| Support table or shelf for turntable Thanks everyone for the valued suggestions. I’ll study up in more detail all the notes kindly supplied. Thanks.A few points to clarify:Remember the new rig will (hopefully) be a rebuilt 401 in a slate plinth.The issue I’m facing is that when I kno... | |
| Support table or shelf for turntable @islandmandan Thanks Dan. I’ll look into your suggestion. Although, with the new slate, when it arrives in a few weeks, I was hoping for something less massive and "constructed"... trying to keep it simple. Taut and rigid. The good news is that I ... | |

| Amp fan cooling without dc current in the 110 line Power fan with rechargeable batteries. Agree that amp shouldn't be in cabinet if ventilation is poor. | |
| DIY power cord / cords - really good As atmasphere pointed out, solid core cables are not legal for sale. That is mostly why you need a power cord in the first place. So why not run the in-the-wall run cable directly to your distribution gang or directly to your device? | |
| Upgrading Turntable suggestions Put an idler like Lenco L75 or Garrard 301/401 in a good plinth with a Jelco 750 arm. (Don't use those hollow plinths on eBay) | |

| Is there a better integrated amp than the Cary SI-300.2d for the money? Line Magnetic 518. Oops, not solid state. I just can't do non tubes! The LM is a cracker. | |

| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening $15-20k is a lot to spend on not knowing what equipment to buy and having an old stereo as your reference. Is there a dealer nearby where you could get better acquainted with newer gear? | |
| Moving a 5,000 vinyl LP collection safely +bdp24. I shipped my collection overseas in taped plastic totes without any issues. | |
| Music Hall MMF 5 Arm Change? Try this rehab: Focus on one excellent rig. Get rid of it all and use the funds to get a refurbished Garrard 401/301 or Lenco L75 in a good plinth, a good tube phono/pre like a Croft Micro etc. You know the drill but haven't made the leap. ;-) |
