AR ES-1 Transport Bolt Needed

AR ES-1 Transport Bolt Needed
Thanks for all the input. I bought that TT new in '77? I have shipped and received many TT's over the years. Thanks for the heads up. I got the transport bolt in my long time stash of hardware.

Music Hall MMF 5 Arm Change?
  That is a bit too stringent for me. I'm not looking to get rid of the rigs that I have. Idle gear in the loft should go and not to keep acquiring.  There is no TV in the living room nor the bedroom. I have a 22"monitor in my tiny den and a 14" t... 
Music Hall MMF 5 Arm Change?
I have full rigs in three rooms. A Cayin in the living room, a Creek destiny in the den and a creek Evo in the bed room. I also have about ten TT's of various quality and state of repair. For now, an Ar ES-1 bought new by me in '76?, tricked out a... 
Music Hall MMF 5 Arm Change?
  Yup, I have the RB300 already. Ok I see that the P3 is the way to go. I will start my quest to acquire today. Will this set up have the room to work with the Expressimo, old AT lift etc? I really like the convenience of an end of record lift. Th... 
Music Hall MMF 5 Arm Change?

The best books on music
 I must throw"Life" by Keith Richards into the mix. Interesting, wild and really funny in parts. Richards, the riff master,  is smart, articulate and well read man with a Rock N' Roll resume like no other. A DVD  called "Under The Influence" which...

Phono Pre?
So, it seems that so far the Bottlehead Seduction is the phono pre of choice. I'm 60 and have been into this hobby since the early 60's and always have been a SS guy. The tube phone pre intrigues me though. I have several SS integrateds that I lis... 
Looking to get into tubes?
Thanks for all of your opinions. I am still undecided weather or not to take the plunge though. I think that all the fussing and tube Hi-Fi minutia might make me crazier than my present state. We ARE all crazy here anyway, aren't we? Cheers 
Looking to get into tubes?
OK, please tell me about tube cost, availability,resources, how long do they last, tube matching, tube rolling-compatability, break-in? These things are still unknown to me and I feel are important since Solid State is just essentially plug in &a... 
Looking to get into tubes?
The PrimaLuna & Cayin look like very interesting units. Any more companies and models that you guys prefer? It is always preferable to have a good selection of models from which to choose. Thanks for all of your feedback and any more to come a...
