The future of LAMM without Vlad
Does anyone have any idea what Lamm typically charges for repair work? I've got a LP 2.1 deluxe that needs to be looked at.  
Lack of Lamm customer service?
Can anyone comment on the cost of Lamm repair work? I've got a LP 2.1 deluxe that needs to be looked at, and they are unable to give me any sort of estimate. Thanks!  
Opinions/Advice on Eico HF-87?
Hey Stanwal,Thanks for the response.There isn't really any particular reason I am attracted to vintage. It just seems to be a cheaper route to go. Plus it is nice because my tube guy allows me to test out various gear without having to buy it. I h...

Seeking Headphone Reccomendation
Thanks for all the help guys. I am leaning toward trying to get a pair of Sennheiser 600s in the low $200s. Thats too bad that the only way to knock down the bass is through costly construction. I was hoping someone out there would have some cheap... 
Seeking Headphone Reccomendation
Thanks guys, I am going to start a thread over there. Do any of you have any ideas on what I can do to try to seal more sound into my room? Would the carpet padding help at all were I to staple it to the ceiling?Thanks much!

Bicycle Man,Thanks for your insight. I know exactly what you mean about the highs. They have a definite edge to them in my setup right now. The bass has been fine for me, I think mostly in part due to my Forte II speakers. What positions do you ha...

I appreciate the input guys. So it sounds like the 5751s wouldn't really be necessary for me then? I am just trying to figure out what tubes I should try in my Fisher. I am really curious to experiment and see if I can get a better sound than the ...

I am trying to find some tubes to replace the six JJ 12AX7s in my Fisher 400. I am wondering if you guys have any suggestions? They way everyone is talking I might be wise to try some 5751s in there. Any input would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,-...

Overhang for Ortofon 2M Bronze on Rega RB301
Thanks Ekobesky,I actually went ahead and placed an order with my dealer, I figured $500 was a pretty good deal. I will be running it through the Fisher for the time being, but am planning on ordering a Bottlehead Seduction kit soon. I've been tol... 
Overhang for Ortofon 2M Bronze on Rega RB301
I'm strongly considering a 2M Black for my P5. I just had a couple questions. How are these carts with surface noise? I play alot of rock records that are less than audiophile. Also it appears a spacer isn't necessary for this? Lastly would it be ... 
Cart Reccomendation for P5 re: roomate idiocy
So to put a stylus back in place does that involve any alignment or anything, or do you just pop it in there? Sorry, I just have no idea how that process works.
