| Racks made of wood + 1 DeKayI read Ken's thread contribution and agree that flexi racks sonically, are just furniture. Mine included. However, from my own experience, spikes don't do much to eliminate mechanical feedback caused by wood suspended floors. Just saying.... | |
| Racks made of wood I built a DIY rack (maple/brass) that was fun, but not cheap. Since then, I've learned some things from experience about certain downsides. The rack is nice and high, so perfect for playing vinyl, as I don't have to bend over. Luckily, all the she... | |

| Looking for not too expensive Turntable I am eyeballing the Pioneer PLX-1000 (new) as there are some really nice reviews out there. I've seen it as low as $613, but I don't know what your budget is? Upturn Audio has an Orbit Special or Custom for less than the Pioneer that also has my a... | |

| Dad needs phono stage recommendation for daughter Does anyone know about the Music Hall PA2.2? It seems fairly new and at my daughter's upper price range, but it offers an a/d converter (24bit/96kHZ) plus a headphone amp. She has thousands of songs on her laptop and listens to music in her car. I... | |
| Hello, FM experts: What's the best type of outdoor antenna for my location? Clue50,I have found it difficult to pick one due to the scarcity of the choices these days which led me to th LP8. This indecision caused me to drop the ball, but getting a replacement is still lurking around in the back of my mind.I own the SE En... | |

| Dad needs phono stage recommendation for daughter Jond, those are a couple of great recommendations, but I think we'll be looking at new, because my daughter will need a little time to save up for the phono of choice. By then, the listings may be gone, so a question of timing.Yogiboy, I'm somewh... | |
| Turntable sounds so much better when... This is all weird, but...Maybe with the headshell tightened you are getting mechanical vibrations that you may not know about causing distortion. Loosening the headshell may be dealing with some of those vibrations. You may receive even greater ni... | |

If you're not sure, keep listening and spend the money to do so. For your price range, you will know what does it for you ... | |
| Preamp tubes ran their life? The control pots from the old days (I.e., Dynaco, Eico, etc.) were known to get dusty and make noise. Yup, you had to spray them. I would not think your Mac would have that problem, but I'm not familiar with it. If you move the volume control back... | |
| Preamp tubes ran their life? The NOS tubes in my phono stage have been sounding great for nine years now, so if it is your Mullards that seems short lived or a defect. Are the Mullards supposed to be NOS? Is it coming from both channels? Both tubes, both channels, same time, ... | |

If so, the phone jack itself may be jammed (stuck) internally in the aux m... | |

It is solid after assembly, plus you need to use the wall brackets that they provide for additional support and safety. Mine is black and up against a wall in the room rig... |
