| Help me decide on first turntable purchase I would add VPI to your list. Of the ones you mentioned, I would go for the Mofi Ultradeck. I had a Music Hall 7.1 and it is a pretty decent table with good isolation and a good arm for the price point. I've never had the chance to do any serio... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? My other copy of More Songs About Buildings and Food. This one's nice! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Jethro Tull - Stand Up, this is a 1973 Chrysalis reissue. The Steven Wilson remix sounds a lot more dynamic and the instruments seem to have better separation. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Brian, the price was right, beggars can't be choosers, gift horses, and all that stuff. I'm not sure if I already have a decent copy in my collection, I'll have to look. This Vanessa Fernandez album is 45 RPM so I have to get up about every 10 min... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Okay, enough beat up records for today. Vanessa Fernandez - When the Levee Breaks. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Hendrix - Band of Gypsies. This one's going in the trash. Sad. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Steve, some of these records are filthy. I literally sprayed them off in the sink and scrubbed them with a sponge before putting them on the VPI 16.5. Joel, there's some cool stuff, but most of it is VG at best, still fun to listen to. I put the S... | |
| Dual SVS PB-1000 Pro versus Dual Rythmik LV12F- does Servo Technology Matter. A good sub will work well for either home theater or music. What might be "good enough" for most home theaters might not be good enough for both however. Then again, there are folks that take their home theater systems to pretty extreme levels wh... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Sugarloaf S/T is queued up from the free box after a shower and a cleaning. | |
| Dual SVS PB-1000 Pro versus Dual Rythmik LV12F- does Servo Technology Matter. Using a home audio receiver isn't what I would consider "serious listening", but to answer your question, you won't go wrong either way. I have 4 subs in my main system, 2 are Rythmik, 2 are SVS. They're both great subs.I have 2 small systems in... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Santana - S/T, one of two copies in the free box. A little bit of surface noise, but it plays surprisingly well given the visual condition. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Com Truise - In Decay | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? That's awesome Jim! I'm playing the second record of the Coltrane compilation I mentioned yesterday. | |
| adding multiple subwoofers As long as your goal isn't to make people's bowels quiver when you play Deadmau5, you should notice a great improvement with the subs mentioned. I have 4 subs in my system and send the full signal to my mains. You didn't mention the size of your... | |
| MM Cartridge Recommendation The Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood is closer to your budget and a very nice cartridge and will work well with your table. And yes, it is easy to snap off the cantilever, so be careful. I like the sound of the Virtuoso better than the MP-500, which I a... |
