| Mod 1200MkII or Buy Rega RP6? or MMF-7 Package I would love to hear the OL modded 1200. Do that and invite me over for a listen... | |
| Armoire between speakers good suggestion, thx | |
| Armoire between speakers I sit about 10' from the speakers-I cant have th front protrude past the front of the the armoire-Material on the sides of the armoire will be vetoed by my wife- | |
| Do You Love Music or Do You Love Hi-Fi? Once I got my system sounding good to me, I forget about buying equipment and instead focus on buying music (vinyl). | |
| Budget speaker cable for my Usher S-520 I have Usher 718. I have used bluejeamscable.com (Canare 4S11), who will custom make cables to your specs. I have also used Audioquest somethings---good and inexpensive. | |
| MC versus MM. Which to choose. IMO vinyl newbies should start with inexpensive but good MM carts. The 2M line-up from Ortofon are inexpensive, sound great and are easy to set-up. Why buy an expensive cart when you are just getting into vinyl...? | |
| VPI Setup - What Happened? Try the Ortofon 2M range. They are MM but sound very smooth and detailed. They are inexpensive, rugged and very very easy to set up, particularly if you dont have tools (but you will need a stylus gauge for any and all cartridges - but no worries,... | |

Try "bluejeansaudio" or radio shack or whateve... | |
| How long it take before your system/amps sound About 45 minutes. I play both sides of an LP before it sounds right. | |
| Turntable under $1500 ..... Rega, clearaudio, or ? Does $1500 include the arm and cartridge??I would consider Sota Origin Livein addition to the others mentioned. | |
| Popular Female Singers in the past 2 decades all of the above plus,Alison KraussLisa HanniganSarah McLaughlinPaula ColeAlanis Morissette | |
| System shutting down due to clipping? Make sure you have good ventalation or a fan as suggested. This is most likely a heat problem. | |
| best phono preamp under 500? used Musical Surroundings Phonomena I or II. | |
| New to Turntable - what're involved in playing LP? Get a "plug and play" model so you dont have to spend much time with set-up. Rega, Sota and VPI very nice TTs, with used ones as an option. Then I would seek out quality used vinyl at your local record store or EBay and Agon are good too. |
