| VPI Scout Hum I have a Michell Gyro Se table and had a hum and a buzz. Does your hum change with the volume settings? I tried just about everything to remove the hum/buzz. Finally changed the cables from arm to phono preamp from Kimber Hero to Harmonic Technolo... | |
| cable recommendations If you haven't tried the red dawn cables you should. I tried them several years ago and thought they had a very steely bleached out sound and that was with a pass labs amp and veinna accoustic speakers both considered to be on the warm side. | |
| Need some guidance I like Charly got into vinyl about a year ago it has been alot of fun and I now listen to CD very infrequently. Keep in mind that vinyl has its flaws they are just far easier to ignore than CD.There are lots of good tables, arms, cartridges out th... | |
| PS Audio GCA or RogueM180 All in favor say I. Get some tubes in your system. I just upgraded my m-150's to 180's and i am very pleased with the results and they are made in America, what a novel concept | |

| Tips on Buying Quiet Quality sounding LP's I have found that some of the new 180 gram repressings are a jump ball. I have had some that are very good and some not. Case in point I am on my third 180 gram cat stevens tea for the tillerman album and they all sound poor even relative to some ... | |
| Arm upgrade for Gyrodec SE, could use some help I have the gyrodec se with a rb300 with michell tecno weight and incognito wire and soundsmith smmc-1 cartridge. Sounds very good but as always looking for something better. I am considering the Trans-fi linear tracking arm. It look and sound very... | |

| Do you ever wonder? I live near Atlanta and the following two "artist" are in concert together here this weekend. Kanye West and Lady GaGa. I don't anticipate any arguments about putting these two on the list. | |
| Best Cd Player under $4000? I second the Meridian G08. To me it is a very organic sounding player which minimizes some of the digital nasties without loosing the detail. | |
| Cartridge Alignment HELP Hi, I feel your frustration. I got into vinyl about six months ago and it has taken about that long to learn how to set up a cartridge correctly (overhang, azimuth, vta, sra, vtf etc). If set up correctly it can sound very good if it not it can so... | |
| Advice going from SS to tubes? It is hard to go wrong with the rogue tube gear. Their amps provide good sound across the spectrum and are especially good in the bass department for tube amps. Plus made in the USA and good customer service. | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Anyone with a rega based arm should try this tweak. It costs about $1.50 and takes about 30 minutes to do assuming you have an electric drill and the right size bit and some mechanical ability. I had been struggling for about 3 months trying to ge... | |
| Stylus tracking weight guage As Markd51's observed the Clearaudio Weight Watcher scale appears to be LC-50 with Clearaudio printed on it. I am looking at a picture of the Clearaudio Weight Watcher in the Music Direct catelog for $199 and it look exactly the same as the LC-50 ... | |
| Stylus tracking weight guage Thank you all for your responses. I bought the Proscale LC-50 from Old Will Knott Scales. Waiting for it to arrive will report back so other agon members have the opportunity to avoid what are many times ridiculous audiophile prices for relatively... |
