| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Thanks Sherod for the link would like to hear from those who have tried Gold Lions out. On the CCAs maybe late 70s and 80s versions for 150 to 200 bucks. And in my case those issues of the tube are no way as good as early 70s and 60s versions the ... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Sherod i feel your pain. My buddy has a tester and it proved i had the same feelings as you with the degeneration of sound in my system, 4 shot very expensive CCA tubes. The Siemans CCAs are getting so darn expensive that i'm going to try somethin... | |

| TriPlanar Tips I not only removed the trough assy from my TP. But if you haven't removed the anti skate devise also you haven't heard what superior sound a Triplaner can retrieve from a vinyl record no joke. | |
| analog newbie question/vinyl weight Doug the Luke method is the only real way to get it right or i should say get it to sound right to your ears. I sent in my TP last month for a check up and on return decided to spend the time to listen for those changes from different VTA/SRA sett... | |
