| Technics SL1200/1210 owners - which mat? I tried the stock rubber mat upside down, it was a big improvement over right side up. However, the Boston Audio Design Mat1 was always better in an A/B swap with the stock. I even tried the BAD on top of the stock (both right side up, and up side... | |

| What's a good beginner turntable at $2500+- range? Just remember that $$$ is no indicator of sound. Go with what your ear tells you, not the price they want you to pay... | |
| What's a good beginner turntable at $2500+- range? I had a SOTA Cosmos mk3, even upgraded it (paid $900) to have it upgraded to mk4 status. A brand new Cosmos mk4 cannot play a record at a consistent speed when compared to a vintage $300 direct drive Luxman PD-264.The Cosmos Mk4 retails for over $... | |
| Turntable speed measurements for speed accuracy? I lived with a SOTA Cosmos mk3 for 2 years, then upgraded it to the mk4 status. I could hear the speed UN-stability it was playing with my records.

| How hard is it to remove the technics 1210 tonearm Origin Live makes a tonearm adapter for the Technics 1200/1210. | |
| Sota Millenia vs Kuzma Stabi reference vs VPI HRX I had a Sota Cosmos mk3. I ordered a custom finish which began to crack after a month of receiving the turntable which was delivered 4 months after the promise date.A year later, the table went back in for warranty service (the defective cabinet w... | |
| Turntable speed measurements for speed accuracy? It would be nice if review rags would perform speed accuracy tests with every turntable they review. It seems like this is a fundamental specification of performance to actually measure.If a turntable cannot spin a record at a consistent speed, th... | |
| Help with finding ultra-transparent pre-amp Have a look at Lamm. LL2 or L1 would fit your price requirements. | |
| The Police Live I suspect there is a new album in the making. That's what they hinted at during their first reunion tour last time. I was able to see them twice at Madison Square Garden, at the beginning and the end of their tour.Both times tho, it was the Police... | |
| Calling Dave Berning ZH-270 owners I had one for several years, started w/o a preamp and later added 2 different preamps. If I owned one today, I would indeed have a preamp in front of it.I would put a Lamm preamp in front of it, but that is my biased. I first started with a Lamm L... |
