Mag Lev Turntable. Your Thoughts?
@atmasphere That was my initial thought when I saw the concept as a fund it dream.It attacks one analog negative while introducing a couple more. The price is prohibitive in my opinion, 4000 for a curiosity is too much for me and likely most infor... 
Why do YOU love Vinyl/or hate vinyl
Denying noise , better yet never experiencing the over emphasized claims some experienced is not romanticism for some at all. The environment both played and stored in matters, the condition of the equipment and set up matters, whether the vinyl w... 
Why do YOU love Vinyl/or hate vinyl
Simple for me. I love the music. Grew up in the golden years of vinyl. Music , much of which either isn't available or isn't available in a quality digital offering vs the original sin. I procured a very large number of albums when others were sel... 
Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
As long as the caveat " in my opinion " is attached, people are free to make any claim THEY, THEMSELVES " believe to be a fact based opinion in their own world. In the rest (real) of the world though, opinions will certainly and without fault diff... 
Why According to some Turntable extremists Pitch Control and Direct Drive is Sacrilege?
Most any company , big or small producing turntables could produce a direct drive table if they chose . Most companies don't produce any motors themselves at all  and outsource and use the expertise of the manufacturer to build to suit. Just becau... 
Why According to some Turntable extremists Pitch Control and Direct Drive is Sacrilege?
Hi Raul, It certainly makes it less enjoyable and inviting when someone refuses to allow others to express their own opinions or discredits them . More importantly , passing along some knowledge along the way and learning some from those different...

Why According to some Turntable extremists Pitch Control and Direct Drive is Sacrilege?
@chakster Museums are for looking and usually for looking at static objects. My tables are used, as they were designed for and enjoyed as such. Often get sold and different models are refurbished and or rebuilt and enjoyed and the cycle continues.... 
Should I keep the Turntable or sell it?
@bignamehere Just choose what sound preference , ergonomics , features and looks that you want. Its you that lives with it , not some zealot who can,t for some reason accept his opinions are not the facts he claims. DD is not everyone's cup of tea...

@chakster You really  , really , really should read , then comprehend BEFORE you reply. Where did I say or give the idea I was all about belted tables or cheap plastic stuff. Why are you so demeaning to anyone who points out there are other choice...

@chakster You really should get use to adding to your Japanese DD obsession diatribes with the caveat...."in your opinion"...not everyone does or is required to be that narrow of mind and sight to enjoy their music , played back their way. Some fo... 
Why According to some Turntable extremists Pitch Control and Direct Drive is Sacrilege?
@chakster Yes , of course the same arm  n cart. Apples to apples,  always.I'm really not as impressed with specs as you seem to be. Wow and flutter is but one measurement and also one with dubious formulas behind its final claims. Not really seein... 
Why According to some Turntable extremists Pitch Control and Direct Drive is Sacrilege?
Generalization and over zealous ownership biases. ....Two of the absolute worst criteria to choose most audio, but especially turntables , and the arms and cartridges needed to complete the job. Many think direct drive is the " only " choice for b... 
DeoxIT on tube pins
I have only ever used a simple soft erarser to clean the pins. Simply push the pins into the eraser a couple times . You can see the black it leaves behind and inserting them back in snug sockets will finish a clean contact. Pencils with eraser ti...
