| Keep or sell Yamaha PX-2 turntable? Why write off the Yamaha so soon before you even get a chance to hear it? Is it because it is not "audiophile" enough? You might be surprised. . | |
| Opinions on bang for the buck on TT & tonearm Lewm: "And you know what audiophiles are like, me included. What I own is obviously the best."Thanks for summarizing audiophilia for me. For a long time I thought being an audiophile is to think "what I own is what I LIKE best." Now I know. . | |
| Brinkmann/Spiral Groove/TW Acustic Black Night...? You be the judge:Thread#1Thread#2Yeah, very classy.. | |
| Brinkmann/Spiral Groove/TW Acustic Black Night...? Sour grape! Stop it! It is not professional as a dealer to keep attacking the manufacturer. Be a professional and just. . . LET . . . IT . . . GO !You've been doing that on another forum too. It does NOT make you look good!. | |
| New $35K pivoting tonearm Wood is just another material. Plastic is used in everywhere and yet nobody complains about it. There many other topics to talk about, such as bearing, wiring, geometry, etc... I'm with Lew, if you can't come up with a good argument, just move on ... | |
| TECHNICS SL1200 MKII.......THE REAL FACTS Kiko65, I did not say the SL1200 sounds better nor do I care. The Rega probably does sound better and good for you! I'm not a fan of the SL1200 at all. It was not about taste. All I wanted to point out was your idea about direct drive's motor isol... | |

| Sheffield Lab 05-12-14: Elizabeth: "They are one of the main reasons for the joke about audiophile recordings. Wonderful sound with awful performances of total dreck."Completely agree. Remember the question about good recording: "Does it sound like you are ther... | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable The best review is using your own ears. I don't take reviews that seriously like most people so it didn't bother me. It's like porn. Do people take porn seriously? I don't even take the Oscar seriously. I guess if I'm about to spend $30k, I should... | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable Here's another positive REVIEW. Not that I can afford it but all the reviews sure make me want to hear it...maybe at one of the hifi shows. . | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? To create a link via Audiogon instructions: Using Markup Tags. Pictures are links only as Audiogon has no database to store picture files therefore one must upload photos to outside website a la photobucket, tinypic, imgur, etc... . | |
| New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts? I don't think that's possible because the Schroeder SQ is a version of unipivot arm and it cannot "move" the extra pivot. The only way to retain the string concept is to have a servo linear slide. Frank is a genius so he might be able to come up w... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I believe Lewm is right that there must be a cold solder joint somewhere or a pot that needs lubrication where the wiper has intermittent contact or a crimp connector eroded over the years and lost contact. These kind of things require only the me... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Yep, damn him! You can whisper some of the witchcraft his way. Ha! . | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Surprise, surprise! Thuchan is, his words, "now back to the DD camp." Welcome back! :-) PS, That's one lovely looking Sony PS-X9. . |
