| Burn Twetter Speaker not saying it isn’t your amp, however some tweeters burn out too easily. The beloved Dynaudio D21 was OEM Tweeter for the JSE Infinite Slope Model II’s. I got mine used with burnt tweeters, replaced them with Dynaudio 21’s. Every party my teenag... | |

| Looking for more advice on purchasing a new turntable. "along with the prima Luna phone stage" please give us the model number so we know it's capabilities. .................................

| Solid State Preamp to replace tube unit I can’t contribute re: SS for a main system, I prefer tubes. I did have a Tandberg Receiver that I liked a lot, I mishandled it’s input jacks, and replaced it with my one and only Yamaha piece: Receiver CR-1040, sounds darn good and feature full. ... | |
| suggestions for new phono stage A different approach is to go for a vintage tube preamp with phono, get all the advantages of it’s sound and features for all sources as well as phono, and if needed, add a SUT for LOMC. I bought this MX110z model and had Audio Classics overhaul ... | |

| New cartridge ideas... When I consider buying a used cartridge, perhaps broken cantilever, I send the listing to Steve at VAS, based on his years of re-building, he advises me which ones to avoid, perhaps he could help you shorten your list before you zero in on something | |

| How do you add remote control to a preamp, here's how. You could use the preamp’s tape loop, or processor loop if it has one: then you can select inputs on the preamp, use the preamp’s features, simply use the new device as remote attenuation, and you can instantly compare: listen with it in-line via... | |
| The Jico SAS/B Stylus VN 5 MR To my eyes, the MSL and Lyra are frighteningly sharp, the Ortofon Asymetrical offends my sense of balance, the Soundsmith and Sonic Lab give me most confidence, and at it's price, as you say, the contact portion of the Jico seems to be the best va... | |
| The Jico SAS/B Stylus VN 5 MR mijostyn OP "The Jico diamond is not near the highest quality. It is full of contamination (so bad it won’t pass light) which will increase the rate of wear." I'm not defending Jico, but I am assuming their claims are essentially true. Jico spe... | |
| The Jico SAS/B Stylus VN 5 MR search ’headshell weight’, options exist to make the headshell end heavier, thus use ’too large’ counterweight another solution, if your’s is removable, it to use a heavier headshell with a lighter cartridge some headshells have adjustable azimu... | |
| SUT Demo - Atlanta A Low Output Moving Coil cartridge (by virtue of it’s smaller/lighter parts) can improve LP sound, not the SUT. A SUT is not even supposed to reveal it’s existence. They are PASSIVE, no power involved. Regarding Imaging, my MC cartridges’ channel... | |
| The Jico SAS/B Stylus VN 5 MR lewm "Typically companies give a single data point for separation at 1kHz, where for most cartridges separation is maximal. ... Anyway, that single data point is almost meaningless." Quite meaningful when revealing what amount of maximum separa... |
