| Cartridge for Michell Gyro SE and SME 309 Just FYI, there is a Michell MC cartridge for sale here on Audiogon (The Music Room), within your stated budget. You might check it out. | |
| Cartridge for Michell Gyro SE and SME 309 I don't know if this will help you, but I have a Michell Gyro Dec turntable that I bought from a local stereo store. It was their demo table that was up and running, so I had the opportunity to hear it before I bought it. The sale included the car... | |
| Luxmann PD444 is up and spinning! I sold my mint Luxman PD444 table several years ago while we lived in the SF Bay Area. The guy who bought it had a heavy Russian accent. He just missed buying my Technics SP10 because someone had responded before him. I asked him how many turntabl... | |
| Moody Blues founder Mike Pinder passed away today at 82 Another Moody gone. That's just very sad news. I can't comment on who were the original members and who contributed what, but the Moodys were such a class act. I have all their albums on CD and vinyl and listen to them often. My favorites are "In ... | |
| Cardas Customer Service is Amazing! I have not had experience with Cardas, but I can say that I have had similar results with Kimber Kable. I bought a Kimber phono cable here on Audiogon, but I had an unacceptable amount of hum when connected to my system. I sent them to Kimber and ... | |
| Weirdest record defect? I went to listen to my new "The Best of Roxy Music" (double LP) and found that one record had the same label on both sides. So much for quality control. | |

| Turntable dust cover cleaning Use Novus #1 "Plastic Clean and Shine", and you'll never look back. | |
| What was your first record? The first was a 45. It was Elvis Presley’s "Hound Dog/Don’t Be Cruel". My first LP was "Rubber Soul" (Beatles, of course). I thought every song could be #1. What a record! | |
| Who has been an "Insider" with Audiogon? It’s hard to generalize about whether the quotes are "accurate" or not, but it helps me to recognize a price from a seller who is hoping to snag some newbie by pricing an obscure piece of gear at a ridiculous premium. The best examples for me are ... | |
| Who has been an "Insider" with Audiogon? I have been an "Insider" for a few years, having first joined during one of Audiogon's 50% off promotions. I'm sure there must be other reasons, but the main reason I have maintained my membership is for the Audiogon Bluebook. I use it as a second... | |
| Michell Gyro SE Belt I just received a spare belt for my Gyro Dec from a guy in San Diego. His name is Rob and his contact is rob@audioartcable.com. His phone number is (619) 255-6451. I believe he is the US Distributor for JA Michell products. It was around $60. | |
| Whats the weirdest concert you ever attended? dekay, Saw your post above. So, the Beatles reunited in 1975 for a concert at a K-Mart in Iowa. That had to be a "Beatles Tribute" band. Though you didn't say it, I'm sure you realize the Beatles broke up in 1970. But you're right, if it really... | |
| Gordon Lightfoot, Canadian folk legend, dead at 84 Listening to "The Beatles Channel" on SiriusXM this morning, I heard Gordon Lightfoot introduce his four favorite Beatle songs. Obviously, he passed away recently, and it made me sad to remember all the great songs he wrote and performed over his ... | |
| Wine & Audio Consider visiting the handful of audio stores in the Bay Area and leaving a mixed case of your Thatcher's Wine. You should start with Music Lovers (Berkeley and San Francisco). We moved away before Covid, so things may have changed. The manager of... |
