Amazon Model two turntable?
I love mine. I had quite a few turntables before I finally settled on the Amazon with the Moerch UP4 (now DP6). I compared it to an Orbe/SME IV, a decked out LP12/ittok and a Rekokut idler with an SME 309. To my ear, the Amazon sounded the best. M... 
A $300-$400 turntable tweak
My experience with clamps is that when I use my TTWeights Classic, I get noticeably better sound I think because the flatter records creates a more consistant azimuth, right? I lusted after the VPI center weight and when I got it it made my turnta... 
Moerch Tonearm Users... alignment question.
Moerch's method is to line the sylus tip to the leading edge of the head of the arm and then check the overhang with a ruler between the spindle and the tip. There's a lot of gray area in it all. I ordered the Mint and I'll report back. 
Moerch Tonearm Users... alignment question.
Well at least I don't have to worry about S2P because that's set accurately at the factory. Did either of you try the Moerch method first or did you just go with the MintLP right away? I'm curious if you found the Moerch method to be off. I emaile...

Stand out phono stages
Sorry, it's an Art Audio Vinyl One. 
New favorite VINYL Album?
Kind of a gothic/folk record from the Current 93 school. Really sad but stunningly beautiful and the sound is killer. 
Stand out phono stages
I'm extremely happy with mine. I had Joe Fratus do the updates last year and that made it a little more transparent which works well with my system. 
Arm Suggestions For Lyra Helikon
I just bought an SME 309 for under $1k, which is more in keeping with my budget. Can't wait to try it out. I've read many people liking this combo. I had a IV on another table and loved it a year ago but couldn't stretch right now... 
The best acoustic guitar recordings??
Awesome sounding solo guitar lp. 
Revamp Garrard 301, keep Oracle V or move along?
Well I have the ESLs and an Art Audio Vinyl One phono stage and I'm using a LP12 which I just dropped a Roksan Nima on and it's awesome... so I'd suggest to you an LP12 with and a Naim Aro arm (the Nima is a low cost knock off of the Aro,) they ar... 
Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57?
My LP12 was outta wack. I had an overhaul and setup done and now things have gone back to the way they were. Thanks to everyone for all the info. I'm going to try out a Bedini and maybe the Red Wine Audio amps for fun! 
Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57?
It does sound like maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree. Maybe it's a front end issue. I have heard the JC1's sound great with Quads but they are out of my price range unfortunately....Thanks! 
How many use Vintage Hi-Fi systems?
I use vintage speakers (Quad ESLs) and an early LP12 which is kinda vintage, right? Everything else is modern. 
Looking for the king of mini monitors under $1500
I think the most versatile monitor I've ever heard is the Revel M20 (not the new M22.) Plays all kinds of music well. Folk singers in the room with accurate timbre, to rappers with pounding base....
