| Whats on your turntable tonight? OK, here we go: I'll start off by saying that Thursday 3/30, Lloyd Walker and Fred Law delivered, set-up and dialed in my new Proscenium Gold turntable. The build quality, looks and design are second to none. By the time we were done Thursday nigh... | |

| Turntable Stands the Scout series are all non-suspended designs, and as a result, will benefit greatly from a quality stand. My advice, is a DIY model, made from 18 x 24" rock maple butcher block, with 2 ft tall 5/8-11 threaded brass rods, nuts and washers. Put so... | |

| Who sells high quality audiophile CD’s? Kana813,Kavi Alexander says "We are of the opinion..." He does not say they refuse to market CD's and SACDs. Until the last few years or so, WLA was a vinyl only record label. Mr. Alexander markets what sells, in order to provide income.He doesn't... | |
