| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other Yes I think Mike Lavigne has a Japanese table with a really weird name that caught my attention. Not a belt but a sinewy type of rope, no speed correction on the motor, lots of weight and a tangent tracking arm. | |
| Protecting Equipment from Children How about being firm, starting with your own children. Enough games and enough about distractions...........not even half-measures. | |

| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other I am a very big fan of Merrill-Williams turntables. Last time I talked with George, he had a significant upgrade for the latest design which involved a new platter. I use a Tri-Planar on my M.W. and am very pleased. | |

| High Fidelity Sound Speaker Crossovers are not superior they are an intrinsic problem in which success is measured by the least damage done. High sensitivity is also, when are other aspects are equal, superior. Issue at hand is what sacrifices must be made to achieve result... | |
| High Fidelity Sound Speaker Please stop feeding the stray cat! Problem is that you guys are laughing at him which he may perceive as legitimate interest or perverse support. There really are no words which means those of us on this forum should do what exactly? | |
| Better Sounding Systems, Objectivists or Subjectivists? The subjectivists seem less worried about being duped by some unusually clever nasty capitalist. | |
| Rega Planar 3 : Heavily upgraded yet produces a sound that I don't like I would not consider anything by Rega. I think that the lower levels tables are bested by other manufacturers and the higher end tables are miles behind the competition. A friend replaced his RP8 with a 20 year old Townsend Rock and the difference... |
