Thanks so much guys!

Good news! I found a highly recommended shop about 25 minutes away from where I live. I'll be dropping the amp next thursday for a major restauration. Very happy to be able to revive such a nice piece of equipment.

Wow, thanks so much for your replies guys! I think I got the answer I was looking for and won't be risking it on this amp. My soldering skills are very minimal and I don't really have the time, tools and talent to get this project to where it needs to go. I will be inquiring for good shops in...

Hey guys! Complete tube noob here. I was given said amp and you'll see from pictures that it's need of some TLC. I've never heard these amps or any tube amp for that matter, apart from the tubes in my hybrid AVM 5.2t integrated. My questions are: 1) If I send the unit to an audio shop...

Thanks KDAC, indeed I often get lost in the sweet spot... Glad you resussicated your fiber optics lamp!!!

#44576 here Thanks for the info, beatcomber

Got a Ruby NCL installed on mine from Sound Smith... astonishing!!!

Great job Neevo, enjoy to the fullest!

...and I thought the Micro Seiki MA-707 looked good on my KD550 :idea:

IMHO, that is one very very good looking turntable. I agree with what Mr. Pig said îîî

My main rig is in my sig and what i'd like to eventually upgrade is my amp to a McIntosh, get rid of the CD player for a transport only, upgrade to the phono pre and get some sort of HD player to replace JRiver on my MacBook. I'm turning 53 next month.

I'm sorry but this last post of yours kind of destroys 5 pages of "legitimate" questioning you seemed to have about BR's business purpose, unless your post is TIC...

I think that's your best bet if you want to keep it original looking... And be prepared to get thrown off the couch when you lower this newly retipped beauty in the grooves! Well worth the wait.

It's your choice, really. In my case, I sent them the whole cartridge because I wanted to keep the original stylus/cantilever holder (lime green) and have the cartridge tested as well since it's 30+ y/o. Like they said, the issue with a 30 y/o cartridge is not so much stylus (diamond) wear but...

All right, my "new" Grace F9E is finally installed. First, let me emphasize about Soundsmith's great service. The cartridge came back in even better packaging than what I initially sent it in. Also, they included a complete written tutorial on stylus cleaning, cartridge installation and...

Yes it is.

Weird, mine doesn't (same setup) How do you know?

It's finally home!!! Before I install it, I thought I'd provide you guys with an "exclusive" picture of this piece of art! So, here is my newly "Ruby cantilever with Optimized Contour Nude Contact Line" retipped Grace F9e from Sound-Smith!

Cool, thanks! Can't wait to get mine!

Cartridge still in transit... My guess is it's stuck at Canada Customs...
