| Sota Eclipse packages for VPI tables. @earthtones, Thanks. It's the stand alone, extremely heavy motor, also a separate flywheel. | |
| Bin dug noisy records. Does it diminish your enjoyment? I have a local shop that has a whole section of $1 records. Most are apparently in pretty bad shape, but there are those that are dirty and have only superficial scratches.If I don't already have the record and it looks like it might clean up OK,... | |
| Sota Eclipse packages for VPI tables. Thanks for that. I have the TNT 4, which has the massive separate motor housing and separate flywheel. Based on the drawings, the motor should fit but might require a small spacer between the motor and base, or maybe have a machine shop slightly ... | |

Bought new.DB Systems 1B/2A/4B blew a ps cap after 38 years. Bought new.Logic DM-101 TT, 37 years, still working, had ... | |
| BUI - Guilty I got in about 5 hours last night, I just couldn't stop listening and comparing. I know the new tubes aren't even burned in yet, but what I heard last night was extremely promising.This preamp has balls, something I would not normally attribute t... | |
| BUI - Guilty Ok, I just got the BAT presmp, I only had time to unbox it. I think I hit the jackpot.. The unit was checked out and serviced by BAT earlier this month, and the repair invoice also had a new set of factory tubes included.Hopefully I can set it u... | |
| BUI - Guilty I don't know if my system sounds better. I know I connect with the music better. I close my eyes, the room and system just seems to disappear and the music takes me where it might.I don't like listening to the "sound" of my system, so much gets ... | |
| BUI - Guilty Well, I don't spend what I don't have, under the influence or not. And next on my list to upgrade was my preamp.I have no buyer's remorse, only excitement to receive it. It's on the truck for delivery by end of day.I think a lot of people have g... | |
| BUI - Guilty Congrats on the legal weed and cool tube amp! A great combo...Yeah, it's the most effective (and cost effective) tweak when it comes to musical enjoyment. :) | |
| BUI - Guilty @kingbarbuda,I had tubes in the past. I built my own tube preamp with mc phono stage back in the early 90s, and also rebuilt a pair of mono Conn tube organ amps, but only used them occasionally with my Apogee Duetta IIs. I also had a nice Eico S... | |
| Bryston 7B (not SST or higher) still Viable Option I had an original 3B, was the original owner since 1982 or so. I had it fixed once when it was about 18 years old, was blowing fuses in one channel. Bryston fixed and brought up to spec free under warranty, though I had to pay shipping one way. ... | |
| BUI - Guilty Meh... | |
| Best wishes Definitely best wishes to Keith. I'm glad I was able to get one of his last phono stages, and I enjoy it every day.Enjoy your retirement! | |
| At This Time Can We Recreate Full Range Live Music In The Home? The first question to ask is can the recording process accurately capture live music.Maybe on very simple acoustic instruments, but otherwise, no.Next is how much does the mastering process compress the "liveness" out.I think the best we can hope ... | |
| Channels reversed in streaming versions of older albums Interesting about LZ1, but it doesn't explain the others. |
