@daveyf  HI and thank you for your reply!  I will certainly look into the Tramp 2 more :)  Years ago, I did use a nice lightweight table that worked very well.  However, as I am now aging, trying to bend down or kneel, etc to cue the cartridge... ...

Best cost no object tube phono
@rsf507 If I remember correctly, Scott had said that the price for the Wavestream Kinetics Deluxe Phono Amp has remained the same since 2013 at roughly $9000. This is just another testament to the great character of Scott Franklin... to keep the p...

Anyone Know Where I should Look to Figure Out This Hum?
So sorry to revive an older thread, but am curious about two things....1.  Were you able to solve the hum/buzz problem?  Was it the fridge, the wiring from an older house, bad capacitor, etc.  Are you still using the cheater plug as the fix?2.  I ...
