| Static on turntable I use the TEAC washi paper and notice a reduction in static. However I live in a low static area. | |
| Sumiko BPS EVO III HO broken stylus - What now? If you like it retip. Joseph Long or Steve at VAS. | |
| How Soon Do You Realize You Don't Like a Piece of Gear? I would also keep in mind that the synergy with the cart matters also. I prefer a tube stage but I have had instances when one cart sounded better with a different stage. | |
| Wonder product? Puffin etc. been around for some time. DSP I think. Do a search. | |
| McIntosh MT5 or VPI Prime Scout turntable Instead of changing TTs why not try an external phono stage first like an EQ500? Phono stage can make a big difference. | |
| SUT help There's a Bob's Sky10 on USAM right now. 1:10 is probably all you need. I gotta say, I listened first through the MC side and then through the Hashimotos and I don't hear much difference. Of course there is the gain. Not listening for anything... | |

| DH Labs Prelude Speaker cable @mpomerantz Sorry I meant you aren't going to get fancy outers or boxes etc. No frou frou. I replaced Cardas Iridiums on my phono with DH Labs Pro Studios with no loss in quality. I think the sweet spot in their product line is their silver... | |
| DH Labs Prelude Speaker cable Not a lot of stores carry DH Labs. While not exactly a direct to consumer brand, they don't spend a lot on promotion or packaging. I see their cables in places like Cable Company or Parts Connexion. Audioquest/Cardas they are not. Order direct... | |
| Turntable Advice on Hum/Brands I had a P3 and had no issues. Just need to cross your t's and dot the i's when you set it up. Rega's don't have a ground wire. IMO, the deal right now is the Anniversay P3, almost a P6 and cheaper. Use the saved money for a nice cart. I would... | |
| Upgrading Turntable: Pro-ject 6perspex or Rega RP6 (upgraded cartridge) I had a Rega P3 and when I upgraded I read better things about the Rega arm than the Project. I would go with the better arm. |
