Croft Acoustcs Vitale - request for US service?
Thanks for the upgrade ideas. Was aware of the IEC socket issue, just haven't gotten around to it. Fuses are interesting. I remember long ago replacing the fuse in my Conrad Johnson PV-11 (wish I still had it) with a higher value ceramic and being...

Thank you for responding and yes, I agree, have gone on line and  found a replacement subminiature spst 125V  switch. Thanks again.   
Any of you experiment with optimal VTA for Benz Micro Cartridges
Thanks all. Shifting to the "tail-up" angle a bit on my Graham did noticeably improve the sound in all aspects.  This shift may also account for the suspension having settled with age and perhaps the point of contact with the stylus is now a "fres...

Thanks so much jperry I will try it. 
Graham 1.5T/C & 2.0T/C Tonearm - bias weight calibration notches corresponding values?
Great thanks so much, should have thought of Vinyl Engine.

Thanks so much 
MIT Z-Stabilizer - original with two-way switch on front - anybody know why two settings?
There are Audiogoners far more technically savvy than I to answer ptss,  so hopefully they'll chime in. All electronic devices resonate. They all vibrate to some degree apparently. Putting "dampers"on vacuum tubes to reduce "microphonics" vibratio... 
MIT Z-Stabilizer - original with two-way switch on front - anybody know why two settings?
Thanks so much for the response ptss. I have unearthed my 3 Stabilizers which I haven't used in years since a major move and now regret so as the improvement is quite audible in my EAR/Croft/Cary electronics. So I'm sensing they rpovide a selectio... 
Recommendations for retipping service for my Benz-Micro?
Thanks to all.  Nandric brings up an important question. So to Steelyjoe and others here: Some provider's "retipping service" process involves only the stylus, but for other providers their "retipping service" process will involve for both stylus ... 
Grace 707 with Grace F9Ruby on modified, veneered Pioneer PL-530 Table - How to sell?
Great advice Martin and nandric. Successfully removed and sold the  cartridge separately and now removing the arm to sell separately.   
Volume Control setting corresponds to how many db down (-db) from 0db at full volume?
Thanks guys and I recognize there are many dependent variables. And thanks larryi, for I can put a steady 440 hz test signal from the Cardas record through the system at the db level equivalent to what I typically listen to music at as measured on... 
Grace 707 with Grace F9Ruby on modified, veneered Pioneer PL-530 Table - How to sell?
Thanks for the responses, I have listed the whole setup on Audiogon to see what the responses might be. Had a G-747 once myself on a big Denon, a great arm destroyed by movers in a house move. 
Setting cathode bias in my tube amps manually, how accurate must I be?
Thanks George, went to the site and thanks atmasphere. Perhaps a embarrassing question: do I assume that the absolute value of idle current drawn across a resistance would be polarity-neutral, (whether or not there is a minus sign in front of it),... 
Finding reasonable Shipping for heavy, crated speakers to ship cross-country
Thanks to all of you. Gosh I love Audiogoners, you guys are great!  Czarivey I'm going to head to FedEx and open an account and see what happens. Thanks. Erik
