| Rank choice of three turntables It’s about far more than ringing, I think the heavy and solid cast iron platter of my Thorens TD124 was one reason it produced the best bass I ever had, not just inertia for speed stability which is important in belt or idler wheel drive, but sol... | |
| Rank choice of three turntables I love the Acos Lustre GST-801, it is my favorite arm, I wish they made a long version. It is the only one I change both arm height and anti-skate while playing, it is that smooth. The headshell fitting allows a bit of twist when loose to adjust a... | |
| Rank choice of three turntables Actually, it just so happens I have some experience with all 3 brands Micro-Seiki I briefly played with a Micro-Seiki 1000 that was at VAS for customer pickup, picked it up, tapped it here and there, it seems quite solid, impressive, but that’s ... | |
| Rank choice of three turntables You might want to add Luxman PD-444 to your list https://www.audiogon.com/systems/11900 | |
| Rank choice of three turntables I am a big fan of multiple tonearms, and chose the JVC TT81 in a 2 arm JVC CL-P2 plinth, (my research leading me to avoid the TT101 and 801 as too prone to needing service, and too few sources for service). Those large plinths have dust covers, a ... | |
| Score!!! Just Picked up a Pair of "THE best for Beatles" Speakers. What fun, How about some insulation glued or stapled to the inner walls of the enclosure? IF staples, make sure each and every one is secure. | |

| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade mylogic I found the Datum II and IIs silver wire version, it appears they changed the mount from a threaded post and nut below deck to a Jelco Type surface mounted 3 screw base plate, am I correct about that? I prefer removable headshells. The... | |
| Help me build up a jazz album collection. Can you suggest a must have album? I’m assuming you will listen a bit on YouTube before buying someone we recommend, because something like Miles Davis, Bitches Brew is important, but not the 1st Miles Davis you should experience, that is after you know more about him and his music... | |
| Which tubes to buy you can research reliability, customer service, but you need to actually hear them in your equipment/system to know. you can buy both brands from ali-express, just leave them in/on for 60 hrs (no signal needed) to burn them in: listen, keep one, ... | |
| AUDIOGON and REVERB No Protection Reverb was very buyer protective in the two issues I had, both resolved fairly. | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade dover I’ve never seen any Vertere model, that kind of precision is beyond impressive, it’s downright scary. The fit of the posts of the SME, Acos Lustre, JVC-Victor tonearms are all similar: snug, mated, properly aligned while making refined adj... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade mylogic Until you personally experience waiting SEVERAL MINUTES for a very heavy platter to drop into it’s bearing well, you cannot imagine how impressive it is. You mentioned 10 minutes, I am remembering around 6 minutes, just walk away, come ba... | |
| Preamplifier options - seeking help to determine which one My friend, met here, is in love with his DL103 cartridges, he brought two variations here, I was anticipating some unique magic. They were easily bested he had to admit. I know many love them, I just shake my bewildered head, as I do when I come ... | |
| Preamplifier options - seeking help to determine which one ps, The Denon 103R is a spherical stylus, the most basic, dare I say PRIMITIVE shape, with only 25db channel separation at 1khz, which limits it's performance regarding imaging, and has the least life expectancy due to all the forces applied to i... |
