    Back to the Beginning MM Carts. Charisma V2 Installed.

    I found a great deal on a Innovation with TT3 , after 15 hours of messing with it I got my Benz worn RubyH to play with no stutters or hang ups. My intended destination cart for the arm, an Azule, was mind blowing when it worked, like other worldly, but ultimately could not avoid hang ups...

    Turntable Upgrade advice

    Hi, I think my VPI Classic 3 is due for an upgrade, I'm looking for obviously better sound, but also a tonearm that is much more precise. I will probably buy used, 2 arms are appealing, or easy cartridge swaps. I have extra VPI arm wands but truthfully don't swap them out much because...

    Joining the Giya Family!

    Hi All I recently purchased some used G3's and expect delivery next week. These are dream come true speakers and I cant remember being this excited for a physical object in a long time. It brings me back to my teens where I'd sit in a Barnes&Noble for hours looking through all of the audio...

    Looking for Speaker Upgrade Advice

    Hi, I have been rotating between the Joseph Audio Perspectives and the Revel Gem 1's, I love both, but now I am looking for the next level of bass reproduction and imaging soundstage/dynamics. The Revels image and soundstage well, but are missing some heft, the Josephs can get edgy in the...

    Effect Of Rectifier Tubes on A Phono Preamp's Sound

    I just got some 417a's for my Lamm LP2, I know they should improve on the Amperex 5842 in there now, but I was curious about changing the rectifier tube. I know it converts ac to dc and can limit current in amps, but a phono pre I think would have very low current draw. Anyone hear changes in a...

    Running Springs Audio fans?

    Everybody here seems to be hooked on Shunyata, but after careful comparison RSA was the only brand that didn't take anything positive away from the music. I'm using a Dmitri with HZ, several mongoose on sources and another Hz for the amp. I find they make an amazing improvement, anyone else a...

    General Vinyl Questions

    What is mistracking? My initial impression was skipping, but clearly that is not an issue in this group. It seems to be some type of distortion. Can someone define it , and ways to look for and alleviate it. The other thing is sometimes when I am holding the tonearm I can hear the game...
