Lenco owners - arm/cart discussion,suggestions?
The hangar bolt version is what you need. As to what else you need I can only tell you what I'm using. The Mapleshade brass Heavyfeet sit directly atop a 22 x 24" maple platform (from Timbernation). Below this are four double-thickness IsoBlocks (...

Lew, I thought of using the threaded Heavyfeet for leveling the TT but then decided to screw them tightly against the plinth's underside and do the leveling elsewhere. Maybe nothing to worry about, but seeing that gap between the top of the Heavyf...

Audiohifila, here's what I did with a Nantais-built table. Replaced Jean's carriage bolts with Mapleshade Threaded Heavyfeet. Mapleshade has these solid brass footers in stock with the same 3/8 x 16 thread size hangar bolts already attached. Just ...

Mbort, the JMW is clearly superior to the SME III. The real surprise is how good that inexpensive wood arm is. I just wrecked (don't ask) a Soundsmith-retipped DL-103 on the JMW and am now using a Decca Super Gold Mk. VII on it. The DL-103, now ba... 
Lenco owners - arm/cart discussion,suggestions?
I agree that any decent arm should work well with your Lenco. On my two-armed 70-pounder, I'm using an SME IIIs as the "second" arm and switch off between a JMW 10.5 and that 12" cherry wood arm sold here on Audiogon as the "main" arm. The latter ...

More CD Player selection woes
According to a thread here and discussion on AA (sorry I don't know how to link them), all Cary audio players are currently made in China. The Audiogon post said the 306 was made in China and "finished" in the U.S., whatever that means. I can't vo...

You're welcome, Michael (didn't recognize the moniker). Dave

Vinylrowe, you may be interested in this. I heard good things about the Russian 6N1P-EV tubes and although they're not drop-in replacements for the 6922/6DJ8 types used in the Raysonic, they are very similar. I queried Raysonic and they gave me th...

Utter nonsense, Ebuzz. Reminds me of the dealer in the Southwest who supposedly sold Raysonics, bad-mouthed the player to me before I bought mine, and didn't even have one to begin with, according to the distributor I called. You might check the d...

For what it's worth, the Raysonics have paralleled XLR and RCA outputs. I much preferred vinyl too until getting the Raysonic; now CD and vinyl get virtually equal time.
