The Wilt Chamberlain of Audio Gear
My name is Lou and I’m an audio whoreThe first step is admitting you have the addiction! It is one reason that I do not subscribe to nostalgia audio, as it misses out on all the newer, and imo better developments. Yeah, but that gets expensive too... 
Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed!
I owned the Pro-Ject RPM 5.1 turntable. It was a beautiful table. https://www.henleyaudio.co.uk/products/RPM5-1But the arm would bounce like a rubber ball at the slightest of foot movements. The ’rubber band’ belt would stretch from heat and frict... 
Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed!
@audioguy85, One of the reasons high school kids in the late 70’s thru the 80’s used Technics turntables is because they were used and didn’t cost a lot of money and you could pick one up at any second store or pawn shop. We’re talking about poor ... 
Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed!
@mijostyn, I’m only guessing that Technics uses only billet high grade aluminum for the tables?Heck, my use to be daily driver is the ’lowly’ 1980 Technic SL-D2 and I love this thing!Reliable as all get out and every now and again all I have to do... 
Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed!
@mijostyn, Like I said poor quality control. It is difficult with a thin aluminum casting to keep it flat. When it is machined it heats up expands then cools contracts and deforms. I guess some people are lucky and get a flat one. I believe you a... 
Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed!
+ 1 @dekay,Sounds like a lazy customer support person, complete made up BS. Not only should you go as high as you can in the crutchfield command/customer support structure, I think you should document and carbon copy everything to Technics AND P... 
Worst Concerts You Have Attended ??
@carlsbad+1 coldplay at 2016 super bowl. I wasn't there but it was the first halftime show that made me and a lot of watchers all over the country sober up. 
Worst Concerts You Have Attended ??
1972 or 73? Cobo Hall Detroit, The Ohio Players...The band was fine it's just that the late cheapo seats we got where the moveable retractable kind and they were placed in and area where the night before was a circus and for the entire show everyt... 
Audio Lessons Learned - post your best advice for the newer members!
1) I learned this just recently, when you burn in new gear don’t just do it when you get home from work, on the weekends or when you have time, let the new gear run in 24/7 for 3 to 4 days or so from the jump, as soon as you can. Do not put this o... 
Sell LP's: No visible scuffs. Let buyer remove static if needed?
What @chakster said,I like discogs format (for albums) far better than ebay's. I've bought and sold many a item on ebay but when it comes to vinyl, discogs all they do are vinyl and their format is intuitive. 
TUBE BIAS, socket to me!
@lewn,The statement below was from a positive feedback article about the MX110Z that Elliot was gracious enough to provide us."Like me, after living with the MX110Z for a while, you may wonder why all modern preamplifiers don’t include FM tuners a... 
SVS vs REL and experiences with both: your comments and preferences...
@barcardi,They both make great subs, but Rel subs do things that no other subs do and that is that they effect the whole spectrum. Highs, midrange and low end is effected. Scale and depth of soundstage is affected. And that’s something special as ... 
Stereo Times list of the " 2020 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS"
Although not mentioned but is shown with the The G.E.M. Dandy Polytable, is the G.E.M. Dandy rubber cork compound turntable mat, a steal of a deal at less than $40 bucks. One of the best aftermarket upgrades I’ve made for my table. Thanks Teajay

What? No love for Power Sound Audio (PSA) subwoofers? 
TUBE BIAS, socket to me!
Now this knocked my socks off...Like me, after living with the MX110Z for a while, you may wonder why all modern preamplifiers don’t include FM tuners and equalization controls—they’re great fun! Also, tell me, is there anything even remotely comp...
