| Music lovers only, sub woofer Some of my favorite pieces for deep bass are of the kind of music you say you favor. Tracy Chapman, Bruce Cockburn, among others. I frankly can't fathom not having a speaker system incable of flat response to 22 hz or lower. My main system now inc... | |
| Folk/Rock choices that are well recorded America - their first and self-titled album. Amazing acoustic guitar, songs, recording . . . This is one I recently re-discovered. I had it in college (I recall it came out the same time as Neil Young's "Harvest". I recently picked it up on vinyl ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? America - their first, self-titled album. I had this album when it was first released in the early 70's. I sold it while in college because I had worn it out. I recently purchased a copy at my local used record store. This is such a good album, an... | |
| Jackson Browne's new CD I just bought it . . . I agree, it's great. It's a must-have for anyone who likes, or at one time liked Jackson Brown. | |
| Unplugging amp while it is still on, damage? Power goes out all of the time at my home and I've yet to have a problem. That's effectively the same as unplugging it. I suppose something could happen, but I doubt it did unless there's something very unique about your amp. Loud thumps are prett... | |
| Tonearm Repair shops thanks Nrchy - I have a call into Audioquest to see if they have a center, or if they will refer me to someone. Their web site has no mention of service or repair, and tonearms aren't really a big deal for them anymore. I'm waiting for their retur... | |
| How to pack - a primer . . . well here's my 2 bits.Sorry if it's overboard, but I'm a little fanatical about my packaging. I've never had an item I packaged damaged in transit. Of the several items I've purchased which arrived damaged, I would bet they would not have be... | |
| Cartridge Tacking Problems - Help please Update - the problem is solved. It turns out that the horizontal bearing was binding up, and I'm pretty sure it was from damping fluid contamination. I mounted up my new cartridge this morning and the problem had become worse than ever. It wouldn'... | |
| Cartridge Tacking Problems - Help please thanks Fatparrot . . . interesting point, on which I'm a little ignorant, but I thought the suspension is in the stylus assemble (which is brand new). At least as I look at mine, the only moving parts are in the stylus asm. Am I way off on this?In... | |
| Cartridge Tacking Problems - Help please thanks everyone . . . there are a number of suggestions I need to followup on here. I'll be out of town this week so they's need to wait til next weekend. I have given thought to a new arm, not sure if the RB300 is my first choice or not. There ar... | |
| Cartridge Tacking Problems - Help please Thanks, I set the VTF force multiple times alternating between using a Shure tracking force guage, and also using the built in scale (which I also calibrated with the Shure).I'm not sure what cartrige rubber boot suspension is. The cartrige is fro... | |
| Mark Knopfler Recommendations pretty much everything he's done is worth having (although I don't have everything). My favorite solo efforts in order are Sailing to Philadelphia; Goldenheart; Ragpicker's Dream.Soundtracks I like are Cal, and Princess Bride - though these are mu... | |
| Any Pink Triangle experts who can help me? This is all really helpful, thanks for the input Phil. Your description sounds like perhaps the motor noise I hear is what you described on yours. To me it's a normal motor "whirring" sound, except I've never heard the motor on any turntable. It i... | |
| Any Pink Triangle experts who can help me? thanks Phil, mine does have the wall-wart. It's a 12V basic, no brand name, made in China supply. I'm not even sure it's the original. The other guy who has the same table has a PS that's voltage switchable. He said the info he received with his (... | |
| Any Pink Triangle experts who can help me? thanks, mine is working, and as far as I can tell the saphire is uncracked. The motor is audibe however, and while it's not so noisy I can hear it from more than 2 ft from the table, any audible noise is unacceptable for a TT as far as I'm concern... |
