| Is Spiking Necesarry? Kalali, put a 2x2foot concrete paving slab from Home Depot under speakers. | |
| Oswaldsmillaudio, ever heard of it. I heard their speakers at a show. While fairly pleasant, I didn't feel they were worth the high price. | |
| Quad ESL 57 with subwoofer I got a REL Strata 3 and it works well. I adjust it depending on recordings but for the most part keep it subtle. Definitely adds something to the Quads. I hope to buy a second one. | |
| Outdoor Garage Speakers The poor neighbors! | |
| Rotel RX-975 compatible with a moving coil cartridge? Yes. The MP110 is the best of the lower priced MM. Not saying there may no improvement, it’s just that the TT and arm, while reasonably good, wouldn’t do justice to the effort. Anyhow, the Denon needs a heavier arm to shine. | |
| Rotel RX-975 compatible with a moving coil cartridge? Only MM with that receiver. Not sure you'd be gaining much on that starter deck. I'd use a Nagaoka MP110 and get a separate phono stage. | |
| Koetsu surprise Nice. She's one in a million. Interesting info on the Koetsu. I wonder if you should try a harder headshell on the Jelco. | |

| Speaker Placement woes "then brushed my digit over the play button."Shudder. | |
| Anyone Using Crystals? If you believe in a god, you cannot criticize crystal folk. One belief is farther out than the other. | |
| Cartridge upgrade Replace the arm with a Jelco 750D and keep the cartridge. | |
| Isolation Feet for Garrard 301 wood plinth Be careful not to overload your bearing with increased weight of copper mat and/or brass platter. | |
| Jelco SA-750D or Rega RB250 Don’t be too worried about the Jelco collar comment. While I agree it is a good idea, it is not necessary. I run a Decca cartridge in mine and there are no tracking issues. | |
| Tannoy Prestige made in China? Ha! Some spot-on comments. I wasn't trying to disparage China-made products at all. I was more surprised that long established manufacturers making large, unwieldy and upscale loudspeakers were doing so in China and not the garden sheds of yore. |
