    My concern is all the different sanitizers being used in copious amounts around the world, what effect will that have on the environment?

    Need help with a Sony TTS-3000 turntable and a Rabco sl-8 arm

    Some model as this one? https://www.vinylengine.com/library/rabco/sl-8e.shtml You can download the instruction and service manual from the link but you would need to register first. But I agree with what fredeb suggested, if you're in GP then either Mike (fdlsys) or Dewald (ghostinthemachine)...

    Thoughts on a new preamplifier

    If you're looking for something with tubes I have a Cary Audio cad 5500s that I might part with.

    Power conditioner for my system

    Interesting.. :thinking: Would something like this be effective at blocking DC leakage in the mains?

    Please help with TT whine.

    Have they tried disconnecting the earth wire? I have had a couple of turntables which would hum loudly with the earth wire connected but dead quiet with it disconnected.

    Vintage Audio Kit - Members' Pics

    Yes that's the one. I'm still looking for a decent vintage Yamaha cdp but the Philips is doing just fine for now, especially when I have it hooked up to my Theta dac and Cary "cd processor".

    Vintage Audio Kit - Members' Pics

    Testing testing.. The Yamaha C-4 arrived last week, still need to give it a good scrub but couldn't resist.. Hooked it up to the big M-2 power amplifier and it is sounding pretty darn good thus far.  :2thumbs: I currently have the NS-100M speakers connected to them but will be running the FX-3's...

    STD Turntable

    From what I have read about STD turntables I would say it is definitely worth getting if the price is right, I have never owned one myself but they are apparently comparable (or better, depending who you ask) to Sondeks from the same period. Mercury you can get from old thermometers.  :thumbs:

    problem : advice on ATN3711 stylus purchased

    If I'm not mistaken the owner of said business is also a member here.. Unless there is another dealer in Pta east I'm not aware of? I've done quite a bit of business with them in the past but your experience will make me think twice about doing business with them again.

    EL34 Choices

    Back when I still had my PrimaLuna I used new production Mesa Boogie EL34 str-447 valves in it and they sounded really good to my ears, even better than some older valves I tried.
