Whats on your turntable tonight?
Cello/Larry and Nrchy, I have 3 copies of It's A Beutiful Day. Such good music and very well recorded. I use it as a reference when trying different cables, components, etc. Another favorite is Mark Almond's "In the City" remember that one? Reall...

Can you imagine a world without vinyl?
Zaike, I say this with fond affection, no disrespect.DO take Johnnantais seriously, if not personally. I did, and I am once again a vinyl addict! His efforts to enlighten us to what is truly in the grooves has kept me busy (and off the streets, th...

Looking for turntable for under $1000
Bob, Not sure where you live. If you can find someone with a Lenco in your 'hood, or even a hundred miles, it will be well worth the time and trouble. I've seen Well Tempered, Nottinghams, Regas, Music Halls fall to the DIY Lenco within the last 1...
