Preamp Deal of the Century
Mhu,I own the Berning ZH270. I use the normal setting and run the volume wide open. This effectively eliminates both volue controls being in circuit. I find that the music has much more dynamics to it this way. Yes it does limit how far you can tu...

Has anyone used the 5932 tube in the regulator position on the Supratek? If so, what are your thoughts?

Hi Raytheprinter,I have found the Tung Sol round plates to be the best for me. I have a couple pair of Ken-Rad black glass I can sell you at a good price if you are interested. I have some other tubes for the Supratek too. Shoot me an e-mail off l... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Just recieved an e-mail from Mick. He says he is being delayed because he is waiting for cabinets. He said special orders take longer. I ordered the Seaoak with black top and gold knobs. At least I have my Syrah back to enjoy. Now I am waiting for...

Can the Bendix 6106 be used in the newest Cortese? 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Hi Guys,I have been without my Syrah for the past 3 weeks or so. We put in some new carpet, so I had to take my system apart. I have a friend that has been wanting to hear my Syrah in his system, so I let him borrow it. My friends system is top no...

I ordered my Cortese the end of October. I checked with Mick recently and he could not give me a date, just that they are running behind. I am sure they are working as fast as they can. As the owner of a Syrah, all I can say is what many others ha...

Hi Larry,I sent Mick an e-mail asking about inverting phase. I will let you know what he says. 
Preamp Deal of the Century
I have a question. Have any of you guys ever had Mick put a switch on you preamps that allows it to invert phase? With so many LP's recorded out of phase, seems like a good thing to have. 
Cartridge for a VPI JMW10 arm
Hi Cableplex,Thanks for giving the 3g weight a try. I think I will check into getting a ZYX cartridge. Not sure which model yet. Thanks to everyone for your input. 
Cartridge for a VPI JMW10 arm
I recieved an e-mail from Harry at VPI. He said I could use the Denon if I put a 3g headshell spacer on so that the resonance would occur at the correct frequency. Has anyone ever used one of these? 
Cartridge for a VPI JMW10 arm
Hi Tpsonic, I would love to get the Shelter, but I have been told it is not a good match with my tonearm, because of the compliance. I think a guy that works at VPI told me that one of the guys that works there had one on his VPI arm though. I don...

Hi Slipknot1,I thought about the 17D2, but that short cantaliever scares me. It looks like it could be a problem on any record that has a warp of any kind. How would you describe the sound?
