| INNER GROOVE DISTORTION Joey, please get the version with the gimbal bearings! More than likely your problem is lack of anti skating. It could also be poor set up, turntable not level, etc. What you are doing is guessing. Guessing is not the way to set up a turntable. To... | |
| Setup Suggestions For Built In Speakers Throughout The House Lambsdread, your problem is wanting to play different programs in each location.

Do you wear ear protection when you run your chain saw? If you press the c... | |
| How good is the Micro Seiki DDX-1000 Direct Drive turntable ? I forgot to mention, as long as the dust cover is isolated from the turntable.

| Billy Cobham Question He sure is. Drummers as a group are very respectful of each other and go out of their way to help young drummers. Gavin Harrison and Jimmy Chamberlin also hold clinics. The one I miss the most is Tony Williams. | |
