| How to eliminate TT feedback/vibration Better yet, try a set of 'moon gel' pads. Very inexpensive at $6. You can find them at most musicians stores. They are used by drummers to stop vibration. The pad's color is blue, each pad about one inch square. I've used these under tables and sp... | |
| speaker banana plugs Bare wire will work better then any termination method. Also, to improve the sound try to 'tin' the ends with silver solder. | |
| Denon DP-47f turntable; Denon DL-80 cartridge You have truly 'scored'. I have and have had many of the 47F's, which I always give away to my kids as they are the best way to get them interested in vinyl. I have found the best cartridge to be the Denon 160.

| Turntable suggestions for novice... Used Denon 47F. Denon 160 cartridge. I know, it is an automatic, but you come to cover the repeat feature. Oh, almost forgot, only buy one where you can pick it up. Otherwise, you are wasting your money. These do not ship well even with the origin... | |
| First tube integrated amp Best way is the Cayin line. Prim and Cayin are in fact made by the same company. check out the full cayin line a cayinusa. Buy used, on 'gon' and get a great value. I have two of their integrates and a pre too. Very satisfied. | |

| Opinions on Townsend Rock 3 Turntable? Perhaps you should start with a Crosley Radio Revolution before thinking about Townsend. | |
| XA5400es for redbook CDs The improvement comes mostly from the better platform of the 5400 which reduces the jitter, including a super clock. Great machine. | |
| Allison Speakers - Modern Kentucky Company A better choice would be the 'RA Labs' speakers that were marketed direct, but long gone. They were Allison designed and I believe sourced out of Italy. Great sound, great values. They come up often on the 'gon' and ebay. I use a pair of the cente... | |
| Analog tube amp/pre-amp for home theater use? Look at the Cayin/VAS line, great sound, great value. |
