| Your Top 5 Sax Players? Eddinanm3, that's the problem with limiting the list to five choices; although by limiting it, we are forced to narrow things down to the truly innovative. As I said in my post, most of the mentioned players have roots in Bechet, Prez, Bird or Tra... | |

I have mounted my turntable on a Target wall shelf in two different listening rooms (same system, two diff homes). In one home the walls were typical, flimsy, sheetrock on metal s... | |

| Air line filter for air bearing arm It does make a difference where you locate the filter. Keep in mind that if you use a surge tank (as I and many do with their ET's) that the tank is filled with fibrous filler. It is possible for some of this, and possibly contaminants (oil?)from ... | |
| importance of phono cartridge Great post, Dougdeacon! Very little that I can add; but to further strengthen the point, let's look at the issue of wow or speed stability. One of the biggest strengths of superior turntables is their very good, in some cases almost (and I stress ... | |
