Not sure why your concerned about it. 🤔

I was looking at one last year, you talking about this one? http://audio-gd.com/R2R/R11MK2/R11mk2EN.htm

Nice collection. 😎

There's debate on records pressed today vs those from yesteryear's. Maybe the way the original was recorded? Analog vs Digital.

Wondering if I still have it.., gonna have to do an inventory here soon.

OMG ... What da heck? When did prices get this high for a turntable? https://www.techradar.com/news/best-turntables#section-the-best-for-going-pro

Correct. Labeled as a Kenrad. Did yours look like that?

That's for folks who have everything.

Seems like your just having buyers remorse... that's a steep price tag for a turntable.

Did it look like this>?

They're the same socket. Use it.

@bcowen might know some folks

You'll have to do a little research on which parts to replace or upgrade in your machine. If your handy with a soldering iron you can do this on your own. If not find a trustworthy member that can do it for ya.

Why do I want a Psvane now ..

$399!? Wow https://amp.apos.audio/products/apos-ray-vacuum-tube-6sn7-reserve?variant=44335842590956&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAlJKuBhAdEiwAnZb7lS9Ai6qorImTIoytUqxNTf1UwTG1uhQZhc28KHp7WrzKUqCBvJ8fcBoC9akQAvD_BwE

If you find a decent 5998... Cats Meow ..

Awesome, great amp! Your gonna trip out on my latest musical journey here... The Smiths. Late bloomer with that group. I can see Radiohead getting some inspiration from that group.. half if not all the tracks are so sad and gloomy...LOL.

What's happening Slade! Doing good, been hanging around the green thumb threads this whole time. I almost forgot what them tubes were, had to pull them off to look.

Lot of products that seem to do the same thing.

great tube and 65% is very doable, all the way down to 30% imo.

Think electronic dance music... 😁

Do yo have detailed photos of this left gimbal issue ? And are you the original owner?

Holy crap.... well dam. Thanks for sharing. (runs to check his 5998s)

Same here, still rockn them.
