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...

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 +...

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. 
How am I frying all my amps? Oscillating? Help
Probably obvious, but did you try plugging amps into different sockets? If all amps developed problems from the same sockets, maybe something is wired incorrectly or there is a fault someplace. Just to be certain you've isolated suspect socket run... 
Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II
A Lenco lover who purchased one of my tables (replaced a Nottingham Spacedeck and Well Tempered), had a clamp custom built out of some strange, mysterious, expensive material. I was against the idea. Just think of all the LPs out there for all tha... 
What goes beneath your Nottingham?
May I suggest a Lenco? Sell the Not. All the $, weight, platforms, springs, balls and tweaks will not help to bring the magic of music from the grooves. It will get you close, but... I see the Nottingham, like W.C. Fields see's women- "nice to loo...
