| 2 channel Poll: Vote: Do you use Tubes or SS? If I would go for SS I would get Pass X350 or Gamut D200 or Pass Aleph 2 monos but I havn't a budget for those right now and use VTL MB125. | |

| Best all-around cartridge for 500.00 new I too vote for Dynavector 20XL if your phono can drive it. If your phono can't drive it you can get 20XH. They're great rock-n-roll and fussion cartridges.Grado most-likely will hum on Rega. | |

| My Micromega Stage 3 Stopped Producing Sound ...try out using DAC and the digital output of your micromega(btw it has a great transport!) If everything is OK than get some good DAC and use your player as a transport. I bet you didn't pay for your player too much. Besides sending it for a ser... | |
| Helikon run-in groove problem..... I have both Benz M2 and Lyra Helikon. For some reason I do not set up an andtiscating(with cheap RB300!) since on some records with even small flows it will skip. I've got a great practice within the time of using records(since I was 5) to place a... | |
