| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @dover i am starting to wonder if the la platine doesn't lose alot of its "musicality" with a more driving motor. i haven't attached a garrard 401 motor to it (yet) but with the tt3 belt (tight coupling compared to thread) i heard a propulsive so... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @ledoux1238 thanks for your words. i have had some advice from a very experienced la platine user on WBF (@mtemur) and so things may change. also i am currently ill and this affects my hearing. it is just cold so a day or 2 and it will be fine... | |

| What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs? i used as good a power cable as i could on the s510 and it improved with it. it also loved isolation. imo alot of noise is around the bass frequencies and so removing power line noise is a priority and so is using a litz power cable that reduces... | |

| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? i was digital and had spent a big dollar and then got into vinyl for one tenth of the cost (initially, no about one third maybe) and double the pleasure. only the actual music costs more but i get to listen to stuff i actually like rather than ja... |
