| Tonearm for vintage mm cartridges That Shure has a very high compliance of 30x10 and weighs 6.6 grams. You will need a tonearm with an effective mass of 6 grams or lower. Here is a calculation chart you can use before you make a decision on the arm that you get! http://www.mh-aud... | |
| 60db gain 100 ohm load phono pre You should be able to get a used Sutherland KC Vibe for about 500 bucks. It has all the adjustments (60db gain and 100 ohm) that you are looking for! https://sutherlandengineering.com/products/kc-vibe/ | |

| Integrated vs. Separates on a Budget You should list these things before any realistic recommendation! 1. What speakers are you using? 2. What size is your room? 3. Do you want tubes or SS? 4. New or used? 5. What features do you need? | |
| Not manufactured any more. @jasonbourne52 Outstanding! I wonder what the DQ10 would cost if it was produced today? I paid about a grand for a new pair back around 1979! | |
| Not manufactured any more. Dahlquist DQ 10. I owned them many moons ago! | |
| Selling off Tubes for Solid State, A Cooler Love Story? Another option is Van Alstine. You can return it if you don’t like it! My friend changed from a tube Rogue Audio amp and is totally satisfied!! https://avahifi.com/collections/solid-state-power-amplifiers | |
| Ok to substitute 12AX7 for 5751 tubes in CJ Amp? @ oldhvymec The 12BH7 is a sub for a 12AU7 not a 12AX7! The 12BH7 requires no circuit modification to substitute for a 12AU7, but the plate resistance is a little lower (5300 vs 7700). Thus, even though it has a lower u (or amplification factor)... | |

| A decent integrated amp under 2K ... Preamp tubes should not restrict you in choosing an integrated amp! Small signal tubes with numbers like 12AX7, 12AU7, and 6922, and rectifier tubes like 5AR4 may go 10,000 hours. So you get years and years of enjoyment. | |
| Would you sell for cash? @dill +1 "Remember you will have PayPal fees too. I guess I really don’t understand what you are afraid of. Your asking price is only $1500 and are going to take an offer. No shipping worries either. I just don’t get your position." | |

| Phono Preamp upgrade My friend uses the Sutherland KC Vibe with a low output Dynavector MC. I doubt you would go wrong with the Vibe. BTW, you can get a used one for about $600.00 or less! | |
