Project Debut III vs. Music Hall MMF 5?
GenesisI love my SL-10. Just upgraded the cartridge and it sounds even better. Click on my system and see what i got. These devices may not be for everyone but it works for me. 
Project Debut III vs. Music Hall MMF 5?
I got back into vinyl last year with the Pro-ject Debut III. The cartridge was pre-installed and the set up was easy. The only thing I did not like was the mat, it’s a cheap felt material. It made me really miss my old Pioneer PL 15 semi-auto tabl... 
Belkin TuneFM for iPod
I recently tried the Griffin with my ipod. I got it to work, but the sound is not worth the trouble, very disappointing. Thanks for the cassette adapter tip I'll give it a try.

The dumbest thing you ever did to your stereo?
I rolled the 12AT7's in my VTL mono blocks. I put in 12AX7's by mistake. Other than sounding like crap and feeling like a dork, nothing bad happened. 
VTL TL2.5 Preamp
I love mine and agree with all of the above. If you decide to get one, check the tube types used in the year it was built. I seem to remember reading somewhere that changes were made along the way. Mine uses 12AT7's and 12AU7's. Tube rolling can b...
