Designing a Plinth
I have been considering a variety of option for plinth making, myself. I would like to go the whole nine yards and do something very elaborate in terms of wood grain matching, inlays, etc., etc.I am thinking of beginning, though, by making a plint... 
"notched" records....what's the story?
Nrchy sez: "Usually they were left over from overpressing LPs that ended up not selling for full price."This is true, and I know Nrchy was not trying to say this, but it does not always mean that the record is the gazillionth one produced from the... 
Shelter 90X?
I guy I know is supposed to going to Japan and picking up one while he is there in a week or so. After his settles in, I will pester him for an audition and posts my impressions. The cartridge has actually been out for awhile.I saw it listed on th... 
Good Phono Pre-Amps...$500 to $1500
Sberger, hard for you to believe, I can understand. But, I would submit, impossible to say without having heard both for yourself. IMHO, it is worth about three times more than three times more than the Dynavector. Believe me, I don't have money t...

$1500 plus shipping was what mine tallied, Dan. I had a few modification requests but I do not know how much that effected things. Given the weak US these days, prices could be higher by now.

Oy! Kevin of K&K is Kevin CARTER - NOT Kevin Case. Kevin Case was a friend of mine in college, though.

I, too, have the K & K and would stack it against any phono stage in the $4K or so range. However, when the poster asked for a phono preamp I thought he meant a pre with a built-in phono stgae. Otherwise I'd have recommended the K&K before... 
Venturing into Vinyl - Phono Stage Questions
I, too, unloaded a moderately priced SACD deck in favor of a $600 Denon which also contains a burner. It is sufficient for the infrequent occasion on which I slide a small one into the tray and I smoke off an LP onto plastic about every third day ...

I see, thanks. Must be an updated sheet, as mine does not include that third ("EQ") line.

Jyprez, can you kindly provide the information or link to where Shleter recommends 47K for the Shleter 501? Thanks 
Best Tonearm match for ZYX Airy 1000X
Cello, I look at it this way. I've now listened to both arms on a few different tables. Frankly, I think both arms are pretty much neck-n-neck. Given that the Graham is an easier and, IMHO, a more accurate setup AND assuming that at some point you...

Actually, to quote J. Geils, first I look at the purse. Of course, a full purse would be essential in considering your doubtful remedy. :-) Toes, however, are secondary.And, absent the purse or not, I'd at least be able to look at my table without... 
ultrasound cleaning?
The contributions of folks like Ogsarg and Mrkidknow who can offer salient and knowledgeable information on a not so well understood process is what makes this site great. Obliged. 
Sell or keep my Turntable
Marco - I wholly respect your opinion and would never flame you just for being misguided. :-)Hey, can I unburden you of those LP's that you'll otherwise have to lug around? :-)

Looking at several of my recent posts, I can confirm that "within" does not mean SPELL CHECK! :-(
