Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms!
Thank you for the info.  I'll definitely check it out.  
Scheu Turntable Importer in US?
Thanks for the info. Figured out what I was doing wrong:  I was using the wrong knob to control the speed.  The toggle goes from center to the left and right.  Putting the toggle to the right is 33RPM.  But the knob on the left controls the speed... 
Memory foam as bass treatment?
Thanks for the suggestion.  Since I don’t need many, I’ll look into the tube traps.   Cheers   Mamoru  
Memory foam as bass treatment?
I really like the GIK products (244 with and without the scatter plate).  I've got 10 in my small room, which I think is 13x14.   Their prices are reasonable.  It's the shiiping that sucked!  
Memory foam as bass treatment?
Thanks, guys.   I did some research after posting (should probably have done that first) and the consensus was that it isn’t too effective.   I have lots of GIK panels but was considering ordering a few more and I have this mattress taking up ... 
Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms!
I see that many are coming to the defense of the reviewers and their rooms, which is fine.  And I agree that you can't really tell how a room sounds simply by the looks of it, but I would argue you can make an educated guess. And I would argue an ... 
Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms!
The way I see it is these reviewers with a large audience, many of whom will use the reviews to make a purchasing decision (hopefully along with more research) owe it to their readers to show them what their work space actually looks like.  Grante... 
Your thoughts on selling
I’ve yet to cull my collection.  Not sure of the numbers, but I’ve got 24 IKEA Lack slots filled with audiophile, imports and WLPs, 30 IKEA Lack of domestic vinyl and 20 1x1.5 feet small boxes filled with vinyl.  How many thousands that ends up be... 
Monstrous power cables
The model is 1000 from Sunny Cable Technologies and retails for $2700. I was going to tear it down to see what was underneath but I think I’ll stop and retake the damn thing.  Crazy price!  
The Best Speakers in the World!
The 601 Series II are not like the 901s.  Rather than nine drivers, the 601S2 has two 8" woofers (one on the front of the enclosure and one atop angled forward) along with four tweeters surrounding the upper 8" driver pointed in various directions... 
The Best Speakers in the World!
Thanks, all.   I’m going to take the woofers out to see how they’re wired. I’ve only seen the MBL stuff in magazines.  If I recall the pricing, they are far too expensive for my budget.  Bet they sound pretty amazing!  
Monstrous power cables
I attempted to put some photos in virtual system. BTW, it is Teflon tape.  The bulk is what I don’t like.  It’s out of the lineup and has been replaced by a generic cable costing much, much less.  
Monstrous power cables
OMG!   So I finally decided to take the tape off of the monstrous cable to see if I could find the maker.  In so doing, I discovered that this cable, which is about the thickness of the center of a toilet paper roll, is wrapped in the following: ... 
Where do you buy your vinyl?
When you talk about “great” vs “ok” recordings, are you referring to the same title released at different times by different labels?  For instance, the original release vs one’s done later by Classic Records, etc? Or are you talking the same musi... 
Old CDs and records
OP, I think your newfound pleasure in vinyl will quickly disappear and you’ll be contemplating getting rid of your physical media again, along with the newly purchased table. Streaming is just so darn convenient!
