| Reason for buying old/classic turntables Sorry Normansize.That's just plain incorrect.With all due respect to your dad, you don't have a clue.Yes, some of the vintage tables were built well but today's best tables are simply superior.Using your words I say to you " HA, ha, ha, ha, ha ha ... | |
| Reason for buying old/classic turntables >>There is no reason a TT from forty years ago shouldn't sound as good as a table built today.<<Wrong.Computers and sophisticated manufacturing techniques enable components to be built to far tighter tolerances.Not to mention that some... | |

| VTF on a Dynavector 10x5 In most tonearms that cartridge performs best between 2.1g and 2.2g IMO.I wouldn't recommend going over as coil damage may result; besides, properly aligned there is no reason to exceed 2.2g.Don't forget, most vinyl damage is the result of insuffi... | |
| Class D question............... You'll find responses across the board not only for Class D but all amplifier topologies.An amplifier's peformance is largely a function of the speaker paired with it. Use the answers you read here as a guideline but certainly listen for yourself ... | |
| Help Me Justify Recent MMF7 purchase The MMF-7 is a high value plug and play table. It's a good start for those entering or returning to vinyl.That being said, few people keep them for an extended period.The next move is upgrade or back to digital as their only source.You will lose l... | |
