| I'm here for the enthusiasts, not the snobbery Hilarious. I guess the $300 paint job was the deluxe package if he was painting cars for $50.I had paint come off when a car was hand washed. It was a large touch up. Paint was cracked. | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? It makes the car faster. Goal is to win the race. Sticks may be more fun and engaging, but there is enough steering, braking and accelerating to worry about at those speeds to separate their driving skill from the next guy. | |
| Buying a new TT today I think if you look long term, you should look at your whole system and try to figure out how you can get the most improvement for the $$.if you are dead set on investing $2K on the analogue rig, Rega tables offer the best value at the low/mid end... | |

| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? warm counterweight is perfect | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Dust cover is off when record is playing. Check out my table-Rega P8. Roy Gandy designed it after a cost no object limited edition, Naiad (might be misspelled). They only made a handful, sold to people who knew Roy so they wouldn’t be glommed up b... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Engine as close to the middle of the car as possible. Center weight = well balanced=better handling. Not in the front. Weight over the power wheels.As far as the tonearm counterweight, maybe it helps with some mismatched arm/table combos, but if ... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? I disagree Geoff. I learn new things all the time as I read about them. Many things are not of benefit to me. Some are. I try to get a lot of people's perspectives, which is part of why I like Audiogon's discussions. If you don't overthink it, and... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Just 40+ years experience talking to audiophiles, snobs, tweakers, music lovers, Idiots, rich guys, posers, and combinations therof. | |
| I'm here for the enthusiasts, not the snobbery Uncle repaint doesn’t count. I’m talking about a company (thankfully out of business) who did it day in and day out. I think the charged like $2-300 back then. And it wasn’t worth it to the previous owner. | |
| I'm here for the enthusiasts, not the snobbery How about a '71 Mustang in 1980 for $900? Worst repaint I ever saw. Earl Scheib job. You could see the mustard colored paint in the trunk edges (and door jambs) not covered by the instantly fading, peeling red paint. After that, I never had the ur... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Fred - there are plenty of audiophiles that are not music freaks - they should enjoy music at a minimum, but are on a never ending quest to get it to sound the best they can. Some are more fanatical than others and are willing to spend a higher % ... | |
| I'm here for the enthusiasts, not the snobbery Robert- you are right on the money. Problem is, I have to have a sunroof.I'll probably stick with the GTS - not a fan of the turbo.Never interested in just a straight line. It's the fun in the twisties mostly. Speed is fun too, especially in the GT3. | |
| I'm here for the enthusiasts, not the snobbery I can't afford new ones, so I guess I am not a true Porschephile since I never had a factory tour. Haven't even been to the new US HQ in Atlanta with the track package that is supposedly a great thing to do. Maybe one of these days... |
