| Vinyl vs. top-notch digital I dont think its necessary or even wise to spend a ton on an analog rig to experience vinyl. My 2nd system is a technics dd with a shure V15/4 into a 25 yr old NAD int amp and is preferred to cd by everyone in the house. If after living with a mod... | |
| What is the best semi automatic TT around 1000$ I just picked up a Technics sl 1700mk2 for $49. on ebay. Put in a $4. cueing belt and have been listening slack jawed. The arm was the biggest suprise being a great match with several of my cartridges.There are many great choices with used semi an... | |

| 33 1/2 compared to 45 rpm ???? I guess I got lucky, I got the whole AP fantasy 45 series and all the MM bluenotes so far and all have been fine. Every time I plop one on I smile because Im getting the best out of the system I sweated to buy and build. | |

| vintage turntables? "Consider this, that KAB power supply is a $250 upgrade. I think more engineering effort goes into designing a power supply than a motor mount." As a small scale manufacturer I can tell you $900. doesnt go too far so that may not be a good compari... | |
| vintage turntables? "I bought a new SOTA Cosmos mk3, had it upgraded to a mk4. It still couldn't hold a steady pitch compared to Technics SL1210MG5 (a current turntable in production) for 1/10 the price."Youve mentioned this in several posts in the last few weeks.It ... | |

| Microscope for phono cartidge Go over to the vinyl engine and look at "nude pictures" there is lots of info. The cheap usb scopes work but have a limited depth of field which can be overcome with software but is kind of involved. You can score a nice B&L stereo 70 for arou... |
