| Turntable platforms Halcyonics/MinusK/vibraplane On mine I have them on one platform. The theory has always seemed to be to keep belt driven TTs and their motors on the same one, but I for one don't think it is absolutely necessary. If they are separate, you could experience small changes in bel... | |
| What is your dream turntable? I'm with Genesis168. | |
| 15,000 LP's - What to do with records? Gregm,You are right. It's 8 years. I was thinking that when I wrote it and I still managed to divide by 2. Ouch! :^) | |
| 15,000 LP's - What to do with records? SteveAudio, standard A4 paper box will hold about 50 albums. 15,000 records would be 300 boxes. That's 6 boxes wide, by 10 deep, by 5 high. It's about 3000kg of records. And in listening terms, it is about 10 sides every night, including vacation,... | |
| Cheap Interconnects from Hong Kong Hifitime has hit the nail on the head. The practice is, to the detriment of designers who believe they continue to 'own' their intellectual property, quite common. | |
| Your First Vinyl Album. You guys at 6 years old listening to the Stones... even buying it for yourselves... now THAT's precocious. I don't think I had enough saved up for a record until I was at least 8. And I certainly did not have the worldly knowledge of who the Stone... | |

| Choosing a new turntable Drubin,A good table will get you unbelievably good bass, and once you get it, you don't want to live without it. I have yet to figure out what it is which gets you the right bass. Other than setup and cartridge/arm matching, among table factors, I... | |
| old vs. new , wich one is better? There are some very fine 30yr old tables. I daresay one can get excellent bang for buck with some of those tables. I certainly enjoy mine. For superbucks, one could purchase a currently-made table which would probably beat any of them, but it woul... | |
| Choosing a new turntable SoundStage! did a review of the Not AceSpace and somewhere compared it to a slightly lower-priced VPI. I read it a couple of years ago. I remember the reviewer preferred the 'richness' or 'fullness' of sound from the VPI (maybe the HW19, can't rem... | |
| Choosing a new turntable I have to agree with Dougdeacon, given your constraint on size/space, and desire to get something with support, this would be an excellent contender. And Doug's point on tonearm flexibility is key too. For Doug's tonearm add-on price, you could ge... | |
| old vs. new , wich one is better? I agree with many of Stanwal's points, most of all his last one. My story: not ages ago, I bought an SS head amp and SS pre with built-in phono made 30yrs ago. It was not cheap, but was less than a third of original price. My gut is that while I s... | |
| what does it mean by Also, even if there is no other device drawing electrical current from the same electrical circuit at the same time, some manufacturers might recommend not using an extension cord because:1) some extension cords are not rated for full wattage that... | |
| Green, Eco Friendly Class A Monoblocks Peter_s,Water Furnace Envision series (dual-speed versions) will get you a COP of 5 on closed loop, but they are probably the exception as that is the most efficient one out there I think. Disclosure: just based on my research; never bought one or... |
