| Brass door knobs as footers Actually, the Mapleshade brass heavy footers come in at $160/set of four. Here's an in-between compromise: *adjustable* solid brass footers from Parts Express for $71.45 for a set of four.Another A-goner has these and says the threads make these f... | |
| Breaking: Paramount/Dreamworks go HDDVD exclusive And if there are millions of owners of Chinese HD DVD players, I would suspect some percentage of them would start screaming to the suppliers to put out more HD DVD titles. If the HD DVD customer base grows large enough, creating the demand, that ... | |
| "Glue Cleaning" Your LP's 08-22-07: HeyitsmedustyWould anyone recommend mixing in a little alcohol with the glue to reduce the viscosity and surface tension to get it down deeper into the grooves?Elmer's is water soluble, so alcohol might not particularly help. I presume y... | |
| How does the Technics SL 1200 compare with.... 08-21-07: Lg1Just thinking that, if these modified SL-1200s are as great as touted, someone should seize the marketing moment and get a mass distribution thing going to coincide with the recent resurgence in vinyl. Sure there's a few aging 'Boomer... | |
| Breaking: Paramount/Dreamworks go HDDVD exclusive 08-20-07: Rysa4I think that this is a retread of an old article. Is this new news...I don't think so.This article refers to the press release in question as "this morning's shocking revelation," which, if you'll notice, is dated today.Plus, the ar... | |
| How does the Technics SL 1200 compare with.... 08-20-07: ShsohisI'm currently using 1) Nottingham Spacedeck, VDH silver mod OL RB300 arm, Ortofon Rondo Bronze...For about $1750, you could have a Technics SL1210 mk2 with KAB outboard PSU, Origin Live armboard, and their OL Silver tonearm. The c... | |
| denon 160, AT 150, orton 540 mk2 or Grado Sonata? 08-20-07: Viridian...the AT150 is the best tracker with the 540 behind it. The Denon is a good tracker and the Sonata is somewhat arm dependent. With that MC phono stage, why not use a low output MC? The Denon 103, if your arm has high effective m... | |
| new Aja 180 gram vinyl pressing just arrived 08-19-07: R_f_sayles...Hey Johnnyb53, Ya just got to have *Countdown to Ecstasy * to round out you set, there's no two ways about it.Yeah, you're probably right.

| How does the Technics SL 1200 compare with.... Things changed when I heard the P3... and it is belt driven TTs from then on for me.... How do you know it was the belt? Maybe it had more to do with the more inert platter, the plinth material, isolation, or damping, or that RB300 tonearm? Perhap... | |
| Old B&O vs. new Rega P1 Here's another thought:Get a Technics SL1210 Mk2 from Musicians Friend for a mere $399.99. It has a lot going for it--build quality, speed accuracy, low noise, close tolerances, durability, and slick controls and ergonomics. You will get an increa... | |
| Cartridge Rec's for AR EB 101 I'm with Viridian about the M97xE. If you play much used vinyl, it may be handy to have one around because its damper brush enables it to track very warped records.As for me, I moved from the Shure to a Denon DL160, and the only way I'll play the ... | |
| Old B&O vs. new Rega P1 It's been a long time, but I worked at a store that carried B&O, and I remember their 'tables as being pretty clean-sounding but a bit on the light side where slam and bass weight were concerned. I certainly feel that I get a lot more performa... | |
| How does the Technics SL 1200 compare with.... 08-16-07: Ghosthousejmoog08 - I was looking at the same TTs as you are now. I contacted a well respected on line retailer. The guy I talked to had a VPS Scout...he recommended the Technics from KAB. His store didn't eve carry Technics. That impres... | |
| new Aja 180 gram vinyl pressing just arrived 08-16-07: Markd51And that's exactly what I did, found a mint original the other day for 50 cents at the local antique shop. MarkDamn! And I paid $1.99 for mine Monday. But at least I can comfort myself that it's also NM. For the same price I also ... | |
| How does the Technics SL 1200 compare with.... Really, the Technics is a cheaper starting platform than the other two. You can get an SL1210 Mk2 from Musicians Friend for $399.99 here. That's almost in the price range of a P1 or MMF 2.1. Remember, the P3 is $685. For that money you could get t... |
