I love the stealth look - makes my recently purchased Nima look like a clunker! Lots of good information here, including manual, video and review: https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/ ... m.1088949/

I wholeheartedly agree with Satrus regarding Ultrasonic cleaning. I could never find a satisfactory way to clean vinyl until I invested in an Ultrasonic machine - I fill it with 5 parts distilled water to one part white vinegar. Some of my 70s vinyl was close to unplayable, now almost as new. I neve...

Would you sell just the speakers? Hi Paul, I was a bit optimistic trying to sell speakers, turntable and amp together, so yes I would. if I piece them out, it would be Heybrooks 300, Townshend 250 and Marantz 200.

I prefer a preamp to sound as transparent as possible I'd agree with HiFiFan, I'm a bit of a detail freak. I've already bought what I think will be my last pre-amp - a passive from Music First -the Classic V2. Yes, the pot is effectively a series of switches which are a bit clunky to operate, no, t...

If only! :)
