| Aries 1 JWM 10 Tonearm replacement or upgrades? I have the same setup, I wouldn't trade it for anything. VTA much easier than the newer versions too. Let me know if you do change it out, I would be interested in your JMW10. | |
| Factory checkup just before selling... What difference does it make? As long as the seller provides a bill of sale, you now have a product just serviced. I would take that over another one that hasn't been serviced recently. | |
| How good is your hearing ? And how do you know ? Count me in as a 10% er too. Raced my 911 for 14 years. I would have to disagree that 90% don't drive their Porsche fast, but do agree that most don't know how. | |
| Who has made a move and did you let movers take Hi-Fi If at all possible, move it yourself. Most these movers are gorillas and don't get paid enough to care. I rented a U Haul to make my move from NY to SC. Nobody cares the way you do. | |

| McIntosh MR78 tuner repair Ralph, thanks for your good recommendations. Actually just dusty on the inside of the glass. Not sure about the filter capacitors but I'll take a look while I'm in there. No noise while tuning but probably wouldn't hurt to Deoxit the bearings also... | |
| McIntosh MR78 tuner repair Perfect! Thanks for the link Kmccarty. | |
| High End cartridges and the built quality What Whatthe said.How do we know that any styli magnified to that degree will look much the same, or not. | |
| Sound Advice: 'Cost no object' on audio gear? And many wonder why more don't get into high end audio. All they have to do is read that article, and then move on to this thread.Who are we to determine who is an audiophile and who isn't qualified to be? Just saying. | |
