| Mono Cart or Stereo Summed for Beatles MONO UK??? There are number of good mono cartridges, as I've been looking and comparing myself over the course of time. At the top are the Lyra and Miyajima mono's like the Titan or the Zero. There are the Ortofon SPU's for the wider grooves of the 1950's. T... | |
| Japanese pressings/thanks to unknown collector Since Jdaniel113 mentions classical finds, I'll eagerly share mine. I visited a record store downtown in the bar district where records are piled on top of one another, in stacks, on top of shelves and then there are even some in record bins. I we... | |
| Does vinyl have a sound? This might seem conservative but my record collection is somewhat restricted to mid or late 1950's mono classical pressings. The platters typically weigh about 200 grams and the sound engineering is primarily based on the make of instruments and t... | |
| Cartridge for Thorens TD-160 MK1 ? I have a TD 145 which is essentially the same table but with an automatic raised tonearm and shut off feature. I'm not a fan of the TP16 myself but am early in the TD 145 modification process. From my understanding given the advice of Thorens vete... | |
| Need recommendation on mono cartridge please There appears to be a variety of theoretical constructs concerning ways of designing mono cartridges.

| Sota Sapphire arm help? Though primarily for Thorens and Gerrard, please take a look at this website as it may address some of your uncertainties;http://www.soundsupports.com/index.htmWish I had a Sota, that sound's addictive. | |
| Need recommendation on mono cartridge please Seraphim was a Czech or Eastern European label which then may have gotten bought out by Angel/EMI. RCA Victrola are later re-pressings of music found on His Master's Voice 78's and RCA Red Seal (both shellac). Most RCA Red Seal recordings were re-... | |
| Best used turntable/arm combo for under $7,500.00 If I could afford to pull it off, I'd purchase a used Transrotor. Acoustic Solid is much like the Transrotor in its approach. They're simple, no froth, solid build, will effectively accommodate any cartridge and look great as well. | |
| Dick's Picks on Vinyl I admittedly am very picky about which GD recordings I'll invest in. Much of it has to do with the recording quality as well as the playlist. There were a number of CD's in the DP catalogue which left me unimpressed due to recording issues. What c... | |
| How much do you appreciate Boccherini's music? Considering that there were so many people in Boccherini's life that died, it's remarkable that he was able to keep on writing great pieces. I would make the radical assumption that there were various times in history where he was celebrated more ... | |
| Amy Winehouse - Lioness There is a UK box set of Amy Winehouse that I spotted at FNAC in Belgium and it contains a number of bonus tracks as well as 'Frank' and 'Back in Black'. AS far as making comparisons and I'm not saying that anyone is making comparisons but a gift ... | |
| Top 5 Classical recordings There is only a difference of 8 years between the age of Sergei Rachmaninoff and Bela Bartok yet their composing styles seem worlds apart. If your digging into the Rachmaninoff catalogue, the piano trios are nice but often overlooked. The copy I o... | |

| Top 5 Classical recordings If early music is of interest, then I personally would choose to study early composition styles and their locations of origin. The French did not write in the same way as the Germans or the Italians. When I took music history back in the day, Greg... | |
