| Turntable Cartridge upgrade question. @ssg308 , I can’t figure out how to post the link with this iPad. It is in the “ new today” listings in bold print. It was near the top of the page earlier but may be further down now. You can’t miss it. | |
| A persistent hummmm... That is the danger of running tubes with high efficiency speakers, Hum is usually inevitable. Have you checked with the manufacturer to see if the amount of hum you are getting is normal? | |
| Technics SL-1200GAE or VPI HW-40 or …? I had an original VPI Prime and traded it in for a Technics SL1200G. If you want to constantly fuss with the turntable, get a VPI. If you want to enjoy your music with a fantastic turntable that is not fussy but pretty much a set and forget table,... | |

| Upgrade My Turntable - How Much Do I Need to Spend? I was in the same position as you. I had a good turntable but constantly had to fiddle with it. It took all the enjoyment of listening to vinyl away. I traded my turntable in on a new Technics SL1200G DD turntable @4K. This is the least fiddly... | |
| Cornwall IV's with Accuphase E-650? good match? McIntosh and Klipsch go great together. | |
| Transport Recommendations I see new CEC transports offered here for decent money. Sorry I am not sure of the seller. | |
| Looking for recommendations for integrated with a more “organic” sound. I would look at the more expensive Lebem tube integrated. One of the best sounding integrateds I have ever heard. Almost makes me want to trade my McIntosh SS integrated for one. Note I said almost. |
