| Technics SP10 MK3 Restoration Is a Technics SP10-MK III in an appropriate plinth well restored better than a Woodsong Garrard 301?Better or worse, nah it’s subjective of course, they’re just different. | |
| Technics SP10 MK3 Restoration Russ at Layers Of Beauty is excellent and priced better than most. I built a 2 arm panzerholz plinth with the drain etc for my SP10 MK3 (also dialed by JP) and when I needed advice Russ was a truly great guy and helped me. The panzer cost me about... | |
| Three cheers for Keith Herron I’m addicted to what the VTPH2A gas brought to my system! Lovely guy in all my communication with him, so nice to hear this story! | |
| Types of speakers to create nightclub style sound? Ignore the Klipsch suggestions. And tbh F1 sucks at midrange. Martin Audio, L Acoustics, D&B Audioteknik, Danley… or just go with JBL. | |

| klipshorn speakers Heard a lot of people’s Klipschorns, in a lot of different rooms, even in 4 corners and even stacked, and been impressed maybe twice. It’s one of those speakers that posers buy for the name and don’t dial them in well. Shouty and piercing more tim... | |

| Dolby Atmos - is it for Audiophiles? Been to all the pro demos, heard in a few environments. It’s just simply not good for music. It’s a theatre effect at best and a gimmick at worst. | |
| Herron VTPH-2A discontinued @bpoletti No I have the 2A actually! It’s not urgent or even necessary, just putting it out there in case someone picked up a 2nd hand unit w/ silver face but preferred black. | |
| Blindfold Speaker testing Same. | |
| Herron VTPH-2A discontinued Longshot here, but are there any forum member that own a VTPH with a silver faceplate that might want to trade me for my black faceplate? I was lucky enough to find another unit (after reluctantly selling my first earlier this year) and the price ... | |

| Vinyl...should I stay, or should I go? Of you have over 500 records I’d say sort it out. If you’re not too invested in your collection then maybe move on. One thing to realize though is that streaming doesn’t pay artists. | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! Townshend Pods under my TT (thanks for the tip @millercarbon ) and the difference is quite noticeable. I have another TT with the AT-636 as feet and (even though that plinth is much less mass) I feel that TT picks up more vibration and occasional ... | |
| Arrangement of components on rack Is the current configuration with longer interconnects the better approach?Nope, no need to change anything. I have my TT, phono stage, preamp and DAC in one rack with the TT sprung. Then 20' XLR into wall, under floor across to my amps and speake... |
