| Is anyone listening to OLD 78's? Between everyone in my family (the "older" generation) I will end up with many, many 78's. While I don't listen to them now, I do plan on building a Lenco to give me that option. My Teres will not play them either. I have played some of then on my... | |
| Teres 340, anyone heard / seen one in the flesh Yes, we know what a 345 is. I tried to post a picture of the only 345 extant on the Teres forum, but I guess i didn't go through. You can see it here:Two-Armed Teres It was being set up this past weekend by Chris himself. | |

| Record-playing Rituals? After spending about a grand on cleaning stuff, now I just say piss on it & play em dirty! That way I don't have to worry when my fluid that comes out of the VPI is clean. Once in a while I throw the cartridge in the dishwasher to get the crap... | |
| Acrylic Source for TT mod? 2"? That sounds like a pretty good price. Getting the borings done should be no problem for any decent shop. I think that may be one hell of a deal. Ask how much for 3". That should put the platter at about 18#. | |
| Acrylic Source for TT mod? Second that. | |

| Transformer stepup size I used a K&K and a Microgroove. They both worked very well. Then I bought a Supratek, so I don't need the stepup any more. So, I sold the Microgroove and kept the K&K in case I ever need another stepup. Size don't matter. Does that answer ... | |

| Recommendations for Music on DVD Try almost anything that is done in DTS. I've got about all of the ones listed here, and then some, and the DTS DVD's are IMHO much better sounding. | |

| phono noise It's possible your interconnects are picking up the stray noise. Make sure you are using shielded ic's. | |
| Fluctuating volume in one channel When it happenned to me, I had a bad solder joint in the IC's. 2 minutes with the iron fixed it. Funny what you get when you but $2200 retail IC's here on the 'Gon for $75. | |
| Audio Note Soro from 97, still current? Congrats Phil! Now, all you need to do is find a quad of Tele 5881's. If you think it sounds great now, wait till you change tubes. |
