| Digital microscope recommendations Check out dx.com. They have a whole range for a fraction of the cost. Have ordered a sub $10 model. There is a $30 model that looks pretty much like the $300 models !!CheersPradeep | |
| Which is REALLY the best Conrad Johnson Preamp I can't speak for the rest of the CJ lineup . I have had a CT 5 for over 5 1/2 years and am more than satisfied and cant think of any reason to change. Any meaningful improvement would take me to a GAT @$25k. No idea if the ET 5 is a better preamp... | |

| Adjusting counterweight on Loricraft RCM In addition to the many useful suggestions above do check Yip Mint's site as he has some interesting ideas eg putting a bit of vaseline on the jar collar where the lid comes in contact is a huge plus otherwise it can be difficult to prise open the... | |
| Raven AC3 I have owned a AC 1 in various avtars for close to 2.5 years. To the OPs query is it dark sounding, most emphatically not IME.As Halcro rightly points out you can tweak a TT to optimise its sound in various ways, record clamp, mat, isolation etc.I... | |

| Conrard-Johnson CT5 tube rolling? Hi VanceReplaced the stock Sovtek 6H30 in the CT 5 with a brand new pair of EH 6H30.Its the same tube except it has gold plated pins with makes for better contact. As for sonic differences its sooo miniscule, though I suspect the newer tubes have ... | |
| TriPlanar Tips I have owned both a Triplanar Mk 7 and Talea 2.The Triplanar arrived in Oct 2008 and the Talea 2 in Dec 2010. There was a period of over a year when the 2 arms were mounted on the same TT and compared with the same cart ie initially a Transfigurat... | |
| Replacing 6550s with KT 88s I procured a set of Genalex KT 88s from Well Audio Labs, Singapore,last week and spent the better part of the weekend comparing the 3000 hr+ Winged C 6550s with the new KT88s.What immediately struck me was that despite some 3000 + hrs there was li... | |
