| Running an External Phono with a Hovland HP-100 My thoughts are a direct opposite of everyone else. I had the HP 100 with mc phono and I wasnt impressed at all. The linestage was ok, but the phono was pretty sad imho. At the time, I had a few phonos lying around. The Haggerman Trumpet, Manley S... | |

| Dynavector XV1-S and step-up Hatari, I recommend to you the Bent Audio Mu to use with what I hear is a wonderful phono in your Shindo. It is without a doubt the finest step up in my experience. This includes the copper version. I feel the cooper version is better than anythin... | |

| Phono Pre with regular Line Input Ainfek,No.. noise was not an issue. The Manley is dead quiet on my 107 db efficient system. The Bent Silver Mu simply out performs the Auto formers and extra gain stages in the Manley. Dont get me wrong, the Manleys nickel core auto former is ve... | |
| Phono Pre with regular Line Input I have not tried to use the Manley Stealhead as a preamp. But I will say that it is absolutely one of the finest phono stages in the world. I have owned most of them and the manley was the best in my system by a considerable margin. Here is a list... | |
| Best tonearm for AirTight PC-1 I have owned two PC-1s and the first I only had a medium mass arm and I was not a fan of the sound. The second PC-1 I had a much heavier, higher mass, lower compliance arm and the sound was much better. The PC-1 is like a little brick or billet. I... | |
| Stylus just falls off? Wow! "Get over it" is pretty harsh dont you think? I have owned a 100 cartridges, never has a stylus just fallen off. I think you should email AJ or Harry of VDH and tell them your sending your cartridge back because they didnt use enough glue whe... | |
| Stylus just falls off? The reason I replied is because you paid for a service and they are responsible. Im sorry, but again the table was being taken apart and moved. Again, I can see removing the platter for transport, but why remove the arm with the cart still attache... | |
| Stylus just falls off? Are we talking Stylus or Cantilever? I have a hard time believing as you were preparing the table for transportation one of you looked over at the arm and cart, and noticed the stylus missing. Its difficult to glance at a cartridge and see the sty... | |

| Choice of Koetsu cartridges? I have much experience with many carts...If someone told me I had to buy a current Koetsu, I would try one of the platinum Koetsu's. I have not tried them. I have tried the Urushi series, I did not like them. I have a koetsu rosewood sig and it is... | |
| Enough detail or too much? the room is the most important part of a stereo. Its just to hard to make a breath taking believable presentation in a inadequate room. I see all these high dollar stereos in a compromised room. I just dont understand, its a waste of money. I have... | |
| Enough detail or too much? I have some thoughts in reference to scale. I have had luck getting proper scale, including orchestras. Believe it or not, it can be achieved in near field as well as normal set up. Speakers must be panned properly. You must have the speakers far ... |
