| Anyone use a cartridge demagnetizer? I still use mine every 50 hours or so on all my moving coils, also use the degassing section of my Cardas album every few months or so. I have never had any negative effects with either of these, do I hear a difference after their use, hard to say... | |
| Mint LP provides Stevenson Alignment @noromance, yes. @flatblackround, a protractor is the tool you use to set your cartridge up on the tables arm for optimum results. | |
| Do you use VPI Anti-skating? I dress the cables for anti skate with my 3D arm but do use the hanging weight method when I use the metal arms. | |
| Help with phono amp upgrade Even if the tubes are a little beat down, I believe Allnic is giving away a new set of NOS tubes for them as they did for the H1200 when the 1201 replaced it. Contact your dealer/distributor. Like Inna, I have never seen that phono go for anything... | |
| WHAT TURNTABLE? The VPI Prime with the uni pivot 3D arm would be my choice, hard to beat for the money, as a matter of fact I have one in my main system with SDS, SMFA, Periferal ring and Stillpoints LPS record clamp running a ZYX Universe and it sounds heavenly. | |
| Help with phono amp upgrade You will never know what a great phono stage the Allnic 1201 is until you replace that turntable. If your dealer sold you the Allnic for $1,000.00 you should absolutely give him a shot at your business on a new table, keep your cart till you get t... | |

| Looking for a new (used) phono preamp to replace EAR834 There is a used, current model, Herron for sale here now for a little over your budget and a brand new Allnic H1500 for sale also for $3,500.00. The Allnic is a steal at that price. | |
| Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers? While we are on the subject, give the Train redue of Led Zeppelin II a listen, it was recorded live I believe and all money donated to a charity that they chose. Never was a Train fan prior to me getting this LP but I have to appreciate their talent. | |
| Tracking Force? Yes, adjust the VTF to the recommended range and be prepared to align the cartridge alignment as part of your setup. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Dr. John/Bluesiana Triangle, Elvis Costello/The River In Reverse, The Lost Notebook/various artist | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Started with Nic waterhouse/Holly, John Prine/The Tree of Forgivness, Johnny Jenkins/Ton Ton Macoute!, J. Geils Band/first album, Rosanne Cash/The River and the Thread and finished with Bob Dylan/Slow Train Coming. WOW great night. | |
| Most impressive youtube demo clips @sbank , +++++++ | |
| Unexpected Tom Petty "stamper" discovery That is really cool. | |
| Do you ever do this before you listen? Yes, do it before I listen and again as necessary while listening due to sinus issues. |
