| Sansui SR929 Turntable Jeffrey, There is a Sansui 929 on ebay right now with a Sumiko tonearm. So that answers the question, Yes you can change it. | |
| Sansui SR929 Turntable Hello Jeffrey,Honestly, it would be a quite a job. The Sansui arm is no slouch. It is finely crafted and very capable. That being said, you could probably remove it and install another. Myself, I use a Dual 1229 and installed a Grace 747 tonearm w... | |

| Mono Problem? Al,You are spot on! This is a secondary table that I am using and the headshell wiring is incorrect! I am stunned that I never noticed before, as I use this system for background music in my home office. All is good. (its been like that for years)... | |
| Reason for buying old/classic turntables Lithojoe,I never said anything about enjoying erroneous or useless information, in fact I can't stand it. I can take heat and a good argument. However, when it comes to insulting one another, I have no place in my life for that type of dialogue. I... | |

| Reason for buying old/classic turntables Audiofeil,"Any fool would know that.Even J____. Who doesn't have a clue btw/"We should be kind and respectful to one another. Why do you always have to put some type of degrading remark towards someone in your comments? This is supposed to be a ki... | |

| Reason for buying old/classic turntables Audiofeil, Wrong! My father is a machinist. I have seen him create some of the most incredibly precise parts, with tolerances in the ininth degree from old presses, and lathes using extremely old hand match machine calipers. You don't think that T... | |
| Linn Sondek Isolation Headsnappin,My Dealer was a (is still) a Linn dealer. I bought new, and the dealer spent nearly six hours setting the table up the first time. After that, the stand came into play. A few months went by and then the upgrades started. Now I know tha... | |
| My First Turntable The Dual is a nice little belt drive turntable. I would immediately receommend a new belt and oiling the plattter bearing. I don't believe that these turntables came packaged (at least not from Dual) with any cartridge. Not until the late Dual/Ort... | |
| Best Integrated Amp Of All Times? I really liked the McIntosh MA 6100. It did everything just right. I would be happy today if I still had it. | |
