Wierd Phono problem - what causes this?
I had a very similar problem,which took alot of time to diagnose.In my case,it turned out to be a phonostage problem,which is being fixed,as we speak.This sounds like your situation. The actual reason for my own problem,was something that could ha... 
New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre
Well,my approach is to "attempt" to acquire the best possible component choice to fit my sonic tastes,and pocketbook.... Then,as time goes by(if I really like the component)I see if it can be updated,to further improve something I already know is ...

Jafox,I've been doing some research,awaiting the "near closure"(finally) of my component issues(I should be "way" ahead,sonically,of where I started,if I've done my homework correctly,and have my fingers crossed). Yes,the Stealth looks to be a "fa...
