| In case you need a new "source" for audiophile units..... "Vintage" has taken on a deeper meaning these days.A millennial or Gen Z see's something made in 80's as "rare" | |
| Lower end Soundsmith cartridges vs others in same price range? I have a SS Otello for an emergency backup cart.It's a great $400 cart. In my system, I hear it as described by SS. Fantastic mids/highs but light on the low end. System dependent I would imagine. The Otello in my system is excellent for Classic... | |

| Focal Kanta No 2 I have the PL HP, and have heard it with the Kanta 2's many times.They will be a significant upgrade to your $1500 Kef's. Enough to be done with speakers for awhile.The Evo 400 will handle them with no problem. Take the time to optimize their pos... | |
| Retipping Cartridge No need to get discouraged by replies.I’ve got a cart I’m sending to Andy to see if he can do his magic to it.Hoping he can save my $2.5K cart that I didn’t see 1 year of service.He has plenty of positive reviews, and it’s a faster turnaround comp... | |

I feel left out-did I miss a ra... | |

| Phono Stage for a VPI Prime Scout Try and put as much into the phonostage-at least half the retail cost of the Prime. You'll get something that will get the most of whatever cartridge used.Consider a used piece to allow you to spend more. | |
| Most valuable LP "I have one The Plasmatics. Killer cover with typical 80’s punk songs."Saw WOW and the Plasmatics in 1980 at Gazzari's on the Sunset Strip in Hollyweird. Had no idea who they were. Just dropped in with friends to listen to a band.Woman with expos... | |
| Tweaks that work? (yes very subjective topic) "the phono stage is in the 390 and it is the 310LP"internal phonostage? You may be surprised how an outboard unit can be a game changer. Your setup appears solid, but that is where I would look for possible, significant improvements. From the a... | |
