| New TT for ~$1500 I understand you want "new" and you have certain aesthetic restrictions, too. Allowing for that, I also endorse a used VPI HW-19. I have a Mk 2 with a Mørch UP-4 tonearm and I’m pretty happy with that combination and the turntable can be easily up... | |

| Psychedelic Get Down Party I'll amend my comment. According to ABKCO, "The Deep" released, "Psychedelic Moods" 12/31/1965 and - presumably - therefore it's the first to use the word in the album title. However, the Elevators formed in 1965 and were playing the Austin scene ... | |
| Psychedelic Get Down Party The 13th Floor Elevators certainly played and recorded all their music on acid and their 1966 album had the word "Psychedelic" in its title. They were preforming in Austin well before the album was released. Not to be pedantic, but the word was co... | |
| Ellis Marsalis dead from corona virus Ozzy62,"My thread" is nothing more or less than the full text of the notice appearing in "The Washington Post" yesterday. I know no more nor less from its contents than you do and I've read nothing else at all on the matter. | |
| Reasonable moving coil cartridge The Sumiko Blue Point #2 got the "Gruvy Award" from "Analog Planet" and garnered this positive review:"One of the least expensive moving coils I know of. Its high output (2.5mV) means it’s MM phono stage compatible but will give you a taste of wha... | |

| Futterman. Jump in? Or, not so fast... Eric,Thanks for the esoteric and informative news on NYAL. How do you know all this stuff? I’m wondering if Doug at Audio Specialties can fix it (provided I can get my brother to ship it to me from Chicago). Is it worth the cost?Keith | |
| Futterman. Jump in? Or, not so fast... I have a New York Audio Labs Moscode 300 (which I may wrongly think is connected to the originator of the Futterman amps) and it was super nice. For some reason, it stopped working and it's been sitting at my brother's house for about a decade. Ma... | |
| Adjusting speaker positioning. What, if anything, to expect? This is a very interesting and informative discussion! I wish that - like some other forums - the moderators could "flag" key exchanges so they can be easily found and consulted for future reference (but maybe they have done that already: if so, ... | |
| Sent Back the Pro-ject Turntable: What would be the best option in the $1800 range? Perhaps your needs can be best met in the used market: mine were. I bought a very, very nice VPI HW-19 Mk 2 for $500 from a local audiophile: in fact, it was cosmetically and functionally perfect. Of course, it did not have a tonearm or cartridge ... | |
| Home Theater Done Right: Millercarbon's System That must have been a prodigious amount of work! The turntable materials you've machined are really nicely done. |
