| 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! | |
| Bought some `Vintage Gear` @pawlowski6132 You can see the gear under my Profile/Virtual Systems. | |
| Bought some `Vintage Gear` Most of mine is refurbished vintage. Turntable is from 1966, cartridge 1987, power amps 1959, speakers 1960. | |
| Song (or music) you want played at your funeral. Albinoni/Giazotto - Adagio In G Minor Original Gary Karr version on full range rig. | |
| Question about background noise I have a few original recordings from Julie London, Ketty Lester et al and you can easily hear tape hiss stopping and starting between tracks and takes. This would often be removed when remastered. | |

| Tube Amps Watts vs SS amp It's most likely been already covered but a watt is a watt whether it is sand or glass. All other factors will influence how amps work in their installations but a Watt is the same no matter where it comes from. | |
| Does anything better Jelco arm ~$1000 @gpdavis1 I use the 850L and it’s very good. I have heard the Sorane ZA12 at $2500 and it is excellent. But now you are up there. You could also check out the Groovemaster ll at around $1850. These arms are best with low compliance cartridges.What... |
