| Should I keep the Turntable or sell it? I'm not on the Audiogon Forum much. I get a weekly email titled Weekly Recap which has some of the top discussions of the past week, I guess.I was very intrigued by this thread because I've had a Bluenote Bellavista Signature turntable for about ... | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. @ orpheus10 Don’t really see how a R2R is much less trouble than a turntable. Once the table is setup it’s easy. Unless, you are anal and must make adjustments for every record you play. Pre recorded reel tapes are expensive. If you record on a R2... | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. I had an Akai Reel to Reel deck I bought overseas at a base exchange Rota, Spain in 1981. It was a fine piece and sounded fantastic. It even had a plastic dust cover that went over the reels.I sold it around '93/'94 for what amounts to peanuts. T... | |
| Pet Sounds: Most Overrated Album of All Time? For a while I kept trying to get into Pet Sounds but just can’t. I agree with others that the lyrics are insipid and I personally just can’t stand Brian Wilson’s whiny voice. I grew up with the Beach Boys. I’m 60 and have two older sisters who lis... | |

| Static electricity pulled the rubber mat right off the Turntable! I have wall to wall carpeting made of some kind of synthetic. The thing is, I have two turntables in the same room. The Dual and a Bluenote Bellavista Signature and that produces no static at all. Of course the platter is not aluminum like the ... | |
| Static electricity pulled the rubber mat right off the Turntable! I have a Dual CS-5000 that causes records to amass static. It has a grounded bearing/spindle but that doesn't seem to help. I replaced the stock mat with a Herbie's Excellent mat and this helped some with the static, worked better with the sound... | |
| Thorens Turntables I owned the TD-166 MkII. Belt drive, rosewood finish. I sold it and bought a VPI HW-19 Jr. Back then I was selling things in order to justify buying new equipment. I wish I still had that Thorens. The VPI not so much. | |
| Items for sale here and on ebay without remotes.... Yeah, I admit that I bought a Yamaha receiver at a garage sale directly across the street from me for $8. No remote of course. I was able to buy one on line at a decent price so the total cost was about $25. I’m not a surround guy but I still use ... | |
| Items for sale here and on ebay without remotes.... I'm no tin foil hat wearer but last I checked remotes don't have feet. They shouldn't just wander off on their own. It's amazing to me that people can't seem to hold on to them. | |
| Items for sale here and on ebay without remotes.... I’ve been lurking on this forum for about six months and this is my first post. I have to agree with the OP. Not so much on Audiogon but as far as Ebay is concerned I believe that a good percentage of items with missing remotes are stolen. Note: I... |
