| Help deciding which TT "As I said above, bicycle inner tube. But you seem to prefer anti-gravity guns and new turntables."I'm willing to give an inner tube a shot. I did try some packing air pockets under each of the three feet, and it really didn't seem to make much di... | |
| Help deciding which TT A quick update. I had the stylus sitting on a stationary record, and turned the volume up to the point where the subwoofer started to slightly pump and the sound (low level rumble) was just audible. I gently put my hands under each side and exerte... | |
| Help deciding which TT "Your sub is to loud, turn the volume down."Your probably on to something there. I have it set where I like it for digital sources. I can decrease the volume on the AUX input so I'm going to play with that.The wall shelf I purchase is not the Rega... | |

I have them placed in the corners ... | |

| Klipsch Chorus II or Forte II - Secondary system I've listened to the Forte's in the past, but it's probably been about 20 years or so. I remember listening to the Nirvana Nevermind CD when it was first released and thought the speakers had great punch.I agree about the 180 on sound style. The D... | |
| Wanting to get into Vinyl - Need help I've been looking at whats available here on Audiogon. There is a listing for a Denon DP1100 turntable w/sumiko mmt and custom plinth at $500. He'll include a Denon DL160 Cart as well.Any thoughts or better suggestions for something between $400 -... | |
| Wanting to get into Vinyl - Need help Thanks for your thoughts Honest1. I'll toss out a couple of my reasons for wanting to get into a bit of analog.I tend to agree with you on the digital aspect. Right now I have my entire CD collection ripped to a PC as WAV files using EAC. Since WA... |
