| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hi Win, thanks for the supportive words, it is indeed all about the music, it does my heart good to see someone recognize and fasten on the best drive system to reproduce music from LPs, and then take it as far as he can take it.

| EMT turntables as good as other great vintage TT? I heard the EMT 930 idler-wheel drive on Cyprus (fully restored under the supervision of A.J.

| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hi all, the other night I once again heard vinyl sounding like Master Tape, on a vintage system which still sounds better than any other I've heard, backing up those Fab Electro-Voice speakers (simply the best I've ever heard, period, The End) now... | |
