| idler rumble, heat, and record wear--a connection? I figured it was motor heat. If it is indeed anything to do with friction in the bearing generating that much heat, it's new bearing time. Maybe the bearing or the ball bearing is toast and the rumble is coming from there. | |
| idler rumble, heat, and record wear--a connection? Replace your idler wheel. I wouldn't say the warmth will cause any problems. Is the ROK in a massive plinth or a box? | |

| Best Budget Turntable & Best Overall Sound System I knew a guy once who so loved the warm sound of his Grundig tube radio that he couldn't bear listening to his Well Tempered/Ortofon SPU/active tube Acoustat ESLs despite the fact that the LPs sounded an awful lot better. He just didn't like the d... | |

| Cables more hype than value? Open question: what sounds better? All other things being equal, NM10/3 copper coming directly from the breaker box and terminated at the amp/source in an IEC plug OR NM10/3 terminating at a good quality recepticle with a $10,000+ power cord? | |

| How Many Turntables Have You Owned An ancient automatic thing hooked up to a tube pilot receiver, Dual 505, Thorens 318, Linn LP12 Valhalla, Rek-o-Kut B12H, Garrard 301 with Grace 707 arm. Currently a Garrard 401 with Jelco750L. Still have and rarely run the LP12. | |
| Cables more hype than value? Indeed we do live in an age of excess. And irrationality. And psycho-OCD. I remember seeing a Peter Belt demo of the little foil triangles. I heard an improvement! The thing is, there is no way putting tiny foil triangles on the windows could have... | |
| Cables more hype than value? $5000 for 6 feet of power cable?! My entire rig cost that! Just dump the wall outlets and run the NM10 to a home made distribution box using hospital grade outlets and hook your gear into that. Or hard wire everything doing away with sockets and c... | |
| Is the Eico HF 81 really that good? Can't speak for the HF81 but my HF35 6L6GC monos with new caps are outstanding. Lovely musicality, timbre, and delicacy and decent clean articulate bass. | |
| What is the Phono stage you have finished with? Manitunc, I hear you. I guess I would have to hear it to be swayed to step up to the plate. I can buy a lot of records for that upgrade! | |
| Which components knocked you out on first listen? Of all the different systems I've heard, the component that made the biggest impression on me was the original Croft Micro driving a refurbished (by me) Leak Stereo 20 blowing away a very expensive Naim NAC/NAP250 set up. | |
