| Preamp Deal of the Century Tom,Does the Cortese have a phono stage (I can't seem to keep all the models straight)? The Chenin has a phono stage using the 6922's, which are in the front most position. Confusing as both tube sets have a 9 pin configuration.... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Slowhand,You got it: 6922's in the front. Then sit back and enjoy!! | |

| what would be a good mat for a VPI SCOUT JWM9 Nope. Tried felt, Sorbothane, Herbie's (btw, am a BIG proponent of the Grungebuster for CD's though). Mats on the Scout/Scoutmaster deaden the sound and muck up the pace and drive. Harry Weisfield designs this way for a reason. Give that platter a... | |
| VPI Scoutmaster At the very base of the tower, there are TWO setscrews: one on the side near the cueing arm, and one on the back.Both of these must be loosened. Then use the knurled adjustment nut to move your VTA up or down, then retighten the setscrews. It only... | |

| what would be a good mat for a VPI SCOUT JWM9 No, and none. The acrylic platter/clamp system are designed to provide you with all you need for great playback. Most aftermarket mats are designed to compensate for a platter deficiency. | |

| What concerts have your kids dragged you to? In 1995, I took my 12 yo son and a bunch of his 12 and 13 yo friends (male and female) to see Dave Matthews Band. I was stunned at how great they were. Extended jams and very tight musicianship. Unfortunately, in 2005, they are still playing the s... |
