| New to the black plates- looking for TT at 3K If you are looking for something compact, try a Townshend Rock 3. this is a very compact turntable, heavier than it looks with superb sound quality and can be purchased used with arm and decent cartridge for well under your budget. | |
| New to the black plates- looking for TT at 3K The VPI classic is a no brainer choice, pretty much set and forget and sounds great. A Sota Sapphire would be a good choice in a suspended table or a used Sota Star so you could get a vacuum platter. A very nice used choice would be a Oracle Delph... | |
| New Giant Television The Mitsubishi 84" DLP is awesome. dont worry about the 3d add on. doesnt really increase the price, and you dont have to use it. 3d in DLp is easier than with lcd. | |
| Great lost lps...the 80s....synth pop and others.. this thread has reminded me why I dropped out of the music listening habit during the 80s. I dont know about 95% of the bands named | |
| Simaudio 110LP vs PS Audio GCPH, others under $600 My GCPh is close enough to my SimAudio LP5.3 that it is a tossup, so I would assume it is quite a bit better than the 110lp. | |
| Noob with unusual maybe, what do I know? issue. Does your table have a ground wire, and if so, is it hooked up to your receiver or phono amp. | |
| What defines a good tonearm So Mikelavigne, what do you think is the current state of the art in unipivot arms and why? And Lewm, the same question to you for fixed pivot arms. And is there an arm in either camp that you think gets it all wrong. These last few posts have bee... | |
| What defines a good tonearm lewm and MikelavigneThanks, finally a response that answers my question. I do believe that a unipivot has the most potential, and now that the azimuth issues are being addressed, I expect they will only get better. It seems to be an elegant, simpl... | |
| What defines a good tonearm I am not asking for what is the "best" tonearm, as that is a much too subjective question, as the responses in any thread you look at on this forum would reveal. I simply believe that there are certain goals that all tonearm designers are trying t... | |
| What defines a good tonearm Sorry Stanwal. I dont buy your argument. So I guess we can agree to disagree | |
| What defines a good tonearm Stanwal,That would also be Plato's ideal that we could all just sit around and have all this equipment available to audition and make our own decision. We dont. So another option is just to keep buying $4000 tonearms until we find one we like, but... | |
| What defines a good tonearm Stanwal,Don't misunderstand me, I think the ingenuity and craftsmanship that goes into something like a triplanar or graham or schroeder or any of the other high end arms is well worth the money spent. Much like sophisticated medical or lab equipm... | |
| SME 309 and SOTA Sapphire - Cable & Cartridge Help I run an SME 309 on my Sota Star with great results. I use a Dyna 17d2. The 309 will fit on the Cosmos board and it has enough clearance for the right angle cable mount. I would use the Shelter as the SME has a very neutral sound on the Sota, but ... | |
| What defines a good tonearm Stanwal,And I guess thats my point. I mean, there are DIY unipivot arms on the web using knitting needles with material costs under $5.00 that are being touted as being more than acceptable, so how much more does it cost to make a great unipivot t... | |
