Has anyone finally decided to sell their Turntable and Vinyl collection?
I have multiple LPs dating back to the late 1960s when I first bought many of them and a reasonable collection of classical albums, many of which (RCA "Shaded Dog", Mercury "Living Presence", Chesky, etc.) I inherited from my father. I've been for... 
Which Stands for Magnepan LRS (and other models): Mye, Magnariser, Sound Anchor, etc
I'll be following this discussion with interest. I recently (about 4-5 weeks ago) received my LRS and I'm eventually planning on replacing the supplied stands with something more substantial and - at the same time - enhancing the sound.Keith

Turntable leveling
ahh...the complexities of vinyl! In my case I have a Moerch UP-4 arm on a VPI HW-19 turntable. Thoughts on absolute level or not worth the exacting effort for this rig? I have about 1000 vinyl records, mostly vintage (Shaded Dogs and others of tha...
