| Linn Basik LV-X vs. Grace 707 I had a Grace 707 in my hands for about a minute, but it was missing the fixing collar and I returned it back to the seller. I have a working Basik LV-X mounted at the moment with a Dynavector 10x5. I checked the overhang with a Geodisc and the te... | |
| Achromat Well, since the stock felt mat is pretty thin and I'm working with a suspended TT, I ended up ordering the 3mm Achromat. Less tinkering. I have a nonefelt/speed mat on my other turntable that I'll be able to swap for some comparison. | |
| Bearing oil for LP-12 Linn only sells their black oil at this time. They recommended velocite #6 (a Mobil product) but so far I can only find it in a 1 gallon size. | |
| Best reasonable Phono preamp for Marantz TT15SI Music Direct seems to like to pair up the Simaudio with the Marantz TT. | |

| correct zerostat technique This may be a very obvious suggestion, but I've found that running a humidifier in the room helps reduce the static charge. I also use a VPI cleaning machine and a Zerostat, but those dry winter months really add to the static problem. | |
| Michell Technoarm vs Origin Live Silver vs ??? I also recently posted a query re: the OL Silver vs. the Technoarm (sorry, folks!).How does the Audioquest PT-9 stack up against these arms? I would be mounting on a Linn LP-12. | |
| Cartridges for Grace 707 The Shure M97xe is a possiblity.....Ideally I'd like to find a V15.Which model of ADC cart? Thanks :) | |
| Turntables New vs Used I'm searching for info on my Yamaha P-550 Direct Drive Turntable. Any owners/users out there? This is a pretty old TT, but seems solid and still operates. Does this unit compare with any of the current production "budget" units?I'm trying to decid... |
