A Big Thank you, to Albert Porter...from My Mother
Albert is a kool person. He sent my expensive cables on the honor system. He knew nothing about me. Just plain, old fashion trust.Thanks Albert!

Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II
"instead of building and testing, there is a bit too much theoretical discussions just going nowhere"Yes, Francois. Unfortunately, you are correct. Here's a question to the Lenco Brethren:Which is your best arm/cart combo with the mighty L75 repli...

Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II
Francois, Just joking. This is an excellent thread. Sometimes things get a little rocky. I am familiar with Lenco Lovers and it is fantastic! 
vintage turntables?
Chuckalator, Check out the Lencos in my system. The L75 is a superb vintage table with incredible stability. Stability translates musical dynamics, rhythm and punch. Beware: A table of this caliber will only lead to vinyl obsession. 
young and new to analog update
Get a new cartridge ASAP. Using a used, no history cart, might sound OK, but if it is defective, can damage your LPs. Look in the phone book under "stereo", tell them what you need. Don't buy a DJ cart. Should be less than $50. As to cheap, but de...

Amp for Verity Audio Sarastro

Rccc, How is it he can respond to my post, but I can't do the same to his?Are you the self appointed minister of this post?LOLBTW, I agree, it is (in) appropriate. 
Most popular TT upgrades: skeptical but curious...
Frank sm (small thinker?) Yes. That's all. Less than a days "work". A master woodworker builds my plinths.Once a table is complete, it will serve a lifetime playing incredible, dynamic music from the darkest lows to sparkling highs.I have been thr... 
Most popular TT upgrades: skeptical but curious...
