon! Everybody remembers the L100 Century. The L166 is the far better descendant - notably better highs thanks to its titanium dome tweeter! And the famous high-gauss extended range 12 inch wo... | |
| Suggestions for a cartridge/head for a JVC QL-Y5F Don't sell your JVC TT! It is a good sounding player! I recommend buying the latest production Grado MI cartridge - $100 to $200. That and a careful setup will give you much pleasure listening to LP's! | |
| Cd Player Choices To Match Up to Vintage Electronics How about the California Audio Lab DX-1 and the JVC XL - Z431! Both were favorably reviewed in TAS back in the 80's. I have these two in my collection of vintage CD players. To me they sound fine! | |

He can build you a pair in any finish you desire for a reasonable price! I will say this over and over again: these are AMAZING and R... | |
