| SME turntables I like the SME Arms, and have never had any issues with setup - the 312S which is my preferred arm have some azimuth adjustment because of the removable head shell. I do agree that VTA adjustment is "clunky" however its not a setting I change on... | |
| Is Vinyl Worth It Zavato,Tubes are no better than transistors or the other way around. A solid-state amplifier does not have to be "digital" as Freedriver erroneously suggest in his "smurky" post above, which makes it kinda funny. Good listening,Peter | |
| Yamaha A-S3000 - any experiences? Had a AS2100 through here a few months back, it was astoundingly good for its price. Did not try the Phono stage but if as good as the rest of the amp I would not worry.For a low impedance MC cartridge the difference between 50 Ohm and 100 Ohm lo... | |
| Paint crack Wilson Sophia 2 This can happen to any object glued together, what happening is that the two cabinet parts expand/contract differently from heat and or moisture. The effect of this is that the paint will show hairline cracks. It has nothing to do with lack of q... | |
| Is Vinyl Worth It Freedriver obviously is misinformed about how a solid-state amplifier works. He must think that a solid-state amplifier per definition has to be "digital". Perhaps we should give him some time to study the subject carefully, then comment, as t... | |
| Ok, a bit early- what's on your audio wish list for 2016? "GrooveMastering" the Technics SP10MK3 :-) Just picked up one, looking forward to working on it.http://pbnaudio.com/audio-components/audio-turntables/groovemaster/groovemaster-vintage-directGood ListeningPeter | |
| Anyone know how to bias output tubes (using built in meter) on a Stereo Knight M-40 (Int. Amp)? Maybe if you post a picture somewhere the amp could be identified Best of LuckPeter | |
| Discharging power capacitors Depends on the Voltage - if a tubed amplifier you should be EXTREMELY careful - voltages inside are lethal - always work with one hand in your pocket. But as described above use a bleeder resistor - 1Mohm definitely if a tubed Amplifier , a SS wi... | |
| What do you think is the best make volume control ?? ALPS NOBLE ???? Mofi,Potentiometer only the TKD clearly is the best choice, both I mention above is stepped attenionators.Good Listening Peter | |
| What do you think is the best make volume control ?? ALPS NOBLE ???? Manual only the DACT - can be remotely controlled but it's clunky 😄 Fully remote controable the Bent - nothing comes remotely close to above they sound very similar as they use the same topology and surface mount resistors.DACT is only 24 steps s... | |

| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Lewm or HalcroOne of you mentioned a thin leather mat made in Japan, could you post a link to it please ?Thanks in advancePeter | |
| 12" Tonearms for TD-124 Have run both above arms with the Denon DL103R the combination is stellar.Good ListeningPeter | |
| 12" Tonearms for TD-124 Ortofon RS 309D is a wonderful 12" arm. On a budget the Jelco SA750L is a fantastic buy too. The Ortofon is made for them by Jelco btw.Good ListeningPeter | |
| New format, dislike..... Its growing on me, but how come one can't upload a picture, that should have been included with the "update" a pictures worth 1000 Words, don't you know :-)Good ListeningPeter |
