| coupling or decoupling of vinyl to/ from platter ReubentIn regard to leather mats, I've been using the moo mat for a couple years & prefer it over the music hall cork mat mentioned above. My table is custom built with a 4" solid aluminum platter. I use a heavy 2 piece weight which was also... | |
| Clearaudio Concept MC My vinyl has never sounded better. I have a dyna Karet (older), a benz L2, a Vandenhul 10, & as mentioned above, a denon dl s1. I prefer it to all of them. I can't say it does everything better than the above carts, but it does very well with ... | |

| Hey guys,time to can your table. All you need is love! I'm not sure what market this was made for. Audiophiles will not buy it & it's too modern for hipsters. | |
| My turntable started distorting, can you assist me? You may want to check the speaker (unless it is ok with another source) & interconnect connections. | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Dweller & Reubent / Thank You | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Umphrey's McGee in Grand Rapids Mi. earlier this month. First time I've seen them & it was an excellent show. Had a great time. Not to be a downer but went there with a good friend of mine who unfortunately died a few days ago. He was an old h... | |
| It is a good idea to purchase a vintage tube pre-amp. I've owned a melos 222 preamp for about 20 years. I had it looked at last year and upgraded some switches, the volume pot, umbilical cord, added an IEC, etc., to great result. Although it's not the level preamp you're looking for, my point is that... | |
| Ceramic Speakers I ran a pair of Lowther PM2C's (ceramic magnet) until about a year ago & upgraded to the rare earth magnet. The ceramic magnet driver is beautiful. Very real sounding (especially with the human voice) but lacks the speed & detail of the ra... | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? I agree that you can get respectable sound on the cheap with digital. About a year ago I put digital back into my system to listen to the hundreds of cd's I bought during the cd craze (& yes I started on the cd addiction before the high end ad... | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? In 1974 when I bought my first album... Grand Funk / We're an american band. I've bought over a thousand since and still listen most every day. I did have a few year's off in the mid 80's when cd's saturated the market. Never realized how good vin... | |
| Changing internal cabling, anyone use Jantzen solid conductor? +1 granny. I rewired my lowther speakers with 20ga duelund solid core (duel runs to both positive & negative) & they are amazing. Top to bottom improvement. Highly recommended. | |
| Do you admit that you ever enjoyed listening to: No, but kind of disappointed you didn't include ABBA :-) | |
| Sophia Electric KT88-ST impressions I also use a KT88 single ended amp. In regard to current production, I really like the Gold Lion reissue. What particularly do you like better about the SE KT88's? I've rolled a lot of tubes in that amp & may be interested in trying the SE as ... | |
| Current production EL34 tubes for vtl mb-125 I haven't rolled a lot of el34's, but did try the new Mullards & have a couple hundred hours on them now. I do like them in a pair of single ended amps. Haven't tried the Tung Sol's so can't say... |
