| Thorens TD-316? I picked up a TD 318 a few months ago for my second system and have been very pleasantly surprised how good it sounds... but my expectations were realistic for a $120 vintage table. I tried an old Dynavector MC on it but like the sound of the Shur... | |

| KEF Q800ds heads up check yours I tried reversing the connections, but it did not change which of the two speakers was the + side. I confirmed this using the battery and trying it connected both ways... I had to change the internal speaker connection or flip one upside down whic... | |

| Most meaningful record show find of 2012 My luck at finding good albums seems to run in streaks.... 2011 was a general bust, but this year I found three literally perfect condition Cadet blues albums at a yard sale. The best fine though was an audiophile copy (says so right on the cover ... | |
