Audio Research PH3 SE - Shelter 501 II compatibili Radio Shack should have 500 ohm resistors. I would recommend trying out different values and decide what works best on your system.

Kuzma Stogi Reference vs. Nottingham Hypersapce I'm not sure purchasing one of the two tables you mentioned would be a upgrade from your current turntable/tonearm set up. If I were your shoes, I would keep SME V arm and look for a table that mates well with SME V(one you own). How are you using... | |
VPI 19 MK III , which L/O cartridge? I have exact same table/arm combination for 2nd system. I have used a whole lot of different MC cartridges from $200 to $3500 range. For most bang for bucks, I would recommend Shelter 501mkII, Benz Glider 2, Benz L2(or M2). If you have a budget ov... | |
