| What tonearm will better mine? Found this post and wanted to update it. Ended up upgrading a while back to a Jelco TK-850L 12". I covered my experience in another thread. Suffice to say, the 850 is in a different league than the 750. | |
| new york city audio show 2018 Agreed. Took the leap a while back because of you. My problem is how to store my 100% perfect grills! | |
| new york city audio show 2018 Unless you are in the Quad 57 sweet spot, it will and did sound muffled. | |
| Best wood under audio components? You should have included all the info in the first post!I use a 1 cm thick piece of solid walnut glued on top of the birch ply plinth for one of my 401 turntables. It sounds great. See systems. I use wenge for my armboards on the recommendation of... | |

| new york city audio show 2018 And... at the end of the day... just fired up my system. Buddy Tate Live at Sandy’s 1978. Better sounding than anything I heard at the show. | |
| new york city audio show 2018 Agreed. Hate that hotel (and we stayed there.) @robyatt Robin Wyatt’s room was fun with some great music and demos using mono recordings on a Technics SL10 Mk2 and Quad ESL57s. The highlight for me by far. Chad Nessem from Acoustic Sounds also dem... | |

| Pro-Ject Carbon DC Mat? Platter? Stylus? @jbalsor Let me know how it goes. | |
| Vinyl playback is still a secret Old thread of historic significance. Agreed @tzh21y It can be argued that my copy of The Lion's Roar by First Aid Kit sounds better than the freebie CD, almost all of my newer albums do not hold a candle to my old AAA 50s-70s albums. | |
| Anyone using the Pete Riggle Woody? Thanks @br3098 So when it "sounds great," it sounds as good as a Schick? | |
| Tonearms: Ripoff? @2channel8. The Jelco 850/950 is a significant upgrade over the Sumiko for little money. See my post about it. | |
| Tonearms: Ripoff? @rsfphil I rarely ever comment on politics and I apologise to others on this thread. Fox is not in the same league as CNN no matter how often trump says it. Fox is an entertainment channel bankrolled by the alt-right to further a nefarious agenda ... |
