| Has anyone finally decided to sell their Turntable and Vinyl collection? NO. I bought my first LP in 1964, still buying. | |
| Bits bits bits from Upscale Audio Because I live outside US, they blocked me from going into the site. The essence of the reason was that they were not going to sell me small stuff because the object is to sell big stuff (read expensive) to local (US) market. | |
| Turntable leveling I had a small circular level ( bubble inside circle) that came with my Clearaudio turntable when I bought it. So I set up with that.Then checked with a small joiners level (4 inch) and then with a larger ( 2 foot) builders level.They all showed t... | |

Since 1964 I have been on a steady ascent in gear, from the small suitcase type record player with built in speaker, to now, Clearaudio table, tube preamp and tube amp. with custom made floor standing speakers.

| Turntable Advice? I have had a Clearaudio Concept for 6 months now. I chose to fit it with the Virtuoso cartridge. I have never achieved such a good sound. The turntable itself is superb, in my opinion. | |

| What are important features in a listening chair I sit on the floor.Thats how I have been listening since 1958 when my dad used to play them old 78s. I am 71 now, still sitting on the floor. | |
| Turntable Mat question I have a Clearaudio turntable. It has no mat when purchased. The dealer/shop/owner frowned at me when I asked about a mat, he said not nessessary. After I got it I have tried a cork and a felt and a lp record. I find it best without a mat. I do us... | |

| What is an Audiophile? Here's the list for newbies. It seems I am NOT an audiophile.I have been purchasing vinyl for 55 years this year.My cartridge, phono stage, amp and speakers are worth twice as much as our cars ( I have 2 vehicles). My records are probably worth twice that. But that is irrelev... | |
