| TW-Acustic Raven I would like to hear more about this Fickert table, as I have not heard of it. Does this manufacturer have a website? The TW-Acustic Raven Two is at the top of my focus list. I like the idea of a table that can take two arms, but does not take up ... | |
| Collecting Blue Note Jazz Well, I just received and played my first two reissues, Art Blakey & The Jazz Messenger and Tina Brooks / True Blue. Well, so far, these are the best sounding two sounding of my modest blue note collection...also quiet, and the LP covers are g... | |
| Platter Upgrade for Garrard 301 Lewm, Thanks. Well, Jonathan's advice makes sense, to focus first on getting in unit in great condition, then plinth, then power. Looking at how much all of this would cost (more than I had expected), it will be quite sometime before I could affor... | |
| Platter Upgrade for Garrard 301 Ok. Thank you very much. | |
| Good Sound Quality From 10 Inch Records? I will try to get a mono cartridge at some point, as you suggest. First, I guess, I'll get a turntable that can accept two arms, as I mostly listen to stereo. But I'll have to save up some funds for that. Other than reducing noise, what other adva... | |
| Platter Upgrade for Garrard 301 Hi Mike. I've read your review and look forward to hearing about your new plinth. I'm also very happy to hear from you, Jonathan. I think its great the you are working directly with Loricraft/Garrard. In fact, I already had a plinth, such as yours... | |
| It is 5 AM, Do you Know where Mikey Fremer is? Maybe 5%...mostly stuff I got for free, including a nearly complete collection of studio Grateful Dead stuff that I'm just getting into. I was pleasantly surprised when I finally got around to playing their debut LP. When I buy something, I typica... | |
| Good Sound Quality From 10 Inch Records? No, I'm not referring to 78s. Thankfully, I know enough to not to play a 78 RPM record with my Shelter 501 cartridge, as I believe it would risk damaging my cartridge and/or the record. I'm talking about, for instance 10 inch records by folks such... | |
| Collecting Blue Note Jazz I only aspire to own 500-600 albums in total, all of which I listen to enough to know pretty well, but not too well. I want to focus on getting the best sounding LP, with great music. If they don't sound great, might as well get a much more conven... | |
| Collecting Blue Note Jazz I've bought a few hundred LPs from ebay, mostly rated VG+. If not satisfied, I just ask for a refund. However, this is very inconvenient, and happens too frequently. Also, if someone accepts the return, I don't give them bad feedback, since I'm gr... | |
| Collecting Blue Note Jazz Well, the new music matters appear to have enough support here to be well worth checking out a few. I guess I'll end up trying multiple approaches, including some originals and some of the new 45 rpm reissues. On the mono vs. stereo issue, do mono... | |
| Collecting Blue Note Jazz I am familiar with Arthur Salvatore's site, a great suggestion for LPs with top notch sound quality, and equipment recommendations as well. He has a ton of recommendations, but leans heavily towards classical, with just a handful of mostly offbeat... |
