Technics moving all turntable production to Malaysia
Its too bad. Very rarely, IME is quality ever the same when production is offshored.  There are instances when it is as good so we will have to see what happens. 
Listening to music matters Freddie Hubbard thought my woof was going to blow?
"The reissues are not cutting the bass"it could be the pressing.  Ive had some pressings that do it and some that do not. 
Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed!
I have an older VPI and the Technics.  I have used the VPI because the sound of belt drive can be enjoyable.  However, The Technics always makes it back and is the mainstay.  The better belt drives sound more like the Technics because they are les... 
Disappointment with Pass Labs - I'm looking for something else
I just read you have Klipsch and you want delicacy?  Is that an oxymoron?  if you want delicacy, I would change the klipsch to something else.  They kind of market their product as anything but delicate.

"Get a KT88-powered tube amp."lol. I have to agree. I have a good old MC275 and my search has been over for years.  However, I do like Pass Labs Preamps, especially their older ones.  keep the pass preamp and Get a MC240, MC275, MC 30's, MC225 etc... 
Any Linn LP12 owners in So Cal get the Karousel bearing upgrade?
I am not saying that the scout sounded better than the Linn.  The Linn was better but not by as much as I would have expected.  They need to be more flexible or just don't sell in the US.  Their distributor was right in my city.  Yet they would no... 
MOBILE FIDELITY ONE STEP VINYL
These hot stampers are way overpriced records for people who do not want to take the time to do some research or do not have the time for that matter. Knowing the mastering engineer, the pressing plant, being a first press vs reissue all have a lo... 
MOBILE FIDELITY ONE STEP VINYL
It depends. You have to know what you are looking for. Yes, even the pressings from 70’s and 80’s.  Even reissue US pressings can sound thin as well.  Many from this period were not pressed on virgin vinyl so they can have some surface noise but t... 
MOBILE FIDELITY ONE STEP VINYL
I think what is most important is knowing the pressing plant, the engineer, 1st press etc.  It makes big difference.  But I tend to agree with the fact that many reissues and even Japanese pressings may not sound very good.  Unless you know what y... 
How old is your cartridge?
I am using a pickering XSV 3000 with stereohedron stylus for the past two years nearly every day.  still sounds great.  I am starting to think the older MM have a longer lifespan due to the lower tracking force.

bad move

I agree, that does not look right.  needs to be replaced. 
The best TT system for under 30K
get the Kuzma and the Technics sp10R.  Then you will be covered for belt drive and direct drive.

all I have to say is Linn has poor customer service. They have a distribution center and repair shop about three blocks from where I live. There are no Linn dealers here locally. They were going to make me drive 200 miles to go hear one. Really...... 
what are some of best tonearms you own or experience with.
