I am asking your opinion as to the best turntable
There are lots of great opinions and shared experiences here. I would really suggest that you try before you buy -- but I'm sure your already know that. Having said that, you might really want to consider the Origin Live line. While there don't se...

Danlib, thanks for the advice. If I add anything, I'll go thin -- don't need anything getting in the way of continued marital bliss ;-) 
Why Don't More People Love Audio?
Chadnliz, for a resume, I'd stick with "audiophile". For real life ... well, I guess we know what we are ;-) 
My grasp on audio gear....
Nice analogy. Out of curiosity, does she jsut add pieces or replace them to upgrade? ;-)

Acoustic foam to make a bed more comfortable! This thread has taken a fun turn. The Simmons site was also a hoot -- Sean, your talents seem endless ;-)Anyone ever try this? http://www.healthyfoundations.com/toppers.html

I hear, therefore I like. I guess I'll just keep pursuing nirvana as I hear it since I can't change my ears. This is a subjective hobby and opinions are always welcome, but must be judged by our own experiences. That's why two people can find "bes...

Cyndi Lauper & Tom Waits in Phantom of the Opera
Good one Rosstaman. I couldn't think of a more unlikely pairing and, once I read your thread, I really tried hard to do that. George Thorogood and Kate Bush?I'll see you at the show! 
This may be the duh of all time

New Turntable: Teres, Nottingham, Origin?

whom do i get to fix a ground loop hum?
Do you still get the hum if you unplug the cable from the wall outlet? 
New Turntable: Teres, Nottingham, Origin?
I love Origin Live. The design is very compact and the table produces both fine musicality and a wonderful combination of punch and detail. It's a table that makes me forget to listen critically. I'm not suggesting there aren't other fine tables, ...
