Russian tube supply issues
I thought this headline and story was a scream and shows what regular folk are doing to pitch in on their own: Russian oligarchs superyacht stuck in Norway because no-one there will sell it fuel. "NRK spoke with several supplies of fuel in Norwa...

Facten, you are exactly correct. It’s difficult to do, but way less difficult than what the people and families of those being victimized are enduring. Since very few people are even aware of, much less standing up for them, they are screwed. For ...

Fredfung2021, please clarify who is seeing what narrative and what you think might be actually going on. I’m all ears. Thanks, Mike

Prof, I have to disagree with you, I feel anything we can do to help stop the atrocities going on in Ukraine, including bringing the Russian economy down to stop it, is the least of what we should be doing, Even if it’s only a symbolic gesture lik...

Thank you Bill, that's encouraging to hear. Glad yours' has been reliable too. So many products aren't, Mike  
Russian tube supply issues
Prof, if you purchase Russian tubes and they are restocked via China, as mentioned in a post above, you should consider if you might be supporting the Russian economy by doing so. All our government and European allies are presently willing to do ...

Instead of bragging about finding Russian tubes to buy, you could always support Putin’s horror show in other ways. I for one won’t knowingly purchase any Chinese products either since reading they have between 1 to 1.8 millions Uighurs in concent...

Lewm, if the consensus was the Fatboy performs way worse than other cartridges in its’ price range, then i would reconsider going that direction. That’s why i started this thread. I do appreciate you and others taking your time to make suggestions...

Mijostyn and lewm . For the reasons mentioned a few posts back, I’ve decided not to perform any major or minor surgery on the turntable to install another tonearm. I will instead wait until I feel comfortable budgeting the resources to purchase th...

Dodgealum, when it arrives, I’ll be putting the Lyra Kleos on my current tonearm. The VPI Fatboy is going to be a future purchase for budgetary reasons. Thanks for describing the way the sound improved with your 3D arm. the Fatboy likely delivers... 
VPI Fatboys versus others in its' tonearm weight class.
Lewm, the more I look into it, the more the VPI Fatboy seems to be the logical choice. I’ve emailed VPI a week ago to see if they feel the Fatboy is compatible with the Lyra Kleos cartridge I have on order, but haven’t heard back yet. I think I re... 
How to choose an upgraded tonearm.
Pindac, thanks again. Raul, thanks for all your advice too, I’ll keep trying to sort out the wheat from the chaff, which is fun, like solving a puzzle, and hopefully not waste too much of my resources in the process. Tablejockey, thanks for read...
