    Cool Hi, I'm Neil Thegratefuldad

    Hi,
    I'm Neil Thegratefuldad
    I'm from the US, New York State
    I'm 69 years old.
    Been into audio since approx 1968.
    I've been more or less a mid-fi guy.
    I have gone through several iterations of equipment over the decades.
    Currently, my setup includes some old/ancient and kind of new pieces.
    example
    Aragon 4004 MK2 power amp, Aragon 24k sp pre, Aragon 47k phono pre,
    Prima Luna Dialogue Premium HP power amp, Schiit Audio Bifrost 2 dac, Topping D90 dac,
    SingXer SA1 HP amp, SOTM sms-200 Ultra Neo streamer, PI2AES, Orchard Audio PecanPi Dac.. VPI HW19JR turntable and a recently acquired Heybrook TT2 turntable. ancient VPI HW17 lp cleaning machine, Merlin TSM-MXE speakers, JTR Sub-woofer along with many many, headphones and IEMs (too many).
    I hate to look into 'the closet' various 'vintage speakers'.
    That's about it. Getting back into vinyl lately since getting the Heybrook TT2.
    Attempting to see if 'SHane' is still around. I have a question about finding compatible suspension coil springs for Heybrook TT2 turntable. Will Linn or Thorens coil springs work?
    Trying to get a bit more 'bounce' in the TT2 suspension. It bounces but wondering if new springs will increase it.

    “Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”
