| Wow an old album that rocked your world @uberwaltz I'd recommend getting the MFSL one-step. I hate paying stupid money for records, but I think it's worth every penny. | |
| have you ever bought stereo without listening first I've been disappointed more often buying something that I heard in person. In two cases that spring to mind, I was in a hifi store just browsing around and heard something that caught my ear and seemed like a great deal. I didn't do any research... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Mazzy Star - Seasons of Your Day | |
| MHDT Orchid TUBE ROLLING I just used an Allen wrench. I don't know which one it was. It was the one that fit. | |

| New TT for ~$1500 My comments are based on my ownership of the Clearaudio Emotion, which by all accounts is basically the same as the Marantz TT-15S1 with a different plinth and feet. Some things to consider. There's no dust cover. That may or may not be an issu... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Alice Phoebe Lou - Live at Funkhaus, Qobuz Hi-Res | |

| What are you streaming tonight? I've had Radio Paradise on for a good chunk of the day, now I'm listening to The Who at 50 on Qobuz. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw I'm happy for the moment, but there's always that itch to eke out a little more sound quality! | |
