Garrard 100 Zero SC
I had a Garrard Zero 100 at one time. I've owned 4 turntables and this was the worst by a long shot. It tore up records. Almost a pile of lathe chips on the inner grooves of the record after each play. Your asking for an opinion and I say the name... 
Most demanding passages for a turntable & system
I'd like to try the Sheffield Drum Track. I've been thinking of other LP's I own that are tough. Rick Wakemans' Myth & Legends of King Aurthur, Merlin the Magician also fits the bill. There are some extremely demanding passages on that as well... 
Room acoustics in a former church sanctuary?
That place looks awesome. My wife & I just got back from Europe and of course did the church tour thing. We were extremely fortunate to hear four pipe organs playing while we were there. And the worlds largest in Passau Germany was off the cha... 
KRELL KCT preamp. FUSE BLOWN
I also have a KCT. Never even hinted at any issue. I would try to isolate the problem. Perhaps disconnect everything connected to the pre, unplug the unit, replace the fuse, plug it back in, then turn it on. The KCT goes thru a small boot up cycle... 
Sneaky new internet tax pushing through fast
I gotto go with yes on the tax. The folks working out of their home with a high-falootin' web site are closing the mom and pop stores in our town. The home office sellers pay no rent on commercial property, no sales tas, no use tax, no unemployemn... 
Simple & Cheap Way to Cut Turntable Vibrations
I actually put some of those Home-Des-Po felt pads under the stock feet on my Technics SL1210 and think they do a pretty good job as well. Isolated the shelf quite a bit.-John 
SHELTER - 501II CARTRIDGE on Technics 1200 Table
I went through 3 cartridges prior to settling on the Shelter on my SL1210. A Sumiko Blue Point Special, Grado Ref Platinum and one other I dont recall. The Grado was played through a Grado phono amp. I now use a Krell KPE reference phono amp with ... 
SHELTER - 501II CARTRIDGE on Technics 1200 Table
Good afternoon: I run one on mine and like it. This is after going thru a Grado Ref Platinum, Sumiko Blue Point and one other I dont recall. It replaced the Grado. It plays through a Krell KPE Reference preamp. Only mod Ive done on the turntable i...

Best "Giant Killer" Value Cables For...
I also like Triode Wire Labs for power cables. They work well, are extremely well made and do what they're supposed to. And you cant get any better than Pete for service.Oh yeah, made in USA. Good luck, John 
$10 vs $100 power plug
$1 plug to a $10 plug helped mine.When I opened up the plug boxes in my room the romex was not pigtailed to each plug. It went in one side of the plug then out the other two screws on the other side. I pigtailed each plug in the circuit, them put ... 
Sound is DARK / FORWARD / TRANSPARENT?
I like the post/question. You have to think so far out of the box to figure out the answer you'll be in another box."The bass was weighty, bassy, bloated & boomy? Hmmm, is this good or bad? Sounds more like the salesman at the old Paciic Stere... 
Static electricity Killin me.
I touch a corner of drywall to ground me out. The drywall has metal corner bead and will ground it out. Its right next to the system so I dont have to move and create more static.It was bad for a while, when I touched my Krell KRC2 it would send i...
