| SOTA NOVA, HR-X VPI, Technics 1200G recommendations? Mijostyn, I think you are a nice guy, and I enjoy sparring with you, but what does rankle me is your consistent tendency to draw scientific-ish relationships between or among disparate factoids that are very often not at all related as cause-effec... | |
| SOTA NOVA, HR-X VPI, Technics 1200G recommendations? Yes, if you insist upon using a "crappy" rack, the SOTA suspension will help. And if you have a lot of warped LPs, vacuum clamp or peripheral ring will help. Also, if you are testing nuclear warheads in your listening room. | |
| Channel imbalance with turntable playback Meantime it’s probably the room acoustics. | |
| Anyone here have experience with the Denon DP-35F? It’s the DP80 and the DA401 that are no longer available new from a dealer. If you find a Dp80 in good shape, and I agree it is a worthy pursuit, I advise you to have it serviced by a competent technician. If the DP80 has not been serviced since n... | |

| Teres Audio motor help! Sorry, I thought that the Redpoint, Teres, and Galibier turntables had a common origin, from a group of guys in Colorado and vicinity who started out to build their own turntables and ended up in separate businesses. Push come to shove, Thom Mack... | |

The switches for input capacitance on... | |
| The Wand turntable austinstereo and OP, Just to be clear, I am not recommending a change of cartridge based in any way upon the cost of the cartridge vs the cost of a tonearm. My point was in answer to the OP’s question which is in general about his interest in upgr... | |

| The Wand turntable Aqvox is very very good, by all accounts. What's more, isn't it one of the current-drive phono stages? If so, it would probably perform closer to its max if you used a lower impedance cartridge to drive it. I just looked up the specs of the BP2;... | |
| The Wand turntable I apologize for this comment, because it is beside the question you raised, but if you did purchase a turntable and tonearm or just a tonearm that was superior to what you already own, then in my opinion you would have to get a better cartridge in... | |

| Need help: turntable market in the $1500-$2000 range is overwhelming Depends very much on who did the refurbishing. Can be very expensive. On a budget, maybe it's best to start with an original unit and upgrade it according to that budget. | |
| Need help: turntable market in the $1500-$2000 range is overwhelming Yeah. Some direct-drive turntables are better than others. Just kidding, Russ. I really do agree with you. |
