| Back in the vinyl saddle again. @elliottbnewcombjr I do love the look of those vintage Japanese direct drives. I had a Micro Solid 5 back in the day that I gave to my sister. Maybe I should borrow it for a few days. | |
| The Sacred Ritual of Vinyl: A Return to Mindful Listening I have just recently resurrected my turntable, so your comments are very timely. And 100% correct in their distillation of the somewhat cathartic process of simply "listening to records". | |
| Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby? If you really had quit, you would not be here. Therefore, anyone that answers "yes" to this question is lying. | |
| Back in the vinyl saddle again. @ghdprentice I think nostalgia is part of it, but it is also comparing analog and digital. This is the first time I have had both options available to me and it's something I would like to explore a bit. It is fine to say that digital can achiev... | |
| Back in the vinyl saddle again. @rsf507 I am in I am in Vancouver, Canada. Records are in good to excellent condition. | |
| Back in the vinyl saddle again. @bassbuyer No Aerosmith yet. Oscar Peterson, Linda Ronstadt, Tool, Friday Night in San Francisco, Mark Knopfler with Emmylou Harris, Tim Buckley, Roy Buchanan and others. | |

| Back in the vinyl saddle again. @2psyop Thank you for the recommendation. The Soundsmith might be out of my budget, but who knows. I am selling about 500 records, so circumstances may change. Cheers. | |
| Back in the vinyl saddle again. @elliottbnewcombjr First. Thanks for the detailed and on topic response. Funny that you mention the Quartz Locked Direct Drive option. Until a few months ago, before I decided to sell everything, I had planned to build a new turntable. To that ... | |
| Back in the vinyl saddle again. @hickamore But, it's not about improving my streaming setup. It's about reacquainting myself with analog. | |
| Back in the vinyl saddle again. @jasonbourne71 That makes sense. The Hana SL MkII was on my short list. I also have a Supex 900 Super with a snapper cantilever that I could get fixed as well. Unfortunately I have no idea if it would be a good match for the arm. | |
| Back in the vinyl saddle again. @ghdprentice My digital end is just fine for now. That is why I was selling the turntable and records. Aurender N100 to Denafrips Iris DDC to Denafrips Pontus II. Retipping the Clearaudio cartridge is certainly the least expensive option, but ... | |
| Back in the vinyl saddle again. @yogiboy The 10.2 effective mass is for the later version of the JMW9, not the 2006 version. |
