| Kind of Wow and Flutter. I was always aware that the speed was off but the annoyance of wow and flutter has now come to light. I can handle something a bit slow or fast but shifting pitch is bothersome. | |
| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines The VAC is an excellent recommendation, as is a Jolida but you need an outboard phono for them. I owned an el84 Jolida and it was fun. I found that the construction met a price point but it all worked well. Buying a used Vandy 3a is a smart way to... | |
| Where to go When you start to have tracking distortion send it back to Dynavector for a retip. Meanwhile, work with a local dealer and experiment with other cartridges of higher caliber and then determine what is the best upgrade.By the time your present styl... | |
| Where to go You should get at least 1000 hours out of your current stylus. If you are happy, then be happy for a while longer. | |
| Phono cartridge advice I have owned and used the following Denons:Dl110Dl160Dl103DL301mkiiAll of their cartridges are very enjoyable. They are not the last word in resolution but are very musicalMy favorite is my 103 in an ebony body. It comes very close to higher price... | |
| JM Lab Micro Utopias I have achieved some really good system synergy and the sound I'm getting is first class. I really appreciate the resolution these speakers project. The are really doing justice to great recordings, as well as they are equally engaging at low, mod... | |
| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines The Cronus Magnum ii is a complete 100 watt, KT120 integrated tube amp.

| Artist and Title I'm sure it is not but if you like this you will dig Soullive, as well as Medeski, Martin and Wood. | |
| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines Cottguy,Check out my Thorens td150, that I modded and maxed out on my virtual page. It is my second table and seems to hit all the buttons you have identified. I would part with it, for the right price, if you are interested. If, you are within re... | |
| JM Lab Micro Utopias I was listening to a mix I did of Marty Ehrlich back in 2006. I was frozen in my seat for 1.5 hours. They did an excellent job of recreating the event, soundstage, timbre and dynamics.....and my room ain't small. | |
| What is Technics thinking? As in all things audio, where some see beauty others see moles. My question is, "What is it that Timestep identifies with the drive that led them to such radical mods?" You can read their whites papers on line, and they convey a strong rational, a... | |
| What is Technics thinking? I frankly don't care what it does or doesn't do. This is what has been reported by others and the subsequent mods they have done to correct it.Now if they would have improved upon its look they might have hooked me. I also feel I would preferred l... | |
| What is Technics thinking? All direct drives cog. Whether or not you hear it or notice it's impact is individualized. Timestep does the mods. Feel free to go to their website for more information. | |
| Durand record weight ha ha ha ha - and other crazy thing For the price of admission I'll just admit that my ears are compromised and will not discern a significant difference. Or, my equipment just sucks. |
