    Marc Henshall commented on the post, Best Speakers for Vinyl Records – Affordable Options in 2025 2 months, 2 weeks ago

    Have you tried swapping over the cables and seeing if the problem moves speaker? If it does, this may suggest a problem at the amp. The best way with these things is a process of elimination to try and narrow down […]

    I used to buy the MoFi sleeves and I like them (I have a MoFi turntable which is why I tried them), I have also tried VSS and others and by far the best (as they have a thicker sleeve) is VSS. They are also a […]
