| Technics 1200 MKII Quartz Speed Strobe Issue Video 05-03-10: GreenfuzzI decided to send the 1200 off the Kab for the Cardas re-wire & the tonearm dampener as well as have a look over. Look forward to hearing the results. Good show! The SL12x0 series has lots of potential but you have to start ... | |

| Technics 1200 MKII Quartz Speed Strobe Issue Video Have you tried oiling the spindle? The oil doesn't last forever in there and can probably drain out during shipping. I bought a brand new SL210M5G; soon after I bought a little tube of the Technics spindle oil from KAB and used up half the tube pu... | |
| The Cheap Stuff Yes, I'm still using the Onkyo A-9555. That's the amp that finally displaced the Amber 70 in my analog rig. It's faster, quieter, and cleaner without getting harsh or edgy. Its built-in phono stage is pretty decent, especially for smoothness and i... | |
| The Cheap Stuff I have a friend who's nearly 50 who kept his records carefully stored and clean even though he didn't have a turntable for several years. He just picked up a nice older Dual belt drive table (which also made this model for Thorens) from Craigslist... | |

| Speakers for a large room for around $1000 04-29-10: Hi_hifiOne thing you will find is that all the good speakers and electronics in the world will only constitute some portion of the resulting sound. The room size, shape, and furnishings will drive a bunch of the results and the location ... | |
| Speakers for a large room for around $1000 04-26-10: Blnd2spll I am drawn to the Vandys because from what I can tell they have a reputation for being very musical speakers and have a very full and rich sound (even if that means a slight loss of detail). Are there any speakers that fit a si... | |
| Speakers for a large room for around $1000 Hey Dmastri, in what way do you find Mirage floorstanders deficient? Can you articulate it beyond your "but Mirage? C'mon!" comment? What may be self-evident to you is not apparent to many of us. The Mirages I recommended list at $2500/pair but ar... | |
| Speakers for a large room for around $1000 Mirage OMD-15, available in black or rosewood. These were originally designed to sell at $2500/pair, but Vann's, who's an authorized Mirage dealer, sells them at $1K/pair in either finish. I paid $1700 for mine two years ago and don't regret it be... | |
| woofer pumping 04-26-10: NewbeeNo one has mentioned that the probable cause of the woofer pumping is a mis-match between the cartridge and the arm. This will do it every time. It is a arm mass/cartridge compliance issue you should investigate. BINGO! I have an S... | |

| Speakers for Onkyo A-9555 Integrated I have been using an A-9555 powering a pair of Mirage OMD-15's for nearly two years. These Mirages are small floorstanding towers and retailed at $2500 (now available for $1K/pair from accessories4less.com), but the point is, the A-9555 works very... |
