| Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed! That dude at Cruchfield is full of it. Return it. I’ve had 5 or 6 1200s, never had this problem. Even after dragging them to gigs repeatedly for 20+ years. Get your money back. | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! I grew up in Thousand Oaks. Do you mean to tell me the goldmine of digging was under my nose? 10,000 or so records later? That’s much easier than digging through rat poop and mold in old basements around the globe. | |
| Disappointment with Pass Labs - I'm looking for something else Ditch the Cornwalls | |

| Finally found THE SPEAKER!!! I want to hear these!My first job out of college was working at Danetracks, if you know them or Dane. | |
| Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change? Ditch the Lumin and get a turntable? | |
| I Just Inherited 4,000 LPs Sorry to hear about your friend. He was definitely a great one if he left you those gifts, the most precious thing in life is music! | |
| FR64/66s Arm Rest repair? Took an entire day fishing a broken piece of steel out of a 2mm cavity, but alas it was done and its been repaired DIY. But knowing, just knowing that the arm rest now sits a mere 6mm shorter than was originally designed will eat away at my soul. ... | |
| Mystery rack Wow that's fantastic, thanks so much both of you! | |
| Mystery rack @oldhvymec Yes exactly! The modularity is attractive to me, similar to a USM Haller approach, although would fill the pipes with sand. The planes could be anything, but I’m interested in the joints. | |
| Mystery rack @grinnell That was the plan, or thick acrylic. It’s mostly the metal frame/joints I’m interested in. |
