A little set up help,please
Matt.... This is so odd. Anytime I ask that question (loading for the Winfield) I get such a wide range of answers. You say, 100, Harry W from VPI says his is loaded at 500, there are reviews on the internet where some audiophile mag says 1000... ...

Sub suggestions
Check out Outlaw Audio. Even though their subs are not much money, they do a good job. 
Hum question
OK Daniele...now what I would do is plug the phono into a high level input of the preamp which eliminates the phono circuit..testing it this way, make sure the volume is way down and slowly bring it up to see if the hum is present there.

how does it all work ?

Suggestions for arm to replace VPI 12.7
