| Repair or replace my Yes, you are showing your age and yes, you are a bit out of touch especially when you start comparing turntable prices from 35 years ago without accounting for changes in technology and price levels. The Rabco has the linear tracking tonearm, whic... | |
| Do you know why I would make the case that the records from the 70s and 80s were just as warped as anything produced today. I remember RCA Dynagroove records as the biggest offenders.Rich | |
| Arcam r-Cube Portable Any interest in this offering from Marantz ? The price certainly seems attractive.Rich | |
| McIntosh C26 - 1st to totally stump me in 37 years Any interest in contacting McIntosh or sending the piece to them for repair?Rich | |
| Putting together first system... clueless. Am I missing something or do you not have an amplifier yet? If you go with Maggies, you will need an amp with some oomph.If you do need an amp, you best bet would be an integrated amp with the $1-2k budget.The MF phono stage is a nice piece, btw. ... | |
| upgrade my amp? I looked at some of your other threads. Is this question referring to the system in your smallish (10 X 10) room in the row house where you need to play the system at low volumes? If that is the case, I doubt you are overdriving the speakers. It m... | |
| Cambridge Audio 651a vs. Outlaw RR2150 To continue from my last post, it seems you are in the $600 to $800 budget range. If you need a tuner, go with the Outlaw ($650). I do not know of any other moderately priced receiver that delivers as much as it does. Outlaw does run holiday sales... | |
| Cambridge Audio 651a vs. Outlaw RR2150 I think you are being a bit rough on Outlaw. There were problems with the original supplier of the RR2150 when the receiver was first introduced in 2005. Outlaw replaced the supplier and if you research their forum section for owners' comments abo... | |

| Remember the year and first vynil you ever bought? Glen Campbell's 'Galveston' in Woolworths in lower Manhattan. That was in 1969, when I was 11 going on 12. Was waiting with my mom for Sterling Optical to finish making my glasses.Rich | |
| D&D 's I own 3 CD versions of Layla ... the Layla 3 CD set from 1990, the SACD version, and the 40 year anniversary version. They are all passible sounding, no more no less. The SACD is the best sounding of the 3, but that does not distinguish it as spec... | |
| Inexpensive way to play records It was a cheap piece of crap and damaging to records 30 years ago. Nothing would have changed today. Pick-up a cheap BSR record player with a ceramic cartridge, if money is that tight.Rich | |
| One artist, band, you keep coming back to Marshall Crenshaw'Field Day' if you can find it. 'Good Evening' or his self titled are good places to start, as wellRich | |
| Ayon Orion 2 or Prima Luna Dialogue Premium Int.? The $700 difference in price is most likely attributed to the country of assembly or manufacture. But there is no sense getting into a made in China/ made elsewhere discussion given that the PCs we are using to answer your thread are all made in C... | |
