| Phono hum No Kmulkey, let me clsrify what I meant...these devices get rid of static electricity if your concern is damaging something from the zap therefrom. You have to eliminate the hum via a different means - you cant enjoy your music with the hum unless... | |
| Phono hum Use a Talisman, Milty Zerostat, etc. You can't listen to the thing humming along!! I/m using Anti-Cables from the Superscout to my Ayre. Not only is there no hum, but it is dead silent. If you turn up the volume and put your ear to the speaker you... | |
| LP -12 Felt Plater Mat I liked the Non-Felt mat, or the Boston Carbon Mat | |
| How Much Is TOO MUCH for a Analog front End? You say your table is on brass cones and a stone shelf. That would seems to be a poor choice.

| How Much Is TOO MUCH for a Analog front End? Regarding the rim drive for the VPI. I spoke to Harry about it and he said that it is a significant upgrade that is realitively cheap to add to the current Scoutmasters.

| How Much Is TOO MUCH for a Analog front End? I suggest that you listen to your dream setup and see if it is something that you are willing to spend the money for. Listen also to things less expensive and things more expensive and make an informed decision. | |
