Need advice on what to look for in a turntable - budget $6K to $10K
You mentioned  your getting into the hobby so my question would be first, how much of a record collection do you have now. The size and quality of that will impact your enjoyment as much as a great table will. As far as tables go I like my Orbe SE... 
ASSEMBLED IN CHINA
It should be noted, it is NOT just a matter of the amount of audio products that can be stuffed into a container . The Chinese government heavily subsidizes shipping costs. Between the 3rd world wages, no environmental concerns , already maximizin...

Motorman's New Scam Of The Week - the miraculous Furutech LP Demagnetizer
The thing I find humorous in these pure opinionated rants, is the use of the term "snake oil " and it's context. The original Elixir had no snake oil in it and that was the legal issue raised. Lost in all the out of context use of the coined phras...

Sadly , another casualty of a market place driven by off shore manufacturing.Albeit with reduced manufacturing costs (only to maximize profits), many times comes with reduced quality and the eventual extinction of those who manufacture in North Am... 
Cleaning records. How often really?
When a record comes into my possession, whether it is new , used and clean in appearanceor used with remnants of mishandling, regardless they get run through the Loricraft I haveused for decades twice then placed in a new inner sleeve. Handled pro...

Never left it either. Have a very large collection from both buyingthrough the late 60's and all the 70's.  Then being given a few thousand morein the 80's when many felt they were worthless and consumed to much space ( many thanks to all those wi...

The Arm , and plate together should weigh lessthan 1 kg. Thats about the max an arm and plate canweigh by design . It would appear to me , the balanceweight applied under the table is not too lightbut rather you have too nuch weight on the arm sid...
