| Tone Arm Lifter I also use Little Fwend on my 1200G. It works great and is easy to install and adjust. I first had the Tru Lift, it was very finicky. | |
| What would you save in a fire? "Misplaced blame. The voters voted to build more Reservoirs 8 yrs ago. They were never built nor were the existing ones maintained with water. I don't think the fire chiefs are responsible for that." I have lived in No. CA since the mid '60s. CA ... | |
| Qualified service technicians disappearing! Recommendations wanted Several years ago, Audio Classics refurbished my C-26 preamp. They did an excellent job and I got it back in about 6 weeks. | |
| SL-1200 G Power cable Agreed. I had to prop up one side of my G with a stack of books to get the cables properly seated. | |
| Phono cable for SL-1200G I also use Silnote for my 1200G. | |

| Modwright PH 9.0X Tube Rolling Question Contact Kristen at Modwright, she has a list of recommended NOS tubes. I settled on a Amperex Bugleboy 5AR4 and a 1950's Mullard 5AR4. Brent Jessee and Vintage Tube Services are two good sources. | |

| Modwright Phono stage power supply ugrade I also did it. I only had the preamp for a month before I did the upgrade, so I really can't comment on changes in the sound. I upgraded the umbilical to a Triode Wire Labs cable. I think MW was recommending WyWires, but they were too pricey for m... | |
| What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good. Do a search for AG member, jjss49. Look at his thread "dacs that I have had in my system - a listing". I am unable to attach the link at this time | |
| Covers for racks to keep dust off? I have amplifier covers made to order by radiodustcovers.com. Excellent quality and reasonable. Stan can even embroider the logo if wanted. | |
| Seeking Budget CD Player Suggestions I have owned NAD CDP's in the past and always found them to have a nice smooth analog type sound. They are reasonably priced, usually with Wolfson or Burr Brown DAC's. | |
| Credenza or media stand for hiding away equipment I had mine built by a cabinet maker. The first shelf is open for the integrated amp. The rest of the shelves (adjustable) are hidden behind a door with a perforated black panel. |
