| What makes for a "great" turntable? It is my belief that the price asked does not always indicate the quality of the turntable, or any other component for that matter. What does make some products standout from others is the philosophy of their designs. Everyone knows that the audio... | |
| Single plinth for multiple table/motors T-Bone said, "Mosin, assuming different mechanisms require different sorts of tuning, how does one acquire the knowledge to know without a huge amount of experimentation what the best starting point is for a particular mechanism?"This is a good qu... | |
| Single plinth for multiple table/motors T-Bone, you almost lost me there with all the switching around, but if you do a plinth right, I believe it would be really hard to pull off. The reason is because different mechanisms require different sorts of tuning. Different top plates resonat... | |

He takes PayPal, his prices are right, his shipping is fast and well done, and he can be trusted. Some of the better ones he... | |
| Who R U? My name is Win, and I am a nineteen year-old trapped inside a fifty-eight year-old body. I build heavy turntables that I cannot possibly lift, and maybe I'll build one for myself one day. My wife is pretty cool...sometimes. ;) | |

| Would Like To Hear From Strain Gauge Owners Raul,I don't know about the speed of the table that Chris builds, but mine sends a signal that is accurate to around one part per billion, and the idler wheel tracks within its theoretical limits, but that isn't the point. The point is that there ... | |
| It is 5 AM, Do you Know where Mikey Fremer is? I would say that by Michael Fremer's apparent knowledge of music, he listens to it a great deal. Also, being able to go home and possibly pull a record that you just heard someplace else is most likely a valuable asset, especially if you review th... | |
| Allaerts down-repair or ?? I would send it in for repair, but it may be time to obtain a nice backup cartridge. There are some really good ones around that won't break the bank. | |
| My First Turntable Jdfelice,The 6.2 is a full function preamp, so you should be hearing music. Take it off of the straightwire setting, if you have it there, and see if you hear anything. Double check the cable connections on the preamp, too. If that doesn't get any... | |
| Reason for buying old/classic turntables Mike is right. Belt driven turntables have issues to overcome due to inherent belt creep that belie their apparent simplicity. That is not to say that a good belt drive cannot be made, however. As you are aware, there are several exemplary ones ou... | |
| 10 Levels of Turntable Mastery "Technics SL-1200 owners that may come in at a TML 8 or 9"That is a perfect example of an oxymoron, if ever I saw one. A person at one of those levels would be long past that choice, and he would know why. | |
| Would Like To Hear From Strain Gauge Owners Hi Slowhand,First, I have heard the Soundsmith Strain Gauge in a show setting, and also in the private residencies of a couple of people. In all cases, I found it to be very engaging. Would you like it? I believe so, but somehow you are going to h... | |
| Rubbing sound fromTechnics SP 15 platter Bent spindles and thrust plates are not uncommon in the SP-15. Hopefully, yours aren't, but it all depends on how they have been handled. | |
| Best bargain find ever ? I once found a perfectly original Marantz 7C for $35. |
