| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. @earlflynn: Okay, I'll keep it brief ;-)Yeah, Classical CD's can be had for almost nothing, Classical LP's for not much more. The Classical-buying consumer is rapidly disappearing, a dying breed. | |
| What's up with the quality control on MFSL UD1S For anyone wanting to hear what superior LP mastering/plating/stamping can afford, try the two Buddy Holly titles offered by Analogue Productions.

I disagree---that still amounts to adding springs to a turntable with a spring suspension.And that is why I above suggested using a set of the Townshe... | |
| How to isolate turntable from footstep shake or vibration @esputnix: Is your Oracle the Delphi model? If so, does it have the Brooks Berdan mod?Brooks was an expert at turntable suspensions, bringing with him to hi-fi the knowledge he had acquired working in the field of race car design.
