SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ?
@rauliruegasIt would seem, that you have in your post, managed to reduce all who love listening to music to mindless sheep who have no concept of reproduction, or the validity of their ears when it comes to what they like to hear. Clearly, we are ... 
Brand new to vinyl: Help!
Agree with the "don't spend money" logic.I resurrected my 28yr old TT before I dove into vinyl. Bought a Nagaoka MP-110 and installed it. (Had to, because the old Shure was dead). Did the adjustments to the TT/arm/cartridge. Bought a good pressing... 
Brand new to vinyl: Help!
+1 reubent.I would suggest picking a recording that you are very familiar with, research what is the best available pressing of that particular recording and buy a new copy of that to use for your "reference" piece. Pretty much everything ever mad... 
Brand new to vinyl: Help!
Hi.If you have an hour and 20 minutes, this is worth watching...Recently returned to vinyl, and it was a rough start. After much fussing and trial and error, its working wonderfully and was well worth the effort.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQD... 
Roger Waters Amused To Death
Love this album. Sadly my copy is all scratched up, and because of the quiet moments, its full of cracks and pops. May need a new copy... Guitar solo by Jeff Beck on "What God wants, God gets Part 3", is quite possibly one of my favorites of all t...

Zerostat: Old is Gold?
@uberwaltzThanks.I'm sure it could get "dramatic" if one of the units failed...One would think it could work?The nice part is it should be able to do multiple records at the same time.Clean - Dry - Remove Static and into Mofi sleeves.When/of I get... 
Zerostat: Old is Gold?
Hi,As winter is here, and the air is crazy dry, static is causing me much grief. Using the Milty seems to help, but the RCM (Okki Nokki) is adding unwanted static on top of a carpeted room. Humidifier is running 24/7 - with some benefit.I've been ... 
Tonearm or Turntable...
Thanks!i would love to get a Loricraft, but I am going to pu an Okie Nokki for now. Ill look at the Nottingham! P 
Tonearm or Turntable...
Hi Inna and Tom,Thank you for your thoughts.My original thought was to look after the speakers and cartridge first, but agree that amp may not be a good match for them, hence starting w the TT/Arm.The cartridge is the concept MM. Very basic... Dec...
