Oracle Delphi Mk I motor and PS upgrades
Thanks Manitunc. I appreciate your reply. I have to wonder if a VPI/Basis motor will fit under the Delphi platter. It needs to be a specific height and the pulley has to align perfectly with the platter. I hate to buy something that won't work. My... 
can we still sort by zip code in items for sale?
I think what Lloyd is referring to is being able to search for items based on part of a zip code. You could do that in the previous site under "advanced search." It was great for buying local. Now it looks like you have to enter a complete zip cod...

Z phono or PP 2

It's hard to beat Canare 4S11. I found nothing to complain about when I was using them. 
Best "small footprint" speaker between $600-1000
Alon Model I fall in your price range. They are exceptional sounding and disappear effortlessly. They're petite at 9" wide, 13" deep, 38" high, yet have a surprisingly deep bottom end -- better than Arro or Sttaf. They sound particularly sweet wit...

What are the "must have" HD Tracks albums?
10-07-11: Richard_stacyLoving the remastered Nirvana Nevermind album, highly recommended.Richard, in my opinion, this type of music doesn't show improvements with HD. The intros to Come as You Are and Lithium are spectacular. I don't know if they... 
Best AV receiver if I also want very good music?
