| Looking for guidance with older VPI HW-19 tables I really appreciate everyone's response. I'm still in exploratory mode right now, but the HW-19 Mk 4 is on my radar. The big unknown is how I'll mount the Hadcock. It has an unusual pivot to stylus distance of 228 mm. Most 9" arms are 222. If I go... | |

| Rega tonearm for Microseiki table? Russ, The question is whether your RB250 will fit in the mounting hole and meet Rega's geometry. The RB250 is 239.5 mm long. Your current arm is 214 mm. That's a difference of 25.5 mm (or 1 full inch). The more important measurement is the distanc... | |
| Rega tonearm for Microseiki table? Double check the model of your Micro Seiki. I can't find any reference to an ML-18. Vinyl Engine usually has the spec sheet. I need to know the effective length of the stock tonearm. Some Micro arms are interchangeable with RB250 and RB300. Check ... | |
| What are your suggestions for a pre-amp? I'm an advocate of tubes. To my ears, they sound more realistic than SS. Manley Shrimp would be at the top of my list. If you need a phono stage and remote, Quicksilver Full Function Preamp would be an excellent choice. | |
| Which tonearm wire I've done the Incognito rewire. It's a well-designed kit and it sounds great, but it's a bit overpriced in my opinion. A cheaper option that uses the same wire is sold by the same fellow who makes the Incognito: Cardas Tone Arm Rewire Service. You... | |

I just purchased a Soundsmith retipped 103R potted in an ebony body. The retip is ruby cantilever with a nude contact line diamond. It probably won't be th... | |

You'll find all sorts of unbelievable bargains like Bugle Boys for $30/pair, but you won't get any guarantee they're usable. If it sounds too good to be t... | |

| Best budget phono preamp for Unison Unico? Hi Rebbi, I assume you built your Seduction with stock parts. The C4S upgrade is significant. Great that you're getting it. If you send me your address offline, I'll send you a pair of 0.1 uF Russian teflon FT-3's that you can use for input caps. ... |
