Any Discwasher D4 users out there?
I guess some just don't read posts in here. DO YOU use your VPI RCM before EVERY PLAY? I'm not going to either! I've got three original NOS Discwasher brushes. To my knowledge; no one else has improved on their system of slightly wetting the recor...

I've got a VPI RCM, THANK YOU! I still like to clean my records, before I play them(IF that's alright with YOU). 
Volume Pot Upgraqde
I've got a 50k Ohm stereo Noble(AP25), that I'm not using. Can a 1 1/8" H X 1 1/8" W X 1 1/4" D pot fit your application? FREE, to a good home. 
Can magnet placed beside cartridge damage a coil?
Sounds like a good dealer(to avoid)! 
Can magnet placed beside cartridge damage a coil?
1.3 and .8 what? Was he measuring resistance(Ohms) or output(mV)? If resistance; he's fulla shiite. A strong magnet can have an effect on a another(ie: demagnetize), but will do nothing lasting to a coil. 
Dynaco MK III Monobloc
Their transformers(the foundation of a tube amp) are very good. The sound can vary from tubey/euphonic, to very clean and extended, depending on the owner's choice of tubes, caps, resistors and wiring. Left stock; you'll have the first presentation.

Heroes are a nice interconnect. They were the first Kimbers that I tried. The farther up the Kimber line you progress; the more of everything good you will hear from your source. I'm using KS-1030's and a Synergistic Tricon Analog(KS-1130's on my ...

The Shelter has .5mV of output, which may be enough, depending on your need for volume, the efficiency of your speakers, room size, and the levels at which your vinyls are recorded(which vary widely). note: One of the noticeable benefits of the me... 
Phono stage help
Largely; the answer(re: the GFP) would depend on the output of your cartridge. There is only so much gain available(60/66dB), with the GCPH. If you are using a very low output moving coil; there may not be enough voltage, at the GCPH's output, to ...

The GCPH's power supply already has fairly fast recovery diodes, from the factory. It responds very well, to the addition of HI-FI Tuning's Supreme fuse and an upgraded PC. I've always recommended the Zu Mother, but- they have been discontinued, a...

Spendor SP100 mid/bass rubber surround
Talk to Bill, at Millersound: (http://www.millersound.net/service.htm) I used to own a shoppe myself, and did reconing/speaker system repair, as a facet. Trust me when I say, this guy knows his business. He'll sell you whatever parts you need, as ... 
Cartridge Recommendations
With what you save through a retip(If you haven't already): Replace the GCPH's stock fuse, with a HI-FI Tuning Supreme and upgrade the power cord to something with conductors of 10 to 8AWG(preferably silver and NO PVC or vinyl dielectric). You wil... 
Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please

Do tubes have a break in period?
Though the internals of the 300B tube are larger than those of a lot of other tubes; the same components(cathodes/anodes/grids) & dynamics are present in all: (http://www.stereophile.com/content/search-perfect-300b-tube-page-3) (http://www.ste...
