What's your favorite album cover art ?
Metallica The Black Album and The Beatles White Album. 
Yamaha GT 2000 Turntable
The difference between the GT 2000 and the GT 2000L is twofold:1) The GT 2000 used the same black veneer that is used on the NS 1000 speaker. The GT 2000L uses a walnut(?) veneer.2) the GT 2000 is a fully manual turntable which can be fitted with ... 
Zephyr won't play nice with Phenomena 2
The title of this thread seems to put the onus for your dissatisfaction with the Zephyr. The Jolida seems to show the Zephyr to be a fine cartridge.I see that the gain options for the Musical Surroundings are as follows: 40, 44, 46, 48, 50, 51.5, ...

Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?

Turntable Recommendation 15K budget Avid Acutus, Brinkmann, Oracle, Nottingham,,
Fisher Price. Think of all the money you could spend on records. 
Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions?
I've owned my Truth for a little over 3 1/2 years. Via modifications to my turntable/turntable's isolation the sound of my system has steadily improved to the point where it is much better than when I first got The Truth.I really cannot tell you w... 
Why do almost all women today hate home audio?
This assessment ignores a lot of very basic facts. For many Americans, they need a car to get to work, and they need a car to do even the most basic shopping. For them, a car is a practical necessity. You should test your theory out on your wi...
