VAM1202 same as Phillips CDM 1201?

VAM1202 same as Phillips CDM 1201?
Is the VAM1202 a reliable transport mechanism and is the VAM1201 a quality pickup? Does anyone have experience with a player with the Philips VAM1202 transport mechanism and the VAM1201? Thanks 
Anybody heard the Raysonic CD238 yet, or too new?
I know some time has passed but is the Philips VAM1202 a reliable transport mechanism. I found that some parts are available for it but am wondering like the OP if it is reliable. Thanks everyone in advance. 
Technics SL-10 Linear Tracking
Hi Rhljazz Thanks for the news update. My naivete' about vinyl is showing as well as my haste in posting. After reading your most recent post and then scrolling up through this thread I saw that you covered this issue before on Nov 30 2010. 
Technics SL-10 Linear Tracking
Hi Brick997 I'm going to check out the Jolida JD9. I think there is a Jolida dealer not to far away from me locally. Thanks for the heads up. I got the SL-10 hooked up with the built in pre and I'm not a happy camper. The music was faint. I double... 
How far apart do you position your speakers ?
Hi Rcrerar & Pubul57Thanks for the education. It is appreciated and it should help me going forward. 
How far apart do you position your speakers ?
I thought the rule was the speaker width apart should be as wide as the distance from your seating position to the speakers? So if I'm sitting 12 ft away from my speakers they should be 12 ft wide as best as you can. As for distance of the rears o... 
Adcom GFA 7500 Find Can It Be Ran In Two Channel..
Wow what a find. $15 for a quality 5 channel amp.I wonder if you would be causing adverse affects to the Adcom by only using 2 of the 5 channels.Either way for $15 why not give it a try.

Hi AmandaraeThanks for posting that 6moons link. I had some extra GLS Audio locking banana plugs and extra some cheap heat shrink tubes I found in my basement. I was going to big box home improvement store today to pick up various things so I deci... 
Technics SL-10 Linear Tracking
Does anyone have any recommendations for an under $200 phono preamp/outboard phono stage that would match well with a Technics SL-10 with the orginal 310-MC cartridge?I've read good things about the Cambridge Audio 640P but was wondering if there ... 
The best CD Player for the money
Hi ZmanastronomyLike everything else I guess it depends on your system. I was at listening session with a bunch of veteran audiophiles and we had an Emotiva ERC-1, stock Oppo BDP-83 and some other older Sony CDPs in rotation. The general consensus... 
Got my amp & speakers. What SS pre? $600 tops
If you like tubes try to score a Bottlehead Foreplay preamp. I've read great reviews about them and they can be found for under $600 used from time to time here. 
Decent p-mount table?
I've got my eye on a Technics SL-10 TT being offered for sale but it has been in stored in a closet for about 25 years. The owner says it has low hours on it but has not fired it up in years. It is all original with packaging, manual and cables.Wh... 
Vincent - PHO-8 or Creek OBH-15 phono pre amp
FrankWhat did you end up getting or doing? I'm trying to find opinions here about the Vincent Audio PHO-8 but haven't had much luck. The Vincent looks nice though. 
Decent budget turntable?
Thanks PMB, Lears and Johnnyb53 for your input.From looking at some old threads here one TT I may be considering is the Audio Technica AT-PL120 or an LP Gears modified Audio Technica AT-LP120 USB. For under $300 new it seems to be a decent table t...
