| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? I'm sure that is what we were told by the Luxman rep; that Teac manufactured the motors to Luxman's specifications. Having said that, I am not sure that it is true. For some reason the owners frowned upon sales folks disassembling expensive gear... | |
| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? His prices are high, but where else you can buy a MINT condition unit from 1981 if only 100 made. Even if his prices are too high the units on his site are still better than most of the new turntables at the same price. And his vintage turntables ... | |
| Phono Preamp suggestions between either Gold Note PH-10 or Whest TWO.2 No questions, I have different phono stages, some are better than Gold Note, but not for every cartridge. I don’t like all those micro switches on the back, I remember iPhono 2 with similar options. JLTi mk4 and mk5 is nice little box with optiona... | |

| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? Even €20k for a limited edition high-end DD made in 1981 (~100 units) is better than ungly modern belt drive junk I see on the market today for higher price! | |
| Naim introduce a turntable - the Solstice Special Edition Awful (in my opinion), like typical mainstream “high-end” nowadays. Those designers are from the same school? | |
| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? How about this mega rare ONKYO PX-100M ? It was 500 000 Yen in 1981 and only about 100 units made. One available now for 19 900 EURO here in mint condition :) I think it’s one of the most beautiful DD turntables. Gunmetal platter and excellent des... | |
| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? I like LUX PD-444 because it's so easy to swap tonearms and adjust them. Battle between high mass and light mass tonearms on the same turntable is fascinating. This week my low compliance Miyajima (Edison) MC is next to recently unboxed high compl... | |
| How many vinyl albums do you own you listen to? My system is 100% analog since the 90s, I sold all my CDs more than 20 years ago. Since 1998 I was a co-owner of the record store for DJs and went on my own with another record section in two different locations in downtown. It was not the best ti... | |
| Phono Preamp suggestions between either Gold Note PH-10 or Whest TWO.2 Maybe you should pull out all your recommendations on ancient outdated cartridges for the OP also.... @mr_m where do you see any recommendations for any cartridges from me in this thread ? Do you own and use what you recommended in this thread or ... | |
| Phono Preamp suggestions between either Gold Note PH-10 or Whest TWO.2 Search audiogon, one of our members became a whest fan after gold note, the whest is more expensive. The goal of Gold Note is usability (one rotary knob to control everything on a display) and flexibility (so many different settings). Also two ind... | |

| Putting together turntable rig There is no such thing as new/old stock in cartridges. All the materials used for suspensions harden over time by drying out or oxidation.No, and you just repeat a fairy-tale promoted by re-tippers who charge money for making a Frankenstains out o... | |
| Flux HiFI Electronic Stylus Cleaner Are you listening on a concert level when you are at home? Your turntable placed infront of the speaker? Your room is too small? What airborne vibration are you talking about? I do not use dustcovers on any of my 6 turntables. |
