| dust protection for turntables It is OUTRAGEOUS that these expensive Turntables are sold without dust Protection. Shamefull! | |
| Do you build anything for your high fidelity system? If so, what do you make? I for one would like to see MORE PHOTOS of some of this cool stuff!!!!! It's very easy to post photos (create a system) here. doesn't need to be anything more than what you want to show. delete/add photos at any time https://systems.audiogon.com... | |
| Do you build anything for your high fidelity system? If so, what do you make? I wanted a surround/stand for my McIntosh mx110z Tube Preamp. Not the old walnut case. Research, correspondence with McIntosh about vintage enclosures, ended up developing a unit in 3 optional heights and several optional finishes. Ventilated, R... | |

| New or old Thorens? I bought Acos Lustre GST-801 based on advice here, it is amazing, and this looks like a terrific opportunity, I’m tempted to make an offer to have a spare https://reverb.com/item/53590531-acos-lustre-gst-801-tonearm Unique magnetic tracki... | |
| New or old Thorens? You could put a different height adjustable/removable headshell arm on your TD125, this Acos Lustre CST-1 is highly respected and of great value https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/plenty/other-audio/high-end-sound-acos-lustre-gst-1-soundtracer-t... | |
| New or old Thorens? I would go for a new turntable, but not limit it to Thorens. I always want a removable headshell for various cartridges, you have several. Or a table that allows 2 tonearms. I squished a 3rd arm on mine, see 8th photo here: https://systems.au... | |
| May you help speakers amps Find out what your speakers are producing. Go forth with that knowledge. FINALLY, after all these years, I bought myself a sound pressure meter, $20. Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/BAFX-Products-Pressure-30-130dBA-Warranty/dp/B00ECCZWWI ... | |

| Accuphase integrateds…are pre outs active full time to use for sub? what specific model number? you can always get a sub that has both speaker wire in/out AND rca in/out. rca in/out is best, it takes the load of low frequencies away from the main amp and those frequencies away from the front left and right speak... | |
| Is a separate phono pre really necessary? any phono eq that takes low output mc, you are running thru it's internal SUT anyway. my SUT has 3 tonearm inputs, PASS for MM, and 4 optional transformer windings: 4 optional x factors and the 'resultant' impedance (determined by x factor squar... | |

| Isolation Advice Needed I also have wood floor over crawl space. It is springy, has been problematic, luckily solved now. It was built in 1951, I think with ’green’ wood (not properly dried) as so much building occurred after WWII. More problematic than most suspended wo... | |
| My Next Upgrade: Speakers or Turntable? I'd add a TT ASAP, enjoy the content, and take lots of time evaluating while savind funds for a future speaker change. I always advise a removable headshell for optional MM, MC, Mono cartridges as you may desire. A few inexpensive tools and skil... | |
| Dust cover up or down? It is inconceivable to me not to have a dust cover. Seems absurd to leave a tonearm with super-fine manufacturing tolerances, precise movement subject to dust or any airborne substance, often invisible when not in use. Irresponsible of OEM's not t... |
