Value of mint condition first pressing of Sgt. Pepper? Give it to your granddaughter with a note asking her to keep it, and actually play it. It has more sentimental value than anything.It’s likely just a run of the mill press that may sound good. There are still a bazillion out there.A Brit mono is t... | |
How Good Can My Vinyl Get? I like bstat's $2K suggestion.Maybe invest in one of those budget US cleaners down the road also.Schitt Mani is a winner for about $150. | |

"a stylish and affordable launch into the world of high-performance audio" They’re likely better sounding than the "white van" speakers being sold right now in the Costco parking lot.I would like a pair if there were a vinyl faux veneer finish, for the office system.Edit-the price isn’t for the pair, only 1.

Deciding on new TT and either a Zephyr MIMC vs an Audio Technica ART9 Purely subjective. Neither is "better." SS does offer the affordable rebuild if you crash the stylus.Using a an ART9 for the second time on my VPI. THE SS may have an edge,since it physically is a lower mass assembly, making the magic.

A suggestion for MM/MC cartridge manufacturers cakyol-I feel your frustration. Any real hifi enthusiast has lost $ crashing a nice cart.There isn’t a need for your request. I’m nearing 60, poor eyesight along with the other aging deficits.The secret to a DIY cart setup is patience. Slow, delib... | |
