| best phono preamps? TRON Syren pre/phono or TRON Seven phono only stage. Top class build and sound from a Boutique english designer. Jeff at Highwater Sound in NYC is the US distributor.Charlie | |
| Decca London Gold cartridge nightmare I agree with the others. The Deccas work in unipivots best. I've got two Deccas - a Maroon and an original Garrott Brothers Gold rebuild - sublime! I've been using deccas since the late 1970s in a Hadcock and then later in a Schroeder Model 2.Sinc... | |
| Help me get back to vinyl ZYX RS50 Bloom and the Cambridge 640P phono stage. The Rega arm will handle the ZYX without any problems. If you want sound staging at that price, that's where I would put my money.Charlie | |

Garrott Brothers rebuild of my Decca Gold cart in the 1980s - unbelievable in those days - vivid and it tracked without trashing your LPs.Now, it has to be my Avantgarde Duos, which I bought five years ago - stunning and completely changed my syst... | |

| How Many Turntables Have You Owned SEVEN in total - Technics SL-B20, Thorens TD160B, TD124/II x2, TD125/II, Logic DM101 and now my Platine Verdier. | |
| Best Glue for LP cover seams? Any contact adhesive is fine - Uhu, Evostick anything like that. A layer on each surface, leave to part dry and then put together. Works every time and doesn't require any need to clamp up the cover.Charlie | |
| Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions I bought mine a year ago. I've been setting up turntables since the late 1970s. The Feickert is just great - the easiest protractor I've used.Charlie | |
| HELP Horns, Stats or Conventional Speakers Go for the Avantgarde Unos. I own a pair of Duos and they're the best upgrade I've made in thirty years of hi-fi. Just be prepared to be patient with set-up. Oh and they will be ruthless in exposing any shortcomings elsewhere in your system.Charlie | |
| Where are you today? Been with valves and vinyl since the late 70s. Moved to Avantgarde Horns a few years ago - best upgrade ever. Next best was my TRON tube pre-amp - now if only I could stretch to a new TRON power amp - that would then be it.Charlie | |
| What is the BEST phono stage Try the TRON Seven. If you want a tube phono stage, this is great. |
