| Next upgrade for vinyl rookie Well, Trip your arm clearly exceeds the capability of your table. I'd look at that option, and if you have to wait a little to save the money, do that. The table will yield the most sonic benefits. | |
| LP mailers As Lugnut above shows, better quality boxes cost a little more, but may be worth it to protect the records in shipment. The 50 cent ones are kind of flimsy. | |
| Best music for romantic interlude The kind of music that gets me into the mood, is whatever kind of music gets her into the mood! I'm well into the mood before we ever even make it home to the house!Seriously, there are alot of different things that can push the button. Properly d... | |
| LP mailers Quite often, they can be found on ebay, in the used records section, along with inner and outer sleeves. There are a couple of different kinds, and they may offer more or lesser protection, and have different mailing weights. They commonly are abo... | |
| Best device for adjusting cartridge overhang. Bob, I use the Turntable Basics model, and I feel it does the job. Only $20. | |
| Shelter 501 II - what to use to clean tip?? Screw in from the bottom with the nuts on top. This gives you the ability to hold the nuts from turning when you tighten the cartride. The only cartridges you install with the screws on top is one with a threaded body. Keep the stylus protector in... | |
| Shelter 501 II - what to use to clean tip?? Yes, RWD, you should see the looks on my friends faces, when I use the cartridge to fire up a Stogie! Just kidding!I do get some looks, though, when I use this method, because people think that it will damage the cartridge. Hasn't happened in 20 y... | |
| Review: Sony SS-M7aes Speaker Okay Nate, you've convinced me. How much do you want for them? Can I run them with my 2 watt Berning?:^) | |
| RCA shaded dog ??? There are 2 different color labels which have RCA Shaded Dogs. There is a dark red and a "tomato soup" red color. The "tomato soup" colored Shaded Dog is the preferred pressing. They all fall under the RCA Living Stereo category. | |
| Best table & arm combo for $10K I would highly recommend the Teres 255 TT. I feel it will compete with or beat any other table you listed, and do it for about 1/4-1/3 of the price. Also, the Teres 255 is readily available as a completed table, so there doesn't have to be any DIY... | |
| Next upgrade for vinyl rookie New table. The arm is good. Get the Expressimo end-stub, if you don't have it already. That way you can still use your Heavyweight. If you got the OL end-stub, your counterweight might not fit. The end stub would be the next logical thing for the ... | |
| What's next after my 300B Rega Turntable Hey Jimbo, I like the LO.4 too! I think that is one of the best Benz cartridges. While I always talk about Denon and Shelter, because of the nice prices for the performance, I definitely recognize that the LO.4 is a real good cartridge. If I had a... | |
| Cardas Upgrade - Arm Balancing Problem I'm here, but I have to confess I didn't know the answer to your problem. When things are modified, I have no way of knowing what was done, or how it was done, so I could really be of no help. This is why I didn't respond to the thread.It sounds l... | |
| Shelter 501 II - what to use to clean tip?? I use a matchbook striker to clean mine. I have used this on all my cartridges for over 20 years. Works great and is cheap. Just stroke the stylus once or twice on each contact surface, on the 45 degree angle, like the record groove is passing und... | |
| Round Two: Best Speakers for LOUD music and rock?? Why not try some professional sound reinforcement speakers? A couple of big "scoop" type bass bins, a big horn loaded midrange, and a compression horn tweeter, just like they use on stage, with tri-amping, might be just what you'd like.They won't ... |
