Rebuilt Ortofon A90?
I'd like to hear from people who've had it done before I put that kind of money into a rebuild. 
Shuguang 12AX7 Pavane/Psvane Reference.
The Psvane EL84 is an excellent tube, too. 
Kuzma 4 Point owners - Do you use damping?
Yes, you are correct about the Foz. The idea is to get both channels to read the same, or as close as possible. 
Seeking opinions on Clearaudio vs. SOTA tables
I ran a Phantom II on my Innovation Wood, alongside a Universal arm, and preferred the Graham by quite a bit. If you go with the outer ring, I'd recommend the 10-inch wand. With the 9-inch, the ring comes very close to the cuing platform on the Gr... 
Anyone listened to Clearaudio Master Innovation?
I believe member Rockitman has one. He posts more frequently in the What's Best Forum these days, it seems, so check over there. 
Best pre amp for Mcintosh 501s
The 501s are anything but harsh. When I owned them, I thought the C2300 preamp complimented them well. You can roll in tubes to fit your sonic preferences. I liked Psvanes in mine. A step higher would be the C500t, which should be available near y... 
HRS M3X isolation base or Minus-K?
Hi Scott, thanks for the response. Both brands are unfamiliar to me. I'll look into them. --Bill 
HRS M3X isolation base or Minus-K?
Hey Mark,Jeff told me you've been in touch. Glad things are working out. I just couldn't resist another turntable!Bill 
HRS M3X isolation base or Minus-K?
Myles, I'd be interested in your opinion on the OP question about HRS platforms and Minus-K. You've probably listened to more turntables on isolation platforms than most of us. 
Jean Nantais Lenco Reference mk. ii user feedback
Interesting. Thanks. 
HRS M3X isolation base or Minus-K?
Yeah, I'm especially convinced by "invariably" and "ditto."Anyone have experience with the HRS M3X platforms? They're the unknown quantity to me. 
HRS M3X isolation base or Minus-K?
Sksos1, I hear your pitch. 
HRS M3X isolation base or Minus-K?
Rsf507, I know Vibraplanes are a great option. I'm a bit put off by the idea of bladders and compressed air, probably because I had an irritating time with a leaky seismic sink long ago. No comparison between the two products, I know, but still. G... 
Difference between Brinkmann Bardo and Oasis?
Hi Ps68, Shipping was delayed while additional armboards were drilled, so it's not here yet. Judging by the tracking info, it ought to be landing at LAX around now (am I eager or what?), about to clear customs and head north. I'll report back afte... 
Anyone modded a Steelhead?
I might be able to shed some light on the Lightspeed question, if only by extrapolation. Like Whart, I prefer the Steelhead into a preamp. Directly into my amps (whether Bryston 28b-SST2 or Reference Line Silver Signature), I found it to be nicely...
