How do i tell if i have a failed tube in my preamp?
Just changed cables from left to right on pre.Problem still in same channel.Now i have isolated it to left mono block amp. I guess I'll open it up and check the caps and grounds before sending out for sevice.It has had a slight hum for awhile but ... 
Record weights
I have one one in use on my linn lp 12.I don't think i can ever go without it.In terms of cost it puts many cartridges to shame without it.I feel from my experience/opinion it is without a doubt a 200.00 steel compared to a high dollar mc cartridg...

stylus choice for v-15 type iv
The cantliever is broken so i bought a grado statement.Mabe it's its me but it seems the v15 was way more fun.I passed up the jico sas because it was 160.00 now it is over 300.00.My delima is new stylus vs a newer cartridge. RW

Any reason i can't use a single run of my older monster cable with a 3.5 to rca adapter?I t can go to the xtra coax plug on my ps dac.This would suffice until i choose type of gear i need/want in the future.It all changes so fast.Thanks everyone.RW
