Do it! Stop talking about it... 
Heavy Kit / Power Supply upgrade for Nottingham?
Hey, Ken Caterham is alive! Hmmm, I'm going for a power supply upgrade for my TT next month, GW. I would look at Ridgestreetaudio's system before you think of changing amps. He's got a pair of heavily modified SE-40's and made his own TT. Robert m...

The system sound outstanding and it was perfectly matched. Yeah, right. Vader, if you ever come to Toledo I'll have my humble system ready for you--as well as the paramedics.Newbie, you are a newbie. Vinyl rules in my system. My belt driven CD tra... 
Anyone heard the Micro Seiki DDX1000?
Here's your mental issue: "It is a direct drive table so I am hesitant about buying it..."What, if any, does that have to do with quality? 
Why can't I hear 20 years of phono 'progress'??
I do not see any major improvements in analog over the past twenty years. Not in TTs and not in cartridges that are geared for the MAJORITY of audiophiles. Perhaps the Shelters offer something different, as the Japanese love to tinker around, but ...
