| AI saids Vinyls needs to be stored 90 degrees. I had mine at about 70 degrees. Thoughts? Kettle black. | |
| AI saids Vinyls needs to be stored 90 degrees. I had mine at about 70 degrees. Thoughts? Vinyls, ugh. My 25 year old niece was just visiting. She used this term. It’s a marker of her generation, one that discovered LPs on TikTok. | |
| Aric Audio Transcend Push Pull? Reposting my comments from an earlier thread. Thus was a few years. My appreciation of this amp has only grown. I bought one of Aric’s Transcend Push-Pull amps with a few upgrades--Jupiter caps, Edcor transformers, a TDK volume pot rather th... | |
| AricAudio's new Jackpot 5751 tube-rectified truly balanced preamplifier Big fan of Aric’s gear, owning a Transcend Push Pull for several years. This new preamp looks very interesting. Does it have a remote? I’m thinking yes, otherwise why the motorized volume control, but the website makes no mention that I noticed. I... | |
| Speaker for 300b amp? For the past three years I’ve been using modified Cornwall IV with my 8w Luxman MQ-300. I have to say, I think they sound marvelous together. The stock Cornwalls are a little tipped up and harsh. Doing the capacitor mods that Don Sachs detailed in... | |

| Why hasnt a turntable manufacturer produced a table with automatic tonearm return/shutoff? @billstevenson I had that turntable, too! I think I used the multi spindle a few times but never took to it. Got a lot of mileage out of that old Dual. | |
| Graham Phamtom III Reference tonearm Hi @dover , yes, no doubt this its true. I have experienced it with tonearms like the Tri-planar VII u2 that have counterweights of different sizes, allowing one to locate the weight near the pivot or farther from it to achieve the same VTF. But w... | |
| Graham Phamtom III Reference tonearm Late to this thread. I have both a Phantom Supreme (that began as a Phantom II) and a Phantom III on a Artisan Fidelity SP10R. The Supreme is a 9-in; the III is a 12-in, although I used it as a 9 on a Brinkmann Oasis for 4 or 5 years. And before t... | |
| Opinions on a Grace F8c for a freshy Boron cantilever with Micro-Ridge stylus - LIMITED EDITION $999 Has anybody tried this one? | |
| Would You Rather Own A Good SET Amp, Or A Great Push Pull Amp? If I could one only have one amp, then yes, a great PP, class A, preferably with just one pair of power tubes to keep things pure and simple. Flexibility would rule the decision. But a great SET with the right speakers is a special experience that... | |
| VAC Pre-amp to roll or not to tube roll... In my Phi Beta, predecessor to the Sig IIa, I much prefer the 8416 to any of the many 6922 types I’ve rolled. For the phono, my favs are actually Sovtek 12ax7LPS, the only Sovtek tube I’ve ever liked. They are balanced throughout the spectrum. Tr... | |
| Opinions on a Grace F8c for a freshy I think SS offers 3 levels of Grace replacement styli, but I don’t know if they fit the F8. Even the middle model beat the unused stock stylus on the NIB F9 I bought some years back. These SS styli are a true gift. I use the top OCL on my F14 and... | |
| Outer Vinyl Sleeves, is it a good idea? Were I a serious record collector like @whart and others here, I’d use outer sleeves, too. Truth be told, I don’t have many LPs that are all that valuable in my 1500+ library. Lots that I love but few worth more than maybe $50. I’m fastidious abou... | |
