| Whats on your turntable tonight? Today, so far. The new arm is going through it's run-in. After about 10 hours or so, the highs are still forward and the bass is a tad lean, owing mostly to the burn in needed on the Nordost Valhalla wire and the 20 or more hours needed to cure th... | |

| Preamp Deal of the Century Do you have the gain switches on the top of the unit set to the high gain setting? What about the master gain on the rear panel, where is that set? Is the cart you are using of relatively high output (say- above .9mV or more)?Do you have this hiss... | |
| BEST UPGRADE regardless of cost? The room. Design and treatments from Rives Audio made a tremendous improvement. | |
