Tidal sound quality
Tidal to me has some weird artifacts in their music in general that I don't really hear from other lossless digitization.  
Dynavector 501 repairs
Found a headshell that fits correctly, off of a Yamaha PX-3, straightened and put everything on the arm back in place, which was much more of a task than I thought. Looks like now all that is left is to mock up some rca connections. 
Dynavector 501 repairs
Yeah, that is the one I bought, I am pretty handy with a soldering Iron, so I figured what the heck. 
Mcintosh xrt20 or Gallo 3.1??
I've been working on placement, makes it rather fun as I have a warp in the floor around my speaker area, tons of laughs....not. I have them positioned right now so that each speaker points on its respective side about a foot away from where my he... 
Mcintosh xrt20 or Gallo 3.1??
Right Dan, because those are close to the price range of the others ha. I love the Gallo's, but every once in a while I miss the big full boomy sound of the old school speakers. Maybe I should just buy the sub amp that I have been resisting. Then ... 
sme 3009 low volume
Sounds like a good excuse to upgrade the tone arm's wiring. is it a fixed or removable head shell model? 
How many times do you play a CD/LP?
Hey Grimace, I just herd Dark Side today, and plan on going out and buying it, ha. I actually spend more time searching for equipment to play the music I really love, which gets played constantly. The continuous change in music actually bothers me... 
B&W 803S Speakers
I listened to both, for the money, I thought the 683s were pretty nice. The increase to the 803S' seemed a waste, they were rather flat sounding by comparison. I don't think they were flat sounding as in a neutral way, just flat sounding as in lif... 
sme 3009 low volume
Does the pre or integrated you are using have a phono state, that might be the problem, or it might be some damage to the internal wiring of the arm? 
Linn Sondek Hype
The one thing I notice about the Linn, is that it has specific music that it just absolutely shines, others, it kinda dumps out. I really like Don Mclean, but have never heard him sound as terrible as it does on the Linn. It gets frustrating to me... 
I have gone insane, need help
Personally my favorite is the Td 160. In part because I am really impressed by the Thorens, and in part because it is the best looking one out of the group In my opinion. It is black with a mirror polished platter, and unfortunately I hear with my... 
I have gone insane, need help
Ah, the GSXR encouragements are not helping, since I have wrecked a couple before, and the girlfriend is not liking the idea that I have been looking at a couple lately :). The hardest thing with the tables is that I like them all, they all have s... 
I have gone insane, need help
Ha Jaybo, that was what I was thinking (keep em all), except I can barely reach my equipment to turn anything on and off. I was debating on selling the Linn and keeping the rest. Heck I forgot one, a Rega R3 
Best bargain find ever ?
Thorens Td 165 in really good shape except for a scratched up dustcover with a stanton 600ee and a couple records for $20. That kicked off the vinyl addiction about 6 months ago and I managed to go through about 9 tables sense. 
Linn Sondek Hype
The issue I am having is with the rack, it is a circuit city stand purchased purely on looks. It has gotten looser, which I am assuming is due to my constant fiddling with components, and blasting the hell out of it. So now if I go to change the v...
