| Rules of getting best audio ? maybe.. I would suggest stay away from "white van guy" but I think Covid 19 has kept him away. He never offers a model with a nice veneer finish.Always seem to be black. | |
| Sharing some of your favorite Music FM stations that are now online?... But does it sound as convincing as on a good ol tube tuner?I'm fortunate to be in an area with great reception for my public stations.The R&R stations, naturally are awful, but they come in nice and strong. | |
| POWER TUBES and Musical genre I hear the old RCA big bottle 6l6G, as a nice compromise. Close enough EL34 mids, and bass punch of a KT88.It's been my choice for years now. Surprisingly, still can be found for reasonable prices. Worth a listen, if your amp can accommodate the ... | |
| My AT150MLX Cartridge has been misaligned for 4 years The stylus just has 4 years of specific stylus wear due to the alignment. It sounds better now, just go with it.If it were aligned according to the jig 4 years ago, it would just now be worn based on that.Try a Rega cart next replacement time. No ... | |
| Anyone with tinnitus or hearing loss who is into "high-end" audio?

| Do we ask too much of our audio systems? A good system will get pretty close to experiencing live "woman" tone or a crunchy LP thru a stack of Marshalls, but it's still just "pretty close"The pressing you're using and the system does make a difference, but in the end still just sounds li... | |
| Width of Stage Hearing symbols..wow!Playing my album, I can only hear the crash and shimmer of the cymbals on my system. Got me a '59 mono-beautiful!Must be missing something on my copy. Sorry, couldn't resist. Too much quarantine time. | |
| Hinged Dust Cover for VPI Scout Now's your chance to develop one and market it.It's not that big of a deal to lift it off and place it in the corner of the room. You're already making the effort to put the record on the platter.If you could somehow glue the older Rega style plas... | |
| Looking for an integrated amp around 4000 to 5000. "those Prima Luna tube amps have an output impedance of several ohms! Hardly good for bass performance! My Dynaco ST70 is far better!White paper vs anectdotal experience often contradict what anyone's ears actually like.Having used the PL HP for... | |
| Setting Anti-Skate on VPI Fatboy Tonearm VPI anti skate.....don't bother per VPI(HW)You absolutely need A/S per Soundsmith.You can drive yourself mad worrying which suggestion is correct.I can't hear a difference either way on my Classic. I've gone periods with and without.Following SS a... | |
| Best roof antenna for vintage tube fm tuner On my MR71, I use the 300 ohm connection, hooked up to the rooftop TV aerial....yeah, I still have one! I don't get any 10s since I don't have it optimally postioned, but near 10's on the stations I listen to. Sound fine to me-quiet and noise fr... | |

| Garrott vs Soundsmith I took the time to read your earlier post on the Garrott history, Chakster.Wow! That's some backstory. Interesting. | |
| Interesting Fed Ex encounter... That's awful. I hope you resolve it.These days, no one wants to assume any responsibility, or own up to mistakes.You need to have a video recording/signed copy of the transaction and 5 witnesses to cover yourself, because the other guy just shrug... |
