| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Pryso, My system pictures are so out of date that I've considered just taking them down. Both those tables are gone and have been replaced with a pair of Thalman redone MKllls. One is in Chris Thornton's large constrained layered plinth, the other... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Sebastien, Sarcher, Yes I have tried the CU-180 with the mkll and did like the sound. I have two CU-180s and currently use each on custom MKlll tables. I thought the mkll sounded more dynamic and alive with the Boston mat ll, which BTW is an upgra... | |
| Thrift Store Vinyl Finds Half Price Books seems to be catching on to pricing and rarely under price anything by much very often. Occasionally they miss one though. Off hand, I remember finding a NM Colgems Casino Royale for $2.98. I also found a nice copy of Highway 61 Re... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Sebastien, The mat in my system picture is the Boston Mat ll. As Lewm states, it sounds great on that table. I also have the SAEC SS300 and like it a lot. I can't really pick a favorite on this one but they both are a better weight for the mkll th... | |
| Pink Floyd The Wall--Which vinyl? The original sounds great if you can find a nice clean one. It's hard to imagine a reissue sounding better. If it's a favorite title of yours though why not try both? | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question I've worked with both Bill and Chris and have found them both able and affable. I've also corresponded with Jonathan a couple times and personally would never do business with him based simply on his smug and condescending attitude. This is not ro... | |
| Van Halen, baby Dave's not a doctor, no. But he did work as an EMT for a while. Imagine, from mega rock star to EMT. Nothing at all against EMTs but he obviously didn't do that for the big money. To see him back with the old band in good form warms my heart. This... | |
| Alt Country/Folk, American roots Uncle Tupelo-Anodyne, Son Volt-Staightaways, Whiskeytown-Pneumonia, Ryan Adams-Gold. All fit in this category I believe and if you haven't heard any of them, you should. | |
| How many LP's do you own? How long did it take? How do you guys with 6,000-18,000 LPs store them? Alphabetically on shelving, prefab racks, crates or boxes? I have about 2,000 and currently am having custom shelving built to hopefully 2,000-3,000. | |
| Van Halen, baby Tom, The lyrics are simple and juvenile. Really? Did you ever listen to this band? That is what they were/are. An adolescent Friday night party. Now they're suppose to be what? Shelly? Keats? Poe? They're just doing what they always did. What's re... | |
| Van Halen or Van Hagar I absolutely agree that Fair Warning was the best Van Halen album ever. The new Different Kind of Truth takes me back to the DLR era and that's why I love it. Clearly not their best ever but what a breath of fresh air. That wink, wink with a nod h... | |
| Getting and keeping records clean................ Faded in popular discussion maybe. I still use it as part of my regimen with the 16.5, Disc Doctor fluids and Nerl reagent grade double rince. People tend to talk about steam cleaning in isolation. IMO it is an adjunct, a step in the process. | |
| New 'Vinyl Flat' flattener? 48 hours in the pouch? Do you notice any sonic changes after that long. I may try that on my Mofi Slowhand that just doesn't want to comply. | |
| New 'Vinyl Flat' flattener? I have now tried the oven at a confirmed 150 degrees and still no change in this Mofi disc from the 70's. I think I'll stop on this one after three cycle for fear of destroying the one playable side. The vinyl flat obviously can't fix everything b... | |
| New 'Vinyl Flat' flattener? Well, it was about 11 hours in the pouch. To my surprise this LP is unchanged. This is in stark contrast to every other LP I've tried thus far. Obviously vinyl from different sources may vary in chemical composition. Anyone else tried this on an o... |
