I know this is an older post, but does anyone know the viscosity of the platter cup?  
Sealed MOFI's on eBay
Thanks for all the responses! This thread illustrates the good and bad of the Auddigon forums. The original intent of the posting was why are there so many sealed copies of MOFI's on eBay? The responses covered that topic as well as shrink wrap vs... 
Best vintage Marantz receivers?
Here's a link to the Classic Marantz site:http://www.classic-audio.com/marantz/mindex.htmlI have owned several of the vintage Marantz receivers. I currently have a 2330 and love it. One of the most sought after units is the 2325. It is supposed to... 
Bad Tube in an Audible Illusion M3A
Thanks for all the replies, but I was really asking why a tube becomes noisy and doesn't just go out? What causes the noise?Thanks 
Inventory of vinyl - what software do you use?
I created my database in MS Access. It was easy to set up and I've added several fields over the years. I also purchased a data program for my Palm Pilot that could import from MS Access and keep an updated copy of my record data base with me at a... 
First Tube Preamp
I second the Audible Illusions Modulus 3A. You can find one used for around $1000.00 and will get your money back if you decide to try something else. It was listed as one of the best for a number of years. Another good choice is the Audio Researc...

Scoutmaster with Lyra cartridge?

Life beyond Jolida?
Try the Quickies. I'm running a pair of mid mono's with KT-88's and could not be happier. I have had no problem with tube failure due to voltage, in fact the quickies are some of the most reliable amps available. The Quicksilver amps also allow yo... 
Which JBL 4300 series speaker is recommended?
I listen to both 4311's and 4312's. The 4311 was the speaker that allowed JBL to corner the professional monitor market. At one time 8 out of 10 studios used 4311's so chances are that rock album you want to listen to was mixed with 4311's. Becaus... 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
Since 1984 It's been JBL 4312B Studio Monitors. I love the clean sound and they are practically bullet proof! There may be better speakers out there, but I'd be hard pressed to switch.
