| entry level turntable You really need to state your budget for this but a used rega 2 or 3 would be a better option than a p1 or cheap pro-ject generally around the same price. you get your money out if you upgrade or abandon. make sure to get at least the rb250 arm, n... | |
| New 'Vinyl Flat' flattener? Did you check/feel to ensure the pouch was warm? Mine was intermittent heating at first. | |
| New 'Vinyl Flat' flattener? based on my experience, leaving it in the pouch an extended period, 8-10-12 hours will solve major warpage look forward to sonofjim's results....best chump change I ever spent on vinyl..... | |
| Tannoy Glenair 15? Thanks for your reply Mulveling. I'm really having trouble rounding up a pair to audition around Toronto. At the same time, at the price available there's not much risk if i dont love them. I may pull the trigger in the next couple of months. At t... | |
| New 'Vinyl Flat' flattener? Did you folks ever key up on flattening that record? | |
| Please Advise me on Building a System on a Budget For the Cd front end buy a Sony Playstation (Im serious), you'll have to look it up but there are raves on the older units for cd and I think you can nab one for $50 ish. Budget about $500 for the vinyl front end and buy the best used Rega combo y... | |
| New 'Vinyl Flat' flattener? Hey Roscoe, I'm in Canada, the shipping back and forth might prove problematic. I'd say pull the trigger. And thanks for addicting me to yet another artist I hadn't encountered prior.... | |
| New 'Vinyl Flat' flattener? Yeah, I'm not about to put a flat well-heard and cherished Bluenote in there to be absolutely critical, but I dont hear anything untoward in the few acoustic bits and quiet passages. I think we're alright here.....LOL | |
| New 'Vinyl Flat' flattener? The connection on the pouch needs a little fiddling but the third time is a charm. 2nd and 3rd efforts it was on all night, ie 8 hours plus each. Came out flat enough the last time that my Sota Star was able to seal the vacuum lip. I'm not familia... | |
| New 'Vinyl Flat' flattener? My problem may be the Pouch. It has been plugged in for about 4 hours, and when I went by just a few minutes ago, I put my hand on it and it was cool. Fiddled with the connection a bit and it started warming up.It was warm yesterday after I set it... | |
| New 'Vinyl Flat' flattener? My first attempt at 5 hours on a severely warped (it was unplayable)new 180 gram LP did not work. It appeared it may have improved somewhat but still pretty warped. So now it's in for a second run.... | |
| Just an anonymous "Thanks" Perhaps my 'point' was somewhat lost. A crying shame for a truly reference quality analogue source to go that way. I hate to think what you may have sold it for on Craigslist. I'm sure if you had asked here in the forums about disposal of it, you ... |
