JVC TT101 QL 10 PLINTH ISSUES
My friend - the seller packed it like an idiot in exactly the opposite way you said - but ups have their hand in it too - contributory negligence. All said and done it’s all good now after good TLC. The risk you take with someone that doesn’t know... 
JVC TT101 QL 10 PLINTH ISSUES
You will laugh at this. The arm it came with is an audio technica at12 that was mounted 15mm too close from spindle to pivot - god knows how he aligned the cartridge... New arm board I guess. 
What Sonically is the Difference between a $1,500 CD Player and a $10K-$25K One?
I went to a demo by the guy from stereo magazine in the padoo room and he did proper back to back comparisons of the same recording cd v vinyl. Vinyl sounded better to my ears. He explained that when a stylus moves in a groove it is like the thick... 
Best cheapo Cartridge
@rauliruegas when you speak of the top cartridges I agree with what you say - that said the designer/maker tends to consider the whole cartridge package - not just one part in isolation.Out of interest - which carts do you know use a dl03 motor? 
Turntables and Trusting Online Reviews
Not sure about you guys, but if you read old Martin Colloms reviews - he did not pull punches although he has a Linn champion. If you speak to reviewers at shows you actually get the best/most honest info. Alvin Gold wasn't too bad back in the day...

Should an amp have a "personality"?
I heard a demo of live unamplified vs recorded of the same musician back to back at an fm acoustics demo and was taken aback with how warm and how much body live music has. Don’t be scared of a bit of warmth. It’s amazing how easy one can fall int... 
How much difference will a phono stage upgrade make?
The op’s question is not so much is something better than the Manley - but if it will be a worthwhile and significant upgrade. IMHO when you have a jump in the price of a component you can and ought to expect a jump in sound quality as well - it m... 
The truth about why modern music is so awful.
I tend to agree with most of what the man said, although I personally think the Beatles are over-rated. It is, I'm afraid, the steady march of commercialisation of everything - food - music - you name it. Instant gratification is the unfortunate n... 
Tidal and MQA
@anotherbobSo you're saying the MQA was better than 44.1? Interesting - so are you saying this applies to streamed music? did you do a back to back with your actual CD player?I am still baffled how it is that digital replay can be so different - I...
