    What turntables do you use? Pictures would be nice as well :-)

    Fantastic Vinyl machines. I am impressed. I've never seen this combination before. I can think of other combinations. The Vivid arms are really made for this. In terms of design, Tidal and Phonolab are virtually talking to each other. groovemaster

    Analog Walks... On my walks through the analog world, I keep discovering unexpected things that inspire me. Here it is the SME 20 record player with an SME 12 inch tonearm. Of course, such gems need an equal in the phono section. The owner decided for Audiospecials Phonolab 1.5 in the...

    Something special from the senventies and eighties. RUSSCO STUDIO PRO. My "Hot Rod" .The working horse in the Broadcast stations. I equipped it with the Ortofon AS-212 tonearm. This one matches much better, optically and in function, than the wooden Micro Track arms we find normally. This is...

    A VPI ARIES 3, long sought but the wait was worth it. A lucky new owner. With the original tonearm it looks just perfect. On the left is the matching AS Phonolab 1.0 Phonostage, which has just been added. Johnny Hartmann sounds like he is sitting in front of me.

    AS Phonolab dual phono preamp

    "Less is more". This is what the AS Community has in common with its Audiospecials AS Phono amplifiers. For many, this is one of the reasons to buy, so as not to get lost in the sea of buttons. The front is puristically tidy. Only the two rotary knobs of the RECOMPIZER for dynamic optimisation...

    AS Phonolab dual phono preamp

    By the way, the AS Community also stands for Analog Spirit. Everyone is welcome, as long as they can contribute something interesting and enrich the topic of phono amplifiers for vinyl fans. Here is a nice set-up with a Technics turntable in a very elegant USM rack. The Technics is well...

    AS community members like to send me photos of their analog beauties, which are put together with a lot of expertise. That's where the sense of beautiful combinations comes in. Here is a Kondo fan, Feickert turntable combined with Glanz tonearm and AS Phonolab 1.5 balanced phono stage from...

    Oh, Bergmann. I love this beauties. The Bergmann turntables are very popular in our community. A clear, unmistakable line. The sound qualities: Very musical, involving and without technical airs and graces. Here is a member from Norway who has also decided in favour of the AS Phonolab...

    A Transrotor Super Seven. With SME Arm 3009 II Improved. The pictures were sent to me by community member Björn from Denmark. The Transrotor is from 1993, an heirloom from his father, a watchmaker with a great sense for good design and precision. What was still missing was a phono stage...

    A Linn LP12 is quite rightly an icon of turntable design. I often think of a Porsche 911, whose original basic form has been guarded by its designers through all the decades and at the same time transformed into the future in a modern way. The history of the Linn LP12 has strong parallels. It...

    @Keyplayer. The Kuzma drives feature a fantastic wooden design. These plinths are Wooden Art. Hard to find a matching Phonostage. The AS Phonolab with RECOMPIZER is a perfect match with its reduced form. Here you can see two Sorane tonearms on the KUZMA. Groovemaster

    What always inspires me spontaneously are phonostage-recordplayer combinations that form a perfect unit both, sonically and visually. The AS Phonolab from www.audiospecials.de is such a phonostage that sonically complements the REED Muse 1c as a musical partner. Hifi components are like band...
