Graham Phantom 1 Owner's Manual
I bought a Phantom new in 2005 and no manual came with it.  I thought a manual was being assembled and might be delivered to me after a month or so.  None ever came, despite my subsequent inquiries.If you can find one, I'd like to buy a copy from ... 
for Los Angeles can anyone recommend someone to hire install phono cartridge
My first visit to Audio Elements yesterday impressed me with the number and variety of turntables on display.  They'd be at the top of my list for turntable help. 
7.1 or 5.1
Ah. Thank you for explaining.I have been accessing threads through Recent Discourse and never noticed the categorization of discussion groups. (I don't remember that we used to have such classifications.) I'll be sure to note this in the future. 
7.1 or 5.1
Sorry, I was away for a time, and I was not aware that Audiogon had become an "Analog Forum" or "Analog Room."Was there an official declaration? Or did it just evolve on a de facto basis? 
last night a dj deck saved my life
Uhh. I read the thread title and expected a different story.Like, "Last night I was trapped in the elevator shaft of a deserted building with nothing but a DJ 'table, but it was torguey enough to winch me to safety. The DJ deck saved my life."Glad... 
7.1 or 5.1
One simple benefit is that it can provide a more immersive experience. Like when a live audience applauds at the end of a performance, some clapping comes from the rear, helping to create the impression that you are in the performance hall.During ... 
Right time to pull the trigger. Black Friday.
I agree -- it sounds too good to be true. More like a going out of business liquidation. Hope not, since they have been a good dealer.By the way, I assume you mean Audiolab in Fairless Hills PA, cuz there doesn't seem to be any Audiolab in Bensale... 
Lego turntable
Cool!I hope the platter runs smoothly, no "cogging" from the drive. heh 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
I enjoyed the Doo Wop Project in the Matthews Auditorium of the McCarter Theatre in Princeton, New Jersey tonight.It was an extraordinary performance by a most talented ensemble -- 5 male vocalists backed up piano, sax, drums, bass guitar, and ele...

Just attended Chris Botti's performance in the Matthews Auditorium of McCarter Theatre in Princeton, New Jersey, tonight.As always, Chris put on a great show. He had five sidemen - piano, guitar, bass, drums, and electronic keyboard, and three gue... 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
A group of six "Young Jazzers" at Trumpets Jazz in Montclair, New Jersey last night, August 9. (Two saxes, trumpet, guitar, bass, drums)Well-coordinated young talent in a comfortable venue. 
The End Of Big Iron?
I would assume that demand has been off for such high wattage stuff. Due to the economy? Saturation? Dunno.Practically speaking, the big power was really only useful for bass content in big inefficient woofers.Nowadays, many speaker manufacturers ... 
To remove the belt or not remove the belt that is the question
Too much handling is probably not good for the belt. Best to leave it on unless you know you won't be using the turntable for a long (long) time. 
What started you on the path to being audionut?
Stereo5, I really liked the way the Rectilinears sounded too. In my mind, they had a sense of the sound of electrostatics, which were out of my price range. They were airy and the sound seemed to be emitted from the entire baffle, given their 4 tw...
