Mag-Lev Turntables
To be fair, I heard one at a show. It was only hooked up to headphones, in a noisy room.For the 2k  pricepoint, I'm sure it's about as good as any? I would stick with traditional, proven construction over novelty. If you decide playing records is ... 
Cartridge advice
For the price point-$400, I have found the SS Otello a very nice performing cart on my VPI. I used it as a back up for my 5X  the price MC. Very nice mids, which may be address your requirements, as a Classical listener. The only downside is no de... 
Mag-Lev Turntables
"I’m very interested in this turntable as many are."Who are these "many?"Looks like a conversation piece for the coffee table. Something you just have and not hooked up. Turn it on, and look at it, while your proper system is playing a record. 
The Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers
Just get what’s now impossible- a clean domestic period press.It’s the Stones.....you’re not supposed to be obsessed with audio hifi nonsense.Finding BOTH the zip cover AND LP in good condition for a reasonable cost is an accomplishment, if it’s a... 
Still trying to find a new PC
Either the Sockeye or Chinook will prevent any sonic improvement from a new powercord.Seriously, unless you simply try and buy, it's a lost cause with suggestions. Too subjective. The Agon listings are a great way to get something for 50% of list.... 
The Forest for the Trees
Wrong forum for actually enjoying music.This place is for obsession, specification driven tail chasing with cables, gadgets and MKIII  cryo'd  cheese.Enjoy the music https://www.etsy.com/listing/471910072/vintage-panasonic-8-track-player?show_sol... 
It happened again tonight
Yes!My 1979  1A(1st press variant? whatever that is)Pittman copy has been played on a few serious setups. $50K+ super rigs.Really a workout, besides great music. On my setup ($5K?),I can hear most of what can be squeezed out from  this great album... 
Cayin A100T (EL34 Version) Tube Rolling
Your unit is diode (SS )rectified. The 12AX7 IS NOT a rectifier tube. 
Any experience with these turntables?
Just try all of them(if you can) with an appropriate value Audio Technica MM cart, and you're good to go. If one sticks, later you could even put a budget MC to see if you like what they have to offer.Good enough to figure out if you want to conti... 
Give Satanic Majesties A Chance
Thanks to the universe, your mother is doing well.Yes, my 67 mono press does sound fantastic. I don’t think the entire album is  strong as their run from LIB to Exile though.Thanks for the suggestion to pull it out of mothballs for a spin.I even g... 
Git watcha want
Poor Keef was looking a little out of it. I couldn't make out any fill he was adding. Oh well, it's Keef.  He could have just air guitar thru it, still would be cool.Charlie's air drumming was superb. 
The "Broken Blue Point Special Club"
Some topics are simply timeless.Keep those dust rags, unbuttoned long sleeves and 2+ drink hands away from the table!We still have plenty of time to go thru our collection. Dear leader and your local government may have different plans though?I'm ... 
POSTPONA 2020
Facebook....as soon as that's involved, I bet a few lost interest. 
Floored by Beatles "White Album" Reissue
This thread has rekindled interest in putting the White album further up my long list when bin diving.After taking my Capitol issue for a spin(which is quite good), I REALLY want to find the elusive 68 mono.I enjoy the Giles SP, but I have a clean... 
Should I be able to hear a 4Hz difference in my speakers?
b_limo if that's the case, the poor OP will spend the rest of confinement with disappointment.Meanwhile, I will go back to listening to my speakers that join the rest of the pack-a box in a real world setup that probably doesn't see anything below...
