| Tonearm suggestions for my Nottingham Analogue Spacedeck Looks like an upsell to me! Seriously, if you can upgrade to the 294, go for it. Isn't it outside your budget though? | |
| Platter wobble Fingers crossed. If it is, put it on a stable table on a sheet of granite and treat yourself to an Audio Technica AT95E cartridge. | |
| "You cannot handle the truth" Dealers' demo gear? | |
| Possible turntable upgrade.... I did have the opportunity recently to thump a SOTA and thump the stand upon where it stood, while it played, and it had no effect, impact, or disturbance upon the music. I've a concrete floor so I know not of the travails of those with bouncy flo... | |
| Possible turntable upgrade.... Crap, my Linn went on fire. Valhalla, smoke, smell, the lot. | |
| Bought some `Vintage Gear` @glupson Ha! While I have a good collection of older records which sound great, I have newer material which also sounds fine. It does not sound warm and slow but neutral and very fast with lots of detail and inner resolution. Bass is great but mis... | |
| UTurn Orbit or Yamaha YP D10 The Yamaha was a pretty top of the line table back in the late 70s and still commands a high resale price. The U-turn operates in a different market. Manufacturing and distribution costs mean that you don't get a lot for the relatively small outla... | |
| Possible turntable upgrade.... I heard the MW REAL at AXPONA and it sounded great. I thought it would sound "rubbery" and damped from reading about it but it was detailed and very clear sounding. Impressive and it was in use by a number of dealers. | |

| Possible turntable upgrade.... Had a LP12/Ittok for years and one day tried a beat up Garrard 401 with an inexpensive Jelco 750. It so changed the presentation of music that I couldn't go back to the Linn. Few years later, I now have two rebuild and somewhat upgraded Garrard 40... | |
| Alert, Warning, and Caution about Modified Components I like all the adjectives. Clearthink's post always give me a laugh. | |
| What are important features in a listening chair I had to put my chair up on 4x4s to get my ears at the center of the ESL point source hot spot. | |
| Bought some `Vintage Gear` Not a fan of Japanese 70s solid state multi-button integrated amps. Junkers most of them. | |
| Music room dimensions Golden ratio. Length + width divided by length = 1.618.20’ x 14’ would be a starting point. | |
| Tonearm suggestions for my Nottingham Analogue Spacedeck @uberwaltz I'd say try the Jelco 850S (I use and love the 12" 850L) but I'm curious about your take on the Audiomods. Buy it and let us all know if it's any good! |
