Step 1: Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP Integrated vs their EVO 300 Floyd Hybrid Integrated
Longtime PL user, presently DHP. "I would prefer not to have to replace power tubes every few years during retirement, when my music enjoyment time will hopefully increase 5 to 10 fold." Even if your listening time increases dramatically, I thin... 
Happy listening in SoCal
(and with my simpleton brain, I would think; if one can afford all tube mega mono blocks , how would he notice a slight increase in the electric bill?) Reality, yes. If you've got the setup, you don't care about the bill. A Bugatti owner isn't dr...

'The lowest rate tier was 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM. If they dropped anything it would be that one." charliee- Not long ago, SCE dropped the medical device discount RATE and just upped the limit for KWH use. They sure aren't going to lose $$ on adjust... 
Alternative to Zyx Ultimate Airy
New cart and still curious.. Not a good place. The proposed $2500 could fund a " better" phono stage to further exploit the potential of whatever cart is used. $2500 used=$5000 MSRP  
Feedback from PrimaLuna EVO 300 owners.
"Does it pair well with SS amps, and if so, which ones?" If you're not set on using a SS amp, a matching PL tube amp is always available in the listings- seemingly at negotiatiable price too. Longtime PL user.  
VPI TNT 3
"Does anyone have any suggestions to dial in 45rpms in the meantime until I’m able to pickup an out of production SDS or an updated PLC (currently VPI calls it the ADS)." This is the better option: Eclipse Series – Sota Turntables More accurate... 
Truly Stunning Vinyl Album
"Not an "audiophile" sounding recording, but "Superstition" by Stevie Wonder (on his Talking Book album) is a track that is very "punchy" sounding. One of the best drum sounds I've ever heard- " bdp24-  You probably know the story-that intro was... 
Hot off the press...Technics SL 1300G
"I prefer the weight because the clamp imposes stress on the spindle whereas the weight does not. I cannot detect any sonic difference in the use of one over the other." jmeyers-  So you can fit a rubber washer, place a LP over that and the clam... 
Rega Planar 3 upgrades
You can always count on Ebay to find a MIC knockoff. You'll gets what you pay for-could be an exact knockoff or...not so much. From pics it looks just like my REAL jig.  
Hot off the press...Technics SL 1300G
atmasphere- I was hoping for you to drop by and provide some insight.  "The one I feel works best on there is the Oracle mat, but then you have a problem with the spindle being too short for a collet-style record clamp. In due time I hope to fix... 
Gold Note PH-10 vs Manley Chinook
To my ears, Chinook does what tube units do- give a level of "organic" that's a hit or miss thing with SS. Not "tubey" but "real" presentation. If you're  a "Listen for noise" type,  max volume no music playing will result in tube hiss. Goldnote...

Hot off the press...Technics SL 1300G
'It would also be great if Technics offer a Motor / Platter only with a purpose produced Power Supply - Speed Controller" pindac, What about the SP10? https://us.technics.com/products/direct-drive-turntable-sp-10re-s?_pos=1&_psq=SP-10&_... 
Hot off the press...Technics SL 1300G
Based on specs, the 1300 essentially has most of engineering of the 1200G/SP10 Naturally, Technics did things to meet the P.P .  Out of the box, a stock 1200G can be a "done" piece. The aesthetic is the deal breaker for me.
