    Parks Audio Puffin Review: This Bird Drives Me Nuts!

    I used to find listening to records relaxing. Then I bought a Parks Audio Puffin. Now it stresses me out. The problem, you see, is that the Puffin has 500+ possible settings for tweaking the sound. So every time I put on a record, I find myself wondering, "Gee, maybe this would sound even better...

    High output Grado Master3 cartridge.

    As the title reads, I have a HO Grado Master3 that I have been using for about 100-ish hours. My question is, does anyone else have this cart, or any cart from the Timber line, and what do they run them at on the phone stage. It is a moving iron cart. I'm confused if I should be running it on MM...

    Grounding TT with no ground post to new phono preamp

    I was recently gifted a Crosley c200 TT which has a built-in phono preamp. I recently decided to upgrade the built-in preamp by switching to a Hagerman Bugle 3. The new phono stage has a grounding post but the TT does not. I am noticing a small hum when I have the TT connected to the phono...

    SS Phone Preamp

    I am currently using a Pluto U Turn but I know there is better out there. I'd like to get my budget under $250ish new or used. Im thinking I should stay with solid state because it gives a little more low end that my tubes lack. Any suggestions?

    Separate Stereo Phono Preamps – Opinions

    Just found an old phono preamp, which I temporarily used with a Thorens TD 115 (into a Revox a78 and a pair of mighty Elacs) years ago (unfortunately I had to give it all away when I moved). It's a simple, small, old Hama PA-005. I don't really need a preamp right now (and I doubt that it...

    Do I Have A Phono Preamp / Power Amp Mismatch?

    The set-up is this: A series of unfortunate events this afternoon left me without a phono stage which is an unacceptable condition.
