| What tonearm will better mine? Chakster, nice set-up. Thanks for tge info. What improvements would there be over the Jelco with my Decca SG-P? | |
| Components I would have died for when I was a wee pup Any record player after I saw and heard my dad’s friend’s Philips Black Tulip quadraphonic? set up. Dad had no interest in a "music center" so we had no records in the house. | |
| Aggressive know it all salesman It's worse when you're treated to the snooty attitude by young junior salesmen when you knew more than they did before they were born, and whose exposure to music only extends to radio talk show jocks, Diana Krall and Jazz at the Pawnshop. | |
| Is the "standard" Linn Sondek LP-12 surpassed by newer turntable brands and designs?? DaveyF, in fairness, we have been comparing 80s LP12s with 60s Garrards! | |

| Please help ...integrated amp under $1200 There is a Croft Integrated on the 'gon for $1100. | |
| Dynaudio C1 compared to Harbeth Super HL5 plus? Not heard the Dynas. I have ESLs and heard the Harbeths. I do not think you would be unsatisfied with the HL5. Musical and detailed in areas of timbre and tonal color. Correct stands are important. You might prefer the 30.1 model though as it has ... | |
