The quest for the hot stamper or is it a myth
ATDAITTADMN.All the damn acronyms in this thread are driving me nuts. 
What is the fascination?
Cleeds. Here is the  thread about building great turntable at a low cost.Notice that this is the second thread about building cheap TT. The first had already gone viral.https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/building-high-end-tables-cheap-at-home-... 
What is the fascination?
Nor am I dissing older models. I've had many of them in my sixty years of spinning vinyl. But I've been here a long time and remember the turning point. If someone is willing to do the refurb on an older table then they will save some money 
What is the fascination?
Imo, $$$. The whole craze started when a post went viral about making a great TT for$100 spent at Home Despot. One yr later a 50 dollar TT sold for$4-500. Now that$100 is selling for many thousands of dollars. So it must be good... Right?First it ... 
Theta Miles CD player
WOW! Didn't expect to run across this thread. I don't get around here much anymore. But I've considered investing in a new CDP, mainly because my Miles is getting old. I've had it around 18 yrs and it still sounds good to me. I've considered a use... 
Butcher BLock Acoustics under turntable
I have used 4" maple under my ScoutMaster when I had it. I prefer a sandbox. I have one under my Teres now. Having done a lot of experiment with footers, etc, mostly under my cdp, I can tell you that the material makes a difference in the sound. I... 
New Vinyl
If you are a Skynyrd fan the Analog Productions reissues are very good. All the original Skynyrd pressings I have are flat sounding. I have the 45 Gimme Back My Bullets & 33 Nuthin' Fancy. Both sound excellent. I suspect the rest are just as g... 
What Type Belt Are You Using
You may be familiar with this thread from way back. I’ve been using this for years on my Tereshttps://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/upgrade-for-users-of-1-2-mylar-belt?highlight=holographic%2Bb...The thread was started by Doug Deacon. Does anyone... 
Please evaluate my system...
Tim, I know the 103 has been all the rage for the last decade. But can it REALLY compete with better & more expensive cartridges? Some....maybe. But I doubt it will compete with the better Benz or Zyx or Lyra, etc. I had the Scoutmaster and fo... 
Sub Woofer for Golden Ear Technolgy Triton 5
Sumiko S-9 or S-10. They are a Rel clone and ideal for music IMO. Integration is great and will make your main speaker sound bigger. I bought 2 S-10's from Paragon. They are on close out due to dropping the Sumiko name for Sonus Faber in the next ... 
Anyone running a Sumiko S-10 subwoofer for music? Impressions? How about Hsu ULS-15?
@ttocs I now have 2 of the Sumiko S-10's. Fantastic subs. Goes deeper than my Rel Storm 3 which was a great sub in its day. I too had a hum which I had to overcome. I found the fix on Rels website. It was not the cable coax in my system. I can tel... 
Finally bought my subwoofers...Sumiko S-10
Thanks for the chicken head knob idea. My Rel Storm had course & fine adjustments on the crossover points. You could get the exact same point using that system. the round knobs make it more difficult. I suspect they are put on with a set screw... 
Finally bought my subwoofers...Sumiko S-10
Wolf. The speakon cable is a different animal for sure. I had trouble with a hum at first. But it didn’t sound like a ground loop because it increase in volume with a volume increase of the sub. I finally found the fix on the Rel site. They sugges... 
Isolation stands: snakeoil?
I have not experimented with my TT isolation since it is a mass loaded TT which weighs about 120 lbs. For it, I borrowed Chris Brady's design which includes a sandbox at the top with legs filled with concrete which makes for a dead surface upon wh... 
Anyone running a Sumiko S-10 subwoofer for music? Impressions? How about Hsu ULS-15?
@ttocsWelcome  to the forum. Thanks for the info on the Sumiko S-10. FWIW, i have ordered the S-10 which should arrive Monday. Afterwards I will try to give my impressions
