Which stylus is correct for a Shellac LP
harrar, at the very least a mono switch may provide quieter playback with mono LPs if you can't afford a separate mono cartridge.The value of this may be argued but not all "mono" cartridges are true mono, some may be strapped internally.  You can... 
New home power protection?
Thanks to all who responded.  It is new construction, but also a condo so no exterior antennas or lightening rods.  There are trees nearby taller than the house but I realize that is not a guarantee the house might not be struck.I did order the wh... 
About to Buy a Technics SP-10!? Am I making a mistake?
best-groove, I don't speak/read Italian and am not familiar with the Melius site.  I clicked on English at the bottom but nothing changed? 
Does anything better Jelco arm ~$1000
chakster and lew, this goes back nearly a year, but I have a question on your counterweight stem discussion.A few years ago I bought a MS-505S.  That has a similar design where the stem is separated by a rubber cushion aft of the pivot point.  Onc... 
Atma-Sphere, Ralph Karsten
I'll admit to not owning any AtmaSphere components for a number of years.  But when I did Ralph did everything he could to offer the little support I needed (meaning not much came to question).Since then I've continued to be impressed by his openn... 
Tannoy Canterbury GR Placement in a 23' x 34' room with 12.5' ceiling
keith, pick up a copy of Jim Smith's book, "Get Better Sound".  Not only is that instructive for placing any loudspeaker, Jim personally owns Canterburys now. 
NAD 3020
I bought a 3020A more than 20 years ago to drive external speakers with my TV.  With the right speakers (many options I'm sure) it can still offer surprisingly musical performance.  Mine is stock other than replacing the speaker spring clips with ... 
Magnepan's new LRS?
gammonit, it was not my intent to pick on any dealer.  Merely to point out there could be opportunities for selling other components as Richard suggested.  
Why do cartridge manufacturers give a range for VTF?
t_e_p, how did you delete your post?Recently I posted a question, then the next day found my answer.  So I attempted to delete it but could not find a way.  No one had responded to it yet.  All I could do was erase the content and mark it "removed". 
Magnepan's new LRS?
Richard, there are posts by some close to Magnepan saying the new LRS was designed to work with higher grade electronics, unlike the MMG which apparently could reach its potential with most off-the-shelf receivers.  So there should be opportunitie... 
Magnepan's new LRS?
I remember the DR-9 as one of the better amps of its time.  However that was some years ago now and it may be worthwhile having it checked out in case any or the caps or other components should be replaced.You will likely have the potential for a ... 
Technics turntable inquiry about SL 1200 MK ll for DJ or home use?
chakster, was your quoted $9K for a GAE something you saw on the used market?  Do you know if it sold for that?The GAE was one of Technics initial offerings when they resumed TT production with significantly upgraded models.  Only a limited number... 
Recommend a Pass Labs amp for Dunlavy SCIVa
If John Dunlavy used Spectron amps for his development evaluations then I'd be surprised.  That's not to say it didn't happen, just surprising if it did.I owned Duntech Princess speakers for 19 years.  They were the older sibling to the DAL SC4 an... 
Great cheap LP's are still out there!
Sorry rookies, I saw Louie Armstrong and his All Stars live when I was about 10.  Let's show some reverence here! ;^)In other news, good finds bdp.  I have that Auldridge and it is a good one.  Actually I have lots of LPs from the '50s, '60s, and ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Most likely I should stand aside and try to ignore these recent comments and counter-comments, but I don't understand why they continue.  If anyone here has major issues with Raul then why are you reading and replying to this site?  If you have qu...
