| Turntable help/recommendation with specific setup We all have opinions and nobody is necessarily right or wrong. That's why this is such a fun and personal hobby.

| Turntable help/recommendation with specific setup +1 for the Rega P6. Put a very nice phono cartridge on it, of which several good choices are mentioned above, and you are well on your way.

| thoughts on the bose 501 speakers "No highs, no lows, must be Bose"As an audio retail sales person and store manager back in the late 70s, that was how we would describe them. We sold them, people wanted them, but not by any of us in the industry. | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Ringo Star 'S/T' Had to play this again before refiling it. Yes 'The Yes Album' Friday Music 45 rpm reissue. There are some very minute details that I never really heard on my original copy. Best I have ever been able to follow the bass line... | |
| heat I use covers for each component when not in use. Easily removed for playing time and easily put back into place after playing time (but only do so after the equipment has completely cooled down). In order to have a nice look of fit & finish,... | |
