| Thoughts on Audio Research D70 Here's an FYI. I own a D115MkII and called ARC about putting KT120's in the amp. They said don't do it as the heater in the KT120 draws alot more current than does the 6550s. He said that this will kill the power transfer over time. I would think ... | |

| How many LP's do you own? How long did it take? I bought my fist LP in the spring of 1974 when I was a freshman in high school.

| Lyra Skala installation Another item to add to your laundry list is an arc or a Feickert protractor to ensure that overhang is accurately set. The Feickert will also measure pivot to spindle distance. If these two items are not accurately adjusted, the rest is for naught. | |
| Pines of Rome Living stereo Orig vs reissue Look in the dead wax area past the inner groove. Mine has the following on side 1: K2 RY4735 1S. The last number + letter is commonly used as the lacquer or stamper designation. BTW, the 5s of this is also a prized stamper if you can find it. | |
| CONUNDRUM The ARC phono stage with your cartridge is outputting 2.7 volts to the line stage. This is more than enough to drive your amps w/o the linestage. Adding the gain of the linestage, you now have a whopping 38 volts of output to drive the amps at ful... | |
