| Analog vs Digital Confusion Buying used can be a good choice even a low buck table to start, as long as its functioning properly. If the table looks well cared for and you verify that the phono cartridge is attached and aligned properly then you are off to a good start. Then... | |
| I can't part with it; what should I do? I recently came across a Pioneer PL-10(very similar to your PL-12). Its specs showed nothing special but in real life playback it was a decent little turntable. It was in excellent condition and has since gone to a nice home.If you cannot store th... | |
| SACD vs Analog Whether one stands up for SACD over vinyl or not, SACD has one serious detriment, lack of program titles. The library on SACD is tiny compared to what one can find on vinyl. 33.3 goes back to the late 1940's, stereo LP's go back to the early 1960'... | |
| interesting article about turntables and vinyl Mapman.I agree about the visual look of a record spinning on a turntable. Sure the fidelity is what we most want but the look and such of the record on turntable set up has a coolness to it.Tape is sorta similar, Reel to Reel machines also look co... | |
| best way to go rca analouge or optical Connect them both ways and then do a listening test to see which sound you prefer more. Run with the sound you like best. There is no right or wrong way in this regard, it's all subjective to your listening tastes. | |
| Choosing between Reissue and Original pressings Original copies today can be a 'pot luck'. Even if the vinyl LOOKS good to the eye under good light it may not playback well. Groove damage by an improperly set up cartridge or a worn stylus is not able to be seen under even good light by the nake... | |

| Rega or ClearAudio Turntable I think either turntable you noted will play records beautifully. It's a very subjective choice. One note, Clearaudio has a Performance DC with Verify arm in the $3000 range now. That in terms of dollars will be a match to the RP8.If you want to s... | |
| High End Hi-Fi like Drugs High end is always cool to any audio buff or audiophile. But the coolness of this hobby is getting best value for the buck. One can achieve good hi-fi even on a modest budget. Sure we can drool at high end but boy it's a great smile to get great f... | |
| What turntable, $500 or less For those of you who may like the new Project Carbon, you can by paying extra get the Acrlit platter to swap out the standard metal one and thus any issues with a MC cartridge would be eliminated. The Acrlit platter goes for around $130 U.S. thoug... | |
| Turntable That Can Automatically Replay A Track? FYI, The ADC Accutrac was a key part in a 1970's Columbo murder mystery.In fact numerous Columbo episodes showed in film or featured hi-fi gear. I wonder if Peter Falk or a member of the production team were hi-fi buffs? | |
| Adding a second arm to a Rega P3-24, Question. Yes, I was thinking after more careful looking at the P3-24 plinth that maybe fabricating a solidly mounted armpod that would all me to affix an arm in a suitable way as a thought. Doing this would save rack space in not having to have a 2nd table... | |
| Adding a second arm to a Rega P3-24, Question. Taking a closer look a second arm probably would not fit properly on the deck. The P3-24 is a rather diminutive deck. As to Elizabeth's response, I agree with her that doing such would limit resale and though I do not consider a P3-24 as a "cheap"... | |
| The Best Way to Clean Records Once completely dry the wood glue pulls off easily. It will leave no residue. If bits do break off and stick you just ball up some of the glue you have in your hand and dab it on top of any remaining bits. They will attract to each other. If you w... | |
| The Best Way to Clean Records There is nothing dangerous to using wood glue. It's based on the same general chemical structure as the vinyl LP is. It just takes painfully long for it to dry to be peeled off easily. It's one way and IMO a rather expensive way to clean vinyl LP'... |
