| B&W line up Don't forget the older DM4, DM5 and DM6. Earlier B&W had a hybrid speaker with an electrostatic tweeter. | |
| Thorens. Vintage or New? New Thorens or old? Tough call! I have two in my collection: a TD150/SME series 3 and a TD125/Rega RB300. The Vinyl Nirvana TD125/Sorane TA-1 is particularly appealing - they do excellent restoration/mod work! I have the Vinyl Nirvana original AR ... | |
| Building System with Record Player / Need Preamp? Pioneer PLX1000 ($699) + a Grado Prestige cartridge ($89 - $189). The C328 phono stage should be adequate. An upgrade would be the Schiit Mani ($150). I have the PLX1000 with a Denon 103R mc cartridge. Read Herb Reichert's review from several yea... | |

| What's up with the price of Vintage equipment? I bought a Marantz 2235 from an eBay seller. $130 with free shipping! Another eBay bargain for me was the BEL 1001 amp for $525 from the original owner. Sold new for $3K in 1982. The Brown Electronic Lab amps are still competitive with today's fiv... | |
| What's up with the price of Vintage equipment? @deadhead1000 : can you provide examples of old gear that you consider overpriced? | |
| Furutech Mains Power Cables Hierarchy & Differences Cable burn-in indeed! Might as well claim those led lightbulbs give a "purer" light after being in use for a few hundred hours! | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" @wizzzard : thank you for your reply to my question! I have been suspicious of the claims by LAST since their appearance decades back. I will stick to cleaning my styli using Magic Erasure. Also A.J.van den Hul recommended using some vodka on a fi... |
