| Weight, Clamp or stabilizer? The best lightweight clamp with chucking lock arround the spindle is Orsonic. The silver panel on top act like a button to open chucking lock. It's cheapPractically i don’t like clamps with lock, i prefer just weight (always). | |
| Weight, Clamp or stabilizer? I'm trying to get it to produce the best sound its capable of. I plan to order a set of SVS subwoofer feet to replace the worn feet .... I read an article about TT tweaks. A few things they suggested were an upgraded mat, clamp and isolation ... | |
| New Technics vs. old If you own SP-10 mkIII in a good working order then you don't need any new Technics turntable. I think with SP-10 mkII nobody needs new GR. For the price of G or GAE there are so many absolutely amazing vintage Direct Drive turntables and tonearms... | |
| Grace Level ll Lately I’ve been listening to a B&O MMC1 that I bought several years ago in NOS condition. It has a hollow sapphire tube cantilever and a line contact stylus. Tracks at 1.0 gm. It’s a moving iron type. After only a few hours, it’s brilliant.... | |

| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. @sleepwalker65 my 3 kids, ages 18, 20 and 23 despise rap as much as I do. They like many formats, but genuinely love Rock. I would rather listen to good music on crappy system than some crap on high-end system. I don’t care about Rock. This is no... | |
| Beautiful Vicoustic's flagship Wavewood panels for room tretment. Anyone? I ended up with Vixagon Premium FS panels for my side walls, this is the most attractive design of absorbers i have ever seen. So i slighlty changed the project, because i do care about interior design in my listening room. I made a special order ... | |
| Why According to some Turntable extremists Pitch Control and Direct Drive is Sacrilege? Let me put it this way ... my PD444 sounded like hollow... well accuracy if you like. In other words, digital. And actually its seeming dynamics sounded more like just sheer power not real dynamics, e.g. music really, just power. All in all, its... | |
| Why According to some Turntable extremists Pitch Control and Direct Drive is Sacrilege? You really , really , really should read , then comprehend BEFORE you reply. Where did I say or give the idea I was all about belted tables or cheap plastic stuff. Why are you so demeaning to anyone who points out there are other choices besides w... | |

| JVC MC1 Moving Coil Cartridge - Heritage? Ok, we're talking about high-end products released under the Victor Laboratory brand, actually a high quality stuff, but made 40 years ago. Victor tonearms and cartridges is what i like a lot, buy my experience is much wider with MM. Personally, i... | |
| Does anything better Jelco arm ~$1000 Currently listed my NOS (unused) complete set of Victor UA-7045 in original box for sale, rubber grommet is perfect (original), see how it looks. I will keep my longer version (UA-7082) for myself. Both are identical, except for the length. And to... | |
| Why According to some Turntable extremists Pitch Control and Direct Drive is Sacrilege? @has2be You really should get use to adding to your Japanese DD obsession diatribes with the caveat...."in your opinion"...not everyone does or is required to be that narrow of mind and sight to enjoy their music , played back their way. I don’t... | |
| How do tell when my stylus is too much worn? Some styli must be replaced not after 500hrs, but after 200-300 hrs max, it is all depends on the stylus profile (conical or elliptical dies fast). There is no universal rules for all stylus profiles. Diamonds are not alike, look here. I have orig... |
