Well vinny55, that certainly explains why all the very best turntables are belt driven and why in spite of all these major developments in TT design the very vast majority of us still prefer belt driven tables. I suggest all you idler wheel guys g... | |
| Mono Recordings I just got the Duke Ellington Masterpieces disc and I have to admit that as long as I stay off axis it sounds great. I'm going to check out some of the older Miles stuff. I also have a lot of old Art Tatum recordings but they are on CD. I have not... | |

| Best Record Cleaning Fluid barbapapa, are you kidding me? Look how PVC is made. If everyone here was so concerned about the environment we would all stop buying vinyl immediately and toss our turntables in the garbage. I'm more worried about what we will make our records ou... | |

| Anyone use auto lifters? Opinions Thanx for the help. It seems like the AT unit gets the best reviews. It is also pricey at $129 amazon prime. The Qup is rather large and certainly will not fit on my SOTA. It might on the SME but I tend to us the SOTA more.There are several versio... |
