Review: Merlin Music Systems TSM-MME Monitor
The C220 is gone. Tubes in the amp and preamp were too much of a good thing for me. I decided to keep the tubes in the amp. I now use a Pass Labs X1 and I love it. Now I am enjoying my Merlins even more!!! I believe that assessment to be true, alt...

MM Cartridge for VPI Scout
I think I am on to something. I am really appreciative of all of your help. Vibration is definitely affecting the performance. I just put a piece of granite under the table and already an immense improvement in tracking. What I am thinking is wall...
