Tonearm recommendation
Dear Crazy Bill-Keep the 66s!!!Don't listen to any of these ramblings.if you must have a modern arm, buy one for high compliance cartridges and decide for yourself,but keep the 66s.Louis 
JL Audio f112 or f113 sub?
Are you still pleased with the 2 f 112's for audio?Thanks.Louis 
EL 34 question
I use two different el 34 based amps and depending on the rest of the system if you use real Mullard XF 2 dual halo el 34's, not the reissues, you will get a huge performance boost in areas of midrange depth and image density or riichness. Also wi... 
Garrard 301 and Graham Phantom or Vintage Arm
Among modern arms the Graham is a superb tone arm for many systems, but the Garrard benefits from an arm like the Triplanar, which emphasizes the leading edge. This adds another dimension of speed and resolution to the Garrard. I used this combina... 
Garrard 301-Worth the effort?
I am a huge believer in the 301, but if you want it to sing, it must be restored and recommissioned. If you plan to do it on the cheap- forget about it- there are better options.Steve Dobbins is probably the best person in the US to tweak it and r... 
Rockport Sirius III & Micro Seiki 8000 comparison
Alan-What a good time to be king surrounded with such glorious music making machines! I am glad you are getting traction with your system and eagerly wait for more feedback and the official shoot out date. If you could borrow another Lrya Olympus,... 
Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths
Vertigo-When I commissioned the Garrard 301, it was recently restored by Loricraft with a new 301 power supply provided by Steve Dobbins as well as an analogue tube ceramic bearing.I had two tone arms at the time, a Schroder DPS and SME 3012, and ... 
Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths
In_Shore's comments regarding the merits of a good and proper plinth are spot on.The reason to build a solid plinth is to calm the excessive vibration from the SP 10's and the Garrard 301 or Lenco for that matter, since they generate a huge amount...

Why does the Marantz 10B Tuner sound so amazing ???
I found this link on goggle from Pro Audio Group that summarizies why the 10B is so unique. "The Model 10B came out in 1963. It was a no rules-money is no object project. It has an onboard CRT tube for tuning in multipath stations. There are 22 tu... 
Why does the Marantz 10B Tuner sound so amazing ???
The 10B, Mr 71 and Mr 67 are all wonderful and a pleasure to listen to for long periods.If you have a few good stations in your area, any one of theseclassics would fill the need quite nicely.With the iconic 10B, however, you have an amazing midra... 
EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different?
Raul-Yes. Only on heavily modulated passages you could sense a slight loss of speed or stylus drag, but in many cases you tended to overlook it because when it was on it excelled in capturing micro detail and nuance.The Loricraft 301 motor control... 
EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different?
This discussion regarding stylus drag is the reason why I sold some highly regarded belt drive turntables. I could hear them slow down during heavily modulated passages. I didn't understand what was happening until i listened to a turntable that h... 
Micro Max 282 vs. Exclusive EA-10
Daniel- this is a good combination. We were concerned there might be a little Lou Reed or David Bowie in there (hee hee).L 
EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different?
Thuchan- In shore is exactly right. Reviewing a product that is not currently being marketed or readily available does not serve the industry's best interest, which is to make a market for products currently being manufactured. Personally, I don't...
