Clearaudio Concept - Used - Careful
Give a man a fish, he eats for a day; teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime.In other words - don't blame the turntable for your inability to set it up correctly. Surely you knew about the learning curve regarding vinyl. The 'plug and play' m...

APO Doors Reissues
Yup. I prefer the original die-cut/cellophane window copy I have. The 45RPM is a bit sterile and clinical sounding, lacking in emotion and life. I also find the bass to be somewhat bloated. The original has better spectral balance top to bottom an... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?

Alt-J: An Awesome Wave (LP...UK import). It's been stuck on my turntable for a couple of months now.

break-in--bane or boon ??

I've replaced several of these. Any national electronics supply house has them - DigiKey, Mouser, Newark, etc. There's nothing special about them, just your standard lighted power switch that costs around $4. Try this link: http://www.mouser.com/P...
