Aftermarket Laser. I only paid $28. for this Denon (big dented top) (plus shipping and tax = $52 total). I never checked with Denon. After 2 days, it stopped finding discs, I got the seller to pay for this laser, refunded $28., so he ended up wit... 
If you were looking for a direct drive turntable ...
jason, chakster when I first joined, when I first asked for advice, I would not have known how darn good both of those TT's I found are, and how rare it is to get one at a great price. You are both right, someone we know ought to jump on either o... 
If you were looking for a direct drive turntable ...
mijostyn I know exactly what you mean. I had one do that in my prior home. A taller upright. Somehow, luckily, it doesn’t make itself aparent, quiet or my highest listening. Perhaps during In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida it's singing away. I play that long p... 
If you were looking for a direct drive turntable ...
Chakster mentioned the Luxman PD444, it is a great looking TT, If I had known about it when I bought my JVC Victor, I might have preferred it. One for a decent price, you would need to add one or two tonearms to this price, and a cartridge htt... 
If you were looking for a direct drive turntable ...
Chakster mentioned the JVC Victor TT81. I agree. They also made wonderful 7 layer wood plinths that fit either TT61, 71, 81. Single arm plinth CL-p1; Double Arm Plinth CL-p2, which I have and highly recommend; and a very rare CL-p3 for 3 tonearms...

jafant No proof, seller considered the hints that it read both types at first (probable that other stuff is not bad), then erratic, then stopped reading; then replacement read CD only was enough for the seller to simply be nice and offer a repla...

As I said, the search is over, this time I mean the the album: FINALLY - Betty Carter. 'The Sun Died' could be renamed 'The Sony Lost'. I have always loved this album, it has never sounded as awesome as played on this Integra CD Player.  My ne...

Manual for the Cayin SP-10A?
Steve Leung at VAS is extremely helpful, just adjusts bias on my Cayin https://vasnyinc.com/cayin/    
Micro Seiki DD-30 Turntable
anyone?  
Integrating a subwoofer
At least try 40hz. You cannot go by specs, it’s actual performance in that particular space. ’Real’ bass extension takes more than a single 10". I think even 40hz crossover is too low, my subs (1 office with smaller wharfdales, 1 home theater wit...
