Vintage Turntable: AR Es-1 vs Denon DP-60L
I own a vintage Denon DD table and have it mated to a Denon DL-301MKII cart and it is a wonderful performing/sounding rig in my system. It's been re-capped with quality gear and I expect another 20 years from it.I know many audiophiles that swear ... 
Lp storage - location?
Sorry - I of course meant to say we have a dehumidifier in the summer! 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Well said Lewm - that IC is the achilles heel!Until then we enjoy!! 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
NO!! Those of us who choose to buy vintage gear know the risks and if that is living dangerously...then so be it.I purchased a mint 1 owner Denon DP-45F Direct Drive TT - locally in my home city. So I avoided the potential pitfalls of shipping a T...

Richard,It sure sounds like you love music with so much selection both in lp form and cd.First of all, in my opinion, is you need to settle out a couple of things - 1) is budget and 2) functionality.What I mean, is a fully manual table okay, or do... 
AR the Turntable - worth it?
Thanks for the feedback everyone! Much appreciated.George,Yea, I already have communicated with Dave just to see if he ships to Canada.Keep me posted on your AR table - what model is it, or should I say what model did it start out to be?Thanks,cat9

Vintage TT - looking to add one - recommendations?
A buddy in Australia just bought that same TT and absolutely loves it. They do perform very well. As stated, my DP-45F mated to the DL301MKII is a lovely sounding combo.Enjoy your TT.cat9 
Vintage TT - looking to add one - recommendations?
Yes Lewm - I understand that might give some a bit of a thought process, however I don't know what the budget is yet. I do realize that the "sky's the limit" so to speak. As stated, an upgrade in sonics (if you will) is important. I don't just wan...

Thanks Tobb,Not sure if newer means better but my iMac is only 7 months old (better transport maybe?). But you're correct, I'll never put mine through that kind of work-out. I've only converted about 325 cd's so far and don't see myself going much... 
Comet Supply stop selling carts????
Yea I know - I meant 301, not 310!!I have been informed that you need to be logged into your account to access the Denon stuff. It was not always that way - it used to be you could see the cart section by simply going on their main site.I logged i...

Just to finish this off - The set up is up and running in the family room. It sounds better then I anticipated. Speakers usually sound different in your room verses the store and the MA's are filling the room nicely with very nice detail for the p...

Hey Realremo,Yes I can because the Hi-Fi joint I'm purchasing the Denon receiver from carries both lines. The price point is higher with the 685's and so far the feedback I have received from a few that have owned both products is that for the mon...
