| New favorite VINYL Album? allan toussiant--bright mississippi. Captivating album that highlights the man's talent and the magic of vinyl. it replaced my david gilmour live in gdansk as my current new favorite | |
| All Maplenoll owners StanwalNeat response, as these tables are not plug and play. However, the ariadne signature and apollo tables are really some of the finest systems to recreate the magic in the grooves. Some people have tried these tables and given up due to the i... | |
| The pivoted arm experiment is over dear Lewm, I was hoping that Mepearson may have observed differences in cantilever deflection since he was using the same cartridge on the same table. I have sat in front of my table for several records watching the stylus to see if I could observ... | |
