I used the term overhang to describe the distance between pivot point and center of the spindle (I.E.) overhang adjustment.If the original poster purchases one of the three mirrored alignment tools I suggested and puts the stylus tip on "that" cen... | |
| Please help me buy an iPod Agree with both posters above, if this not a Christmas gift and you're not in a rush, you can make your iPod buy at Ebay. I bought a black 30 GB iPod video with cradle, earphones and all accessories for $151.00. The seller seems to have an unlimit... | |
| Cartridge alignment - Goldmund T5 tangential arm ? Van den Hul, Ortofon and Wally tractor all make mirrored alignment tools with center line indicated. For tangential arms like yours, overhang is achieved when the stylus is set exactly on "that" line all the way across the record.The mirror surfac... | |
| Albert Porter's Lenco Avguygeorge, a rim drive turntable that was reasonably popular in the 60's and 70's. They may be found reasonably priced (or not) at Ebay and garage sales. There is an entire thread on the topic, the most popular is Here | |
| Re Issue vs Re Re Issue Tony would often be at a French Bistro a block away from where i worked. Sometimes in the afternoon you could hear him and Bill at the piano bar for the price of a drink. Good grief! I'm jealous.A perfect example of some of the benefit of living i... | |
| Albert Porter's Lenco Build one man, if I can do it you can too :^). | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Zaikes, Looks like Johnson's, "Talkin' About Chicago" (1999) is on Delmark, typically a great label with "Music to My Ears" (1995) being his album last on the Hi label.Which one are you referring to, or better yet, which is your favorite? | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 First of all, Raul wanted me to listen to the Essential, not do a comparison between it and my Aesthetix. We disconnected both of the Aesthetix units and set up the Essential before our listening session. Aesthetix has been my reference for 7 year... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Zaikes, your mention of Carmen McRae -- Carmen Sings Monk reminded me how long it's been since I last played this. An absolutely AMAZING piece of music, I'm going to pull it out enough from the stack to remind me to spin it next time the system is... | |
| Naim ? I wanted one of these but couldn't remember the Naim when I went into the store. | |
| Re Issue vs Re Re Issue I agree with Narrod and Hdm. I have literally tens of dozens of OJC releases, both with and without bar codes. I have quite a few of the Contemporary label releases that preceded the OJC's and they are wonderful. Some of the second series Contempo... | |

| Anyone else experiencing the rude highend retailer If you go to a fine restaurant, jeweller, clothing store or car dealership then you will often meet this same behavior.The fancy restaurant remark reminds me of the movie, "The Jerk."You live here? Oh, it's nice. Did you decorate it? Navin R. Joh... | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 BTW, I'm also interested in perspective on the new Wavestream Kinetics PS that has gotten some recent attention here. Evidently, the Analogue Room has replaced their Aesthetix Io with it as their reference. I have not heard that piece but have hig... |
