| Ortofon 2M Black- Graham 1.5/Rega/Origin Silver DSA, The 2M black is on my radar as well. I am not a fan of MM carts, but the review in TAS has sparked my interest. Please share your opinions/review if you happen to get a hold of one. | |
| Amp for Verity Audio Sarastro My vote is the Joule Heaven's Gate tube amps. A friend uses these with his Verity Parsifals. To my ears, the band is in the room!!! Excellent timbre, the kick drum has depth and punch. Highs are sweet and clear. Midrange- ooh-la-la. The Veritys an... | |
| Most popular TT upgrades: skeptical but curious... 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... It's healthy to be skeptical. Why buy a table- and need another platter, bearing for the spindle, pucks, weights, clamps, mats, stands, custom stands and more isolation stands that go under the other two? All you have to do is buy a Lenco, take it... | |
| How do you ship large items? Help There is a site where you can have various truckers bid for your services- something like "freightbid.com"? Search for it. I sold 2 pairs of Avalons using this service and both worked like a dream.The seller ought to find someone (phone book) to b... | |
| What's a good beginner turntable at $2500+- range? Good recommendations above, BUT, the best for the $ is a properly plinthed Lenco L75. Once set, it's record after record. Glorious music, all night long! Your Avalons will agree.Belt drives cannot match the Lenco idler wheel for stability. This tr... | |
| Vinyl Frontend/Linn LP12 Question Hi Dodge, I looked at the Linn, Nottingham, Regas, and a few others. This was 6 years ago, but it was the Linn that started my search for a good-excellent front end. My neighbor has a Linn and a a fantastic LP collection. The search was on. Six +... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Oh yes! I have seen the Black Slate Beauty machined parts as they were made.The idler wheel doesn't use a shaft!I've been lucky enough to have seen photos of the complete table as well. I hope to hear this slate beauty, to compare with the Birch p... | |
| Has anybody listened to the new Doors LP set yet? Kurt and Electro, I look forward to your reviews. I've been extremely tempted to order reissues, but often disappointed at the quality (sonics). The first LP I bought - The Doors. | |
| Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green As stated earlier- SRV is the best IMHO- fluid, emotion, technique and never boring. However, Clapton has some real gems out there, especially in his drug and booze, broken hearted rage for Layla. Nobody knows you..., Have You Ever Loved a woman, ... | |
| What goes beneath your Nottingham? Shakey, I guess I ought to clearly state- I have never owned a Nottingham. I've listened to enough of them to know "...I wouldn't wanna have one". I would not say "only a passing acquaintance". I have played many LPs on 2 Spacedecks. Both use the ... | |
| What goes beneath your Nottingham? Shake yur booty-No, see W.C. quote. But I know 2 folks who did (replaced by the Lenco).On the Lenco thread, someone posted the question: what did you replace when you got a Lenco? I don't know if it was posted on the "baby thread", or the old mons... | |
| How am I frying all my amps? Oscillating? Help Honestly, I know nothing about electricity. To me, it's black magic. All I know is rain. But, my feeling is if you can simply use different outlets and the amps behave themselves, this is simplest test. Be certain it is a completely separate run o... | |
| I have a book recommendation for you all. Bikecommuter, This type of recommendation is what the internet is all about (a good deal once in a while is cool, too). Thanks for sharing your find. Will check it out. |
