| Pigskin or jico leather mat Thanks @pindac @noromance but I specifically want the mats I specified because I have a JVC ql10/ tt101 . JVC made a pigskin mat and they are either unobtainable or silly priced - almost as much as the deck @halcro is a seasoned JVC user ha... | |
| SME is selling tonearms again! Glanz B series went up £500 I the space of about 4 years in the UK. So much for the benefits on the world stage Brexit brought us | |
| SME is selling tonearms again! @jasonbourne52 price adjustment wise audio has gone up in price exponentially. The SAT turntable I think is even less justifiable than the arm because it is a re-plinthed Technics - sorry if anyone disagrees - but it is. I don’t have such a probl... | |
| SME is selling tonearms again! @pindac interesting points which make sense. As to the SME price hike together with everything else god knows. SME were reassuringly expensive but now??? I have heard great things about the Audiomods from multiple sources and the various Re... | |
| SME is selling tonearms again! @clearthinker Thanks - you must be old grandad 🤣 I am talking about market share and fashion... In the 90's the high street rid its stores of vinyl and you had to go to places like reckless records to buy vinyl. I think in the last 10 years (c... | |

| The past meets the future @williewonka you said: ’ more new sytlus profiles have been developed than at any time prior to the advent of the CD More cantilever materials have been employed to improve cartridge performance More retipping services are now available t... | |
| SME is selling tonearms again! If the new 3009 and 3012 were the R version I might consider getting one because used they are extortionate. since vinyl became fashionable circa 2007 Hifi - mid/high end has become ludicrously expensive. There is no logic to it either. In the pa... | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 @drbond @lewm @rauliruegas are always disagreeing over something or other - lol if you must by tube try a Tron. Supremely musical. Graham Tricker makes some very fine valve gear (and i don't like valves). I think they have 2 inputs. I dont ... | |
| SME is selling tonearms again! @noromance Its a guy called Ajay Babauro shirke. I spoke to a someone who was a former UK importer who knows him. He also has a hand in Spendor. | |
| SME is selling tonearms again! @photomax and @has2be totally agree - ridiculously over-priced. SME was taken over by the man behind Padood - an Indian multi-billionaire. I think they don't have the same steady approach - ie bought Garrard. The Model 60 and now the bizarre de... | |
| Inexpensive Good Vintage Turntables? @petg60 I bought/have an Amazon Model one which the uK dealer said was the closest thing to the PT Anniversary. The Funk Firm n came out too late for me - I'd bought the Amazon - that's the closest to a modern version of the anniversary. Arthur ... | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 @drbond funny you say that about @rauliruegas - i always find my discussions with him to be very productive. It might just be he is not a fan of Ypsilon - I've never them. Please remember we all have our own natural prejudices - me I am not a f... | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 Please let us know which one you got and how it sounds because whilst I can’t afford your kinda high end I guess as the saying goes ‘a cat 🐈 can look at a king 🤴!’ 😆 | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 @pani never knew that about the low gain - I guess you are then forced to get a full FM amplification chain £££$$$€€€ 😂 @drbond i have heard some CH precision at a show and found the set up a tad cold The constellation is probably voiced like m... |
