Your Best Vinyl Memory
My first non 45 purchase; an actual full length lp, was the Beatles "Hey Jude", which I bought with my own money. I was about 10 or 11, paid near 4 bucks and my mom blew her top. A pinacle of pride, had I."Jesus Christ Superstar"...listened over a... 
Looking for input on record clamps.
Hi Gerbie,Is the clamp on your table yet? If so, what analog set-up and what changes are you experiencing? $2800.00 on an item I have not heard in my system is a bit cavalier for me.Thanks, Steve 
Looking for input on record clamps.
Hi All,Thanks for your input. Albert, have you had the opportunity to audition the Shun Mook or Harmonix? Very, very pricey...justified? Has piqued my interest. With the Walker clamp, did you clamp securely or let the weight itself determine the p...
