| Having trouble reducing the vibrations on my turntable setup I highly recommend (via my own experience) the Symposium Acoustics products. They make a platform specific for turntables and to solve the very problem that you describe. It's called the Segue ISO. There are several standard sizes to choose fro... | |
| If Cables Are Not Tone Controls... jperry has it correct. I found the exact same thing as he did. As I moved up the line I continued to find a more quiet and black background. Not a tonal difference, but a better transfer of signa. The better the cable the less intrusive it is ... | |
| General question on Carbon fiber tonearms versus aluminum I too had an Infinity Black Widow CF tonearm. It was by far my least favorite of the tonearms I have had over the years. Always seemed rather lifeless, dull, lacking dynamics. Others have said the opposite about that same tonearm. It all depen... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? @big_greg Thank you for the information. I will inspect both discs very closely before playing. I'm reserving Saturday night for the first play of Cafe' Blue. Late in the evening, a couple glasses of wine, should be perfect! | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? @big_greg Just yesterday I received my copy of Cafe' Blue Impex 1-Step, also purchased from Elusive. I have not yet played it. Is there something I should be aware of and looking (listening) for that would warrant a replacement? Please let me ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bdp24 +1 I agree with your assertation 100%. And, I also buy high quality reissues, with the same fervor you expressed. Absolutely, some of my very best sounding vinyl.Speaking of, I should seek out a copy of The Yes Album, Steven Wilson remi... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Moody Blues "To Our Childrens Childrens Children" Bought this used last week, had to play it again yesterday. Very clean LP and surprisingly good SQ (for Moody's albums).The Electric Flag "A Long Time Comin" I had this in 8th grade and forw... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bkeske I have a copy of that Joni Mitchell album, Don Juan's Reckless Daughter. It's a Japanese pressing with the OBI sleeve. It's a great album, musically, and the sonics are outstanding. If your copy sounds as good as the one I have then yo... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw The production method uses 10 lacquers that only 500 copies are made from each, totaling 5,000 copies. At 2,104 it is highly likely that you have 104 from the fifth lacquer. I hope this makes you feel much better.😊 | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bkeske There is a reissue of Joni Mitchel "Blue" that is superb in every way; music, sonically, excellent vinyl. It was on backorder for months and I recently received my copy. There are probably more available, still, at Acoustic Sounds and ... |
