| Whats on your turntable tonight? June Christy - This Is June Christy! (Capitol 1958 mono)Ahh.. real hi-fi recording. Pisses on new 200 grm crap. Buy it and you will know. | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive I replaced the bearing in my 401 idler and the improvement was transformative. So much so, that anyone with an original is not hearing what the table is capable of. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Cazzati, Fontana, Marini, Telemann / Gerard Schwarz - A Baroque Trumpet Recital (Nonesuch 1972)Solid recording and great music. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Rostropovič, Dvořák, Sir Adrian Boult, The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - Cello Concerto (His Master’s Voice 1958 mono)2nd & 3rd movements. Wow. Dynamics and tonal color in spades. Delicious. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Rimsky-Korsakov, Münchner Symphoniker Orchestra, Hermann Schneider, Alberto Lizzio - Sheherezade, Op. 35 (Zafiro 1977)Third movement, andantino quasi allegretto. Violin gets me every time. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I keep meaning to get a copy of Tusk. Heard some of it on the big Harbeth 40.2 and it sounded amazing. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Les McCann & Eddie Harris - Swiss Movement (Atlantic 1969)Following the last album played. Man, the difference between an analog recording and a digital CD reissued on vinyl. | |
| What other Hobbies or Interests Do You Have? The best thing about the SARS-CoV-2 virus is not having to commute to work. Three more hours for listening to music and closely monitoring Prime food delivery windows. | |
| SUT vs. Phono preamp So the price removes slouchiness? | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Brother Dege - How To Kill A Horse (Magic Bullet 2015)Redneck or Hillbilly?It's not bad. Lyrics are weak. LP is a little noisy. It just doesn't feel authentic. | |
| high quality turntable with built in phono at $1000? Any non-built-in-phono turntable you want with the tiny $129-$149 Schiit Mani phono amp. | |

| Old school vs new school audio??? Simplify things. Take the NAD out of the loop. CD > Macintosh > speakers. Replace AQ speaker cables with 14 gauge Romex. Does it sound any better? | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? It's Immaterial – Life's Hard And Then You Die (Siren 1986)Bought this when it came out. One of the great 80s British bands. Great recording. Buy this. |
