| What is your dream turntable? Sota Cosmos with a Graham Phantom OR I think doing up an old TD-124 would be very cool too. Now lets see... where did I put that winning Power Ball ticket? | |
| Rubbing sound fromTechnics SP 15 platter See if there's a set-screw on the motor that can adjust the bearing up. Maybe directly below the spindle? I don't know if Technics has one on their motors, but some tables do. As stated above, a drop or two of oil might do the trick also. | |
| SOTA Comet --- Opinions please. Yeah, the Comet is pretty ugly. | |
| New LP Returns I bought a pretty expensive 180g Blue Note recently that looked like it had been dropped at the factory. Scratches on both sides and at least one skip. Acoustic Sounds took it back and replaced it with no problems at all. That sucks that they have... | |
| SOTA Comet --- Opinions please. Do consider used as well. I got a Sota Star Saphire here on A-gon with an AQ arm for less than the price of a new Comet. It is between 15 and 20 years old, but these things are built like tanks and service is readily available in the event that yo... | |
| Walker Audio Prelude Record Cleaning Question - With all that scrubbing and rinsing when does anyone have any time to listen to records? | |
| Technics 1200 MKII modifications and noob help You should look at www.kabusa.com. All this guy does is Tech 12 mods and they're very well regarded. The site is in english too. | |
| What's the Best LP You Bought in 2008 Art Pepper + 11, Count Basie - 88 Basie St and the 45 RPM version of Coltrane's Blue Trane. | |
| Coleman Hawkins If you haven't already, check our Mood Indigo on Duke Ellington Meets Coleman Hawkins. It's essentially Hawk riffing over the entire song. It has to be one of the most beautiful pieces of tenor playing ever recorded. | |
| turntable newbie: need advice for better sound Definately check your VTA. I had an M97xe on m last table, and while its not the most detailed cartridge ever, it is very good. The the darkness and lack of detail you're hearning might very well be because you've got the angle tilted too far back... | |
| Herbie Hancock's Maiden Voyage? If it sounds good what difference does it make? In any event, there are some very good vinyl albums that were taken from Digital masters - Pablo released a couple of Count Basie records in the early 80s this way. If its done well it may not make a... | |
| New Ortophon Tonearms? Downunder, you are correct, a 12-inch is out of the question on this table. The AS and RS series both come in 9-inch versions. | |
| Best cover songs? Charlie Parker, Night in Tunisia: So good most people think it was his song. | |
| Newbie Analog High Expectations?? Definately get a used table of some sort. You've got good equipment, get a good TT. Otherwise vinyl will not live up to your expectations. It can be a pain - cleaning records is a real headache - but the sonic benefits are there. Also, as someone ... | |
| SOTA cosmos turntables Also, you may think that Sota owners seem a little cultish about their tables, and you would be correct!Of course its with good reason. |
