| Increasing hiss in front right speaker It wouldn`t hurt to try this, turn it off then take the cover off, let it warm up again(1/2 hr.) with a pencil tap the tubes, if any are microphonic or make a noise through the speaker that tube could be the problem. | |

| Audio Research LS26 vs. LS17 I had the LS25MKII, and can say the LS26 is in another class altogether. It`s a fact the LS26 beats the Ref2. You will be much closer to the Ref3. The LS26 IS NOT an upgraded LS25, the LS25 cannot be converted to an LS26, no parts are interchangeb... | |

| vpi scoutmaster versus technics unbiased Is not the entire platter part of "the direct drive" motor?, Hence, an awful lot of EMI (electro magnetic interference) swimming around that platter, Oh so close to that expensive magnetic cartridge? You decide.One belt, motor on seperate plinth, ... | |

Radio Shack sold one for about $10, you passed it over a reel of tape to erase it. I threw mine out long ago. If it demagnetizes why wouldn`t it work over Lp`s same as the s... | |
