Fluance RT85N Reference Turntable - budget, or not ?
I bought the basic Fluance tt with an AT cart for a second system. Replaced the cart with a Nagoka mm. Serves the purpose very well for very little money  
Help me build up a jazz album collection. Can you suggest a must have album?

Hey everyone! It’s great to see this thread still going strong. I started it about 20 years ago. Been away from AudiogoN for a long time. I’ve moved, was systemless until I got a new listening space carved out. I hope to be adding my musical explo...

Walker Audio Proscenium Black Diamond V
I'm not sure I would say that a $105,000 turntable, and a gorgeous one it is, is Keeping it Real. Any more than a $15,000 Koetsu Platinum Coralstone Mono Cartridge, as beautiful and sumptuous sounding as it undoubtedly is, is Keeping it Real.But c...

Lloyd is one of the good guys. However, now whenever he comes over, my wife pats him down in the driveway, makes him turn his pockets inside out and promise not to sell me anything.But seriously; Lloyd is always pushing the envelope for what is po...

Pure Music...Really Bad so far...

Pure Music 1.88a
Thank you. Mine is set to auto check for upgrades but obviously, there are some bugs, including the issue running 1.88a w/ iTunes 11 
Pure Music 1.88a
Anyone using 1.88a have an issue with memory play? Since downloading 1.88a as well as the latest version of itunes, when I attempt to launch playback with memory play, it freezes and locks up at "loading tracks into memory".

Thanks Al-That is what I came away with reading the data sheet as well. 650 cu ft/hr of natural guess used when running at full tilt, or a large part thereof every time I listen to music probably is not the most economical, and the data sheet figu...
