| Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers? Jbhiller-Regrettably , I concur with the linked reviews.I just refuse to get off the "classic rock"bus. I view any new band now, as simply a weak/bad cover of what was.IMO- if there is room for R&R to progress,It's NOT thru GVF. Almost cringe... | |

| Help- Review on Phono Stage Do a general web search. Heres one.https://www.whathifi.com/pro-ject/tubebox-se/reviewMaybe not the latest iteration, but it should give you perspective.Its a $400 unit. If you have an entry level table, and want to hear what the fuss is all about... | |
| Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers? Read an article on Robert Plant, and he mentions GVF, as a current band he likes.I listened, and they didn't hold my attention. Perhaps if I were 16, and never heard Zeppelin or ANY "classic" hard rock , I would have a different reaction?Definite... | |

| VPI Turntable repair And VPI didn't offer ANY solution?Even if it's an older, most companies advise what are possible/practicle options. No mention of them having an arm available?VPI is typically great with support.Great excuse to now move up the turntable food chain. | |
| Help me decide on phono preamp Another vote for the $129 Schiit Mani.Used one as a backup while my $2500 unit was being serviced. Smart buying used. Find something less than half retail.Only concern buying used is no warranty. Your max stretched a little, something like a tubed... |
