| Well Tempered or Teres ..... Richard, It looks like you're going to be VERY broke. I wouldn't count on that hearse, more like a donkey cart! ;)Steve,I am currently bedeviled by a trace of inner groove distortion. Try as I will I cannot quite eliminate it, despite multiple car... | |
| The importance of azimuth Me three. From the chat on VA it seems like we may be waiting for months. David, I trust AS didn't hit your credit card. I don't think it's even legal for them to charge you before they ship. | |
| Clearaudio turntables I haven't heard one. If I were shopping in that price range I'd also look at the Nottingham Horizon + RB250. | |
| Rega or VPI Jeff, if you hang around here too much your mind will be gone long before your hearing! Enjoy the hunt and come back and tell us how you like the new TT. | |
| Rega or VPI Psychicanimal, I've agreed with you in the past but you're not being helpful today. You've let your dogma overwhelm every other consideration, including the real world experiences of people who've heard the very tables Jdodmead is asking about.You... | |
| Best TT/Arm combo fro $2,000-2,500 Might as well beat Twl to the punch and put in the obligatory nod to a Teres.Teres 150 ($1825) + Origin Live OL1 ($525) = $2350Otherwise I agree with Jimbo3 and 4yanx, and with all who suggest narrowing down your list of cartridges before choosing... | |
| Well Tempered or Teres ..... I have trouble changing the batteries in a flashlight without screwing up, guess I'm electrically challenged. I've never rewired an arm, but lots of others have done the Expressimo rewire so I guess it's doable. Chris Brady is totally swamped at t... | |
| Rega or VPI If you're considering spending up to $1200 on a TT + arm, the Nottingham Horizon + Rega RB250 should be on your short list.The 250 can be modded as/when you choose to at least match the RB600. The Horizon is way better than a Rega table.My $.02. | |
| Well Tempered or Teres ..... In addition to Twl's logical arguments, one of the factors that convinced me of the advantages of dual bearing arms for bass and dynamics was the way I acquired my cartridge. I knew I wanted a Shelter 901. We listen to a lot of large scale classic... | |
| Nottingham Interspace TT/Arm vs Used Linn Lp12 Take 4yanx's advice. I've never heard either of the tables myself, but I'd choose the Nott' over the Linn any day. It's just a better design all the way around.The Innerspace comes with a Rega arm, right? If so then any of the cartridges recommend... | |
| Well Tempered or Teres ..... Richard,I have never heard a WT so I can't comment on them. I can say that if you want black backgrounds and powerful dynamics, a Teres will supply them in spades, especially with the cocobolo base.Do a search for cocobolo + acrylic + Teres and yo... | |
| Gruve Glide I just screwed a hard rubber faucet washer onto the threaded bolt. Makes the handle on that side stick out far enough so you can grab it securely.Come on you guys, do I have to do ALL the thinkin' around here?! :->P.S. No sign of the Wally yet. | |

| Gruve Glide Colitas, YOU ARE HEREBY BANISHED... at least until you wash all your precious vinyl.A GroovMaster (sic) is a doohickey you can buy from a guy on Ebay. It consists of two discs, each with an embedded O-ring slightly larger than a record label. Make... | |
| Shelter 90X? Oh, but it does. Of course it does. Doesn't it? |
