Musical designs/concepts had mod kits for my B&K EX442.  I was considering sending them my amp and B&K preamp, but ended up getting an integrate tube amp 
Question for Mofi Ultradeck owners
After rereading your post, if you don’t have to jack any of the legs up to level the table, or should have enough room to lift the back hinges out of their slots, but clearing the back of the tone arm could be a issue.   Think you need at least 8 ... 
Question for Mofi Ultradeck owners
I bought the Mofi Studiodeck.  The stated height is with the dust cover on.  The cover does not add any to the depth or width.  I don’t think I would trust the hinges.  It is either on or off, but I don’t have room above it to raise the dust cover... 
Pure analog system with high power
I have been very pleased with a used Rogue Cronus Magnum II.  No Dacs, etc.  The III appears to have a more sophisticated phono stage.  Mine is 100 tube watts and easily drives my Ohm Walsh 4 as well as my previous 200W solid state. 
Phono Stage That's not Schiit
I am very happy with a used Musical Surroundings Nova Phonomena.  I believe I got mine for about $600.  The rest of the chain is Soundsmith SMMC 1, Rogue Cronus Magnum II, and Ohm Walsh 4, so i’m not sure how resolving it is for minor phono stage ... 
How many vinyl albums do you own you listen to?
I also have about 7 lineal feet, mostly used buys.  I’ve been buying more new the last few years, so maybe 1/3 are new or quality used purchases.  I definitely don’t need that many and don’t listen to all of them.  No desire to sell through discoe... 
Refresh Ohm Walsh 4s or Walsh 5000 upgrade?
And saves everyone the hassle of shipping cabinets!  Having never done that, and having an active imagination, I was ready for a horror show.As I was about to give my credit card #, and looking out the window,  a bald eagle glided past about 20 fe... 
Are the new Ohm Walsh speakers Audiophile quality?
They are fantastic if you don’t have any choice but to put them next to the front wall or even in the corners.  I’ve had Ohm Walsh 4s for about 5 years, and since I got them I haven’t been curious once about trying different speakers.  I think tha... 
Refresh Ohm Walsh 4s or Walsh 5000 upgrade?
Thanks again for the input.  I’m placing the order for the super Walsh 4.5000 upgrade today. 
Refresh Ohm Walsh 4s or Walsh 5000 upgrade?
I've talked to John at Ohm a couple times.  The 5000 is pretty much a drop-in upgrade to the 4s with new anchor bolts.  Removing the crossover will take some work, but I'd have to take them out to send back for crossover repair anyway.  The instru... 
Refresh Ohm Walsh 4s or Walsh 5000 upgrade?
Thanks, mapman .  Good to hear.  I’ll put the upgrade on my old 4 cabinets that are in good shape.  That will keep the cost down.  Never had a desire to see if the grass was greener on the other side or replace the 4s until the one acted up, so th...

Is LP distortion the record or the cartridge?
I was having a similar problem in highly modulated passages, particularly female vocal harmonies and Pink Floyd crescendos.  I only noticed this after a significant turntable upgrade.  I kept thinking it must be cartridge alignment or a compliance... 
REL t5i + ht1003
I’m running 2 REL T5s on the high input, with the neutral connectors, and resolved hum by grounding the black wires to the amp chassis  
Looking for a turntable around $1k...
+1 on the MoFi studiodeck.  I recently purchased one, and I am impressed with how quiet even cheap used records can be when properly cleaned.  It is fully adjustable for proper cartridge alignment.
