| Technics SP 10 Mk II a --Reliable? Repairable? Nope, completely unreliable piece of junk. Look, I'll take it off your hands for the price of postage...the turntable in my microwave stopped spinning and I think it would fit in there quite nicely until it dies. Seriously, contact Albert Porter a... | |

| How about an accordion thread? For example, could one imagine what would "The Trinity Sessions" be like if there was no accordion?As a matter of fact, I can - Check out the 20th Anniversary reunion of the Junkies in the same church with a few guest artists - Trinity Revisited. ... | |

| How about an accordion thread? You must see the poignant film, "Schultze Gets the Blues" - it's a wonderful film where the accordion plays a key roll from start to finish. Piazzolla for sure. I love some of the more unusual music that the accordion is used very effectively in..... | |
| Mystical Performances Timrhu - I agree; I've also been introduced to some really great music through these threads. Hope you enjoy the Jurado - that's my favorite of the few CD's I have from him. Superwolf - Right on! That one just runs a shiver down my spine. That las... | |
| Tube Ampp Almarro low level hum Glad to hear it worked out! The spring solution is a new one on me, but I've found the weights can work wonders. | |
| Mystical Performances Timrhu - you definitely need to listen to the Damien Jurado cut I mentioned. It will also raise some hairs. It is mixed with some very odd, phase-swapping ambiance that almost sounds like it is being performed in a bathroom. Contrary to what one m... | |
| 10 percent for cables ??? I wouldn't focus on numbers. Buy cables that work well with your system within a budget you can afford and that sound good to you. Take advantage of a good dealer if one is available nearby, who may let you try out cables with a deposit (It would ... | |

| Mystical Performances I think I get where you're coming from and would certainly echo Meeting by the River as a good example. In a similar trance-like way I'd point to some of the collaborations of the oudist, Anouar Brahem. My favorite being, "Le Pas du Chat Noir," bu... | |
| anybody modded a Sophia music baby? I have a baby with upgraded coupling caps. It was factory modded, so unfortunately I have nothing to compare it to, but it is a nice little amp for the money. | |
