| Somehow I've got myself a "WTF" dilema with my newly setup Turntable. HELP! Time to run the isolation drill: First, Make sure your ground lead from the table (and arm, if applicable) is firmly secured to the ground terminal and that that ground terminal is secured to your mains (most phono sections do this internally). ... | |
| Singers do not sing the language they speak Franco Mussida (lead vocals) and the rest of PFM. Italian in early versions and English in later. I've heard that the lyrics aren't even remotely similar, but have no way to know. That all changed with the Chocolate Kings / Jet Lag releases. | |

| Need help adding outdoor speakers to current setup As far as I can tell from their Website, it's not possible. You only have 1 set of speaker outputs and the unit does not have an external processor loop that would allow you to drive a second amplifier. Maybe someone else here knows more about t... | |

| Your last concert was to see who and when? King Crimson, Cleveland 11/24/17. A totally awesome show. Last saw them in 1982 at their first US gig after releasing Discipline. Fripp and Levin have lost none of their chops. 3 drummers didn't hurt a bit, either. The hall was the Hard Rock R... | |
| VPI vs. SOTA I'm a fan of SOTA and have gotten great service and results out of my Sapphire. Sapphires pop up used here and other places for ~$1K and you can get a great second-hand arm like a Graham 2, Micro Seki or similar with VTA on the fly for another ~$... | |

| Is going from McIntosh C712 to C46 worth it? With an MC2102, I think you would find the C50 to be a major improvement over the C712 and especially if you are into vinyl. The tone controls are excellent and the design is outstanding. The built-in DAC goes up to 32 bit / 192 kHz PCM and all ... | |
