| Phono preamp or SUT for low output moving coil I have horn tweeters, and horn mids, and they would reveal any hiss or hum, I have none happily. The FRT-4 SUT has zero hum in my system. IF you know you will stick with a single arm, with removable headshells for optional pre-mounted cartridges,... | |
| Phono preamp or SUT for low output moving coil I’m no expert, but I got help here and learned enough to avoid mistakes. Phono, anything phono, if possible get return option, it’s a world of ’preferred, not better’, no way of truly knowing how something will sound in your system except by tria... | |

| What devices have you found useful when inspecting your stylii for cleanliness? lak, interesting, but the max is only 3.5x, and getting the right distance to the object is important, not to mention, viewing the underside which is why a magnifying mirror works well. | |
| What devices have you found useful when inspecting your stylii for cleanliness? lewm, guilty, I knew it at the time about the stylus, but safely seeing while cleaning the stylus is important.

I check when I turn the system on, while warming up: check, typically ok, or brush a speck of dust, or maybe if I see something more stylus cleaning fluid with it's cap brush. Or, you hear s... | |
| What devices have you found useful when inspecting your stylii for cleanliness? I keep a small 20x magnifying mirror loose on the deck below my cartridge, no need to remove the headshell or cartridge or stylus. The arm remains locked in the rest, you simply rotate/tilt the mirror this way and that for any view I just found... | |
