Inexpensive Good Vintage Turntables?
@beartunes I might be interested… if you go through Bend you drop it off with a friend.

@mijostyn thanks mate!   @pindac  @holmz Great News that you are to try out a Tonearm that has an attraction to you. I am sure you will start to notice differences immediately and the curiosity will be further ignited, you will not be alone in... 
MM or HO MC Cartridge Choice-Input Please
The Garrott Bros p77i seems like a good choice in the $500 range. I have not tried the SoundSmith ones, but their carts intrigue me too.

My pop up TV mount arrived a week ago. No time to even open up the box yet.  
Inexpensive Good Vintage Turntables?
@beartunes which city/state are you in? Many people will see a single post and suspect a scam could be taking place. Or maybe I am unique. A photo might help to provide some assurance. Having the same TT and different arm, I suspect that the ar... 
If you had to downsize to smaller, more buget...
Not sure what parameters are, but the Lyngdorf stuff has my attention. Mine too. Most of the small gear I have been looking at and acquiring is not cheaper. It is 1/2 the size… but twice the cost!

I found a second hand Schroder CB-9. So I’ll make a new arm board to hold it.  
Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps?
Let’s simplify negative feedback = taking something ( the AC audio signal aka music ) that has ALREADY happened, flip it around out of phase ( that’s the negative part ) and feed it back into the input where something new and unequal is happening...

Do you have a TT?

@rauliruegas  ​​@holmz , The way tonearms are dampened is a complicated issue with many different approaches. Some have fluid damping like the 4 Points others use magnets like my CB and the Graham arms. Many arms do pretty much nothing other than... 
Another “How to choose an arm” question
Raul is right. At some point you just have to jump into the water. It is what we all do. That was sort of the question @mijostyn … whether there were any measurements that showed the bearing chatter. I suspect most just go for sonics, fewer are... 
Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp
For acting like a psychic, may i ask where the LP is in the postal system? And I should be picking up the ADC this weekend of next week. I think I have the RIAA curve backwards though, so it would not help us at higher freqs with loading… exactly... 
Need a easy drive speaker while I am traveling
Maybe  it is class D amplifier inside. Do you really care if it has a class-D amp?    
Another “How to choose an arm” question
Copy @mijostyn he first step is for me to figure out whether a new arm would make a notable difference. (I know that the CB-9 would fit just fine.) Or if I would be better off just shoving that money into a better cartridge. One actual tone arm ... 
Another “How to choose an arm” question
Does any know whether there are any measurements like this for the SAEC we317 arm, that would enlighten me as to how a different arm would have the quieter bearings?   http://korfaudio.com/blog45
