She's home... 500-B now in-system.

Been there, done that. Those hemp drivers are real hard to light.

I always preferred clear and odorless audio tweaks from Swiss audio-visual engineers... or a Native American religious rite.

P.M.'s 500-B: ad nauseum.

I knew the 500-B's lack of inputs/flexibility compared to the McItosh MA-6100 it's replacing was going to be a problem, so I ordered a little pre-amp (available from TurntableNeedles.com and others) with three line inputs and a phono pre-amp.

Here it is. Well made, looks, works, and sounds great. It even came with little stickers (although I modified SVCD to SACD).

Here's the stack it's controlling: Miracord 50H changer (my 2nd phono need), Yamaha CDC, Denon SACD, Sony HD-FM.

I used to like cleaning the controls with a deoxit-like product from sandoz laborotories.
