| Best set up for 78's ? Instead of the PL120, for around $200 you can get the Stanton T.90. The Stanton comes with a stanton 500 cart so it's a better deal. And the Stanton 500 also happens to be the best affordable cart for 78 playback. You will have to get a 3 mil styl... | |
| Cleaning smaller records I forgot to put in the link. Or Agon pulled it out. If it's the former, here it is.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fW9NWHvv8fc&feature=related | |
| Who gets your system and music after you are gone? I hope my kids will want it, at least the records. My wife doesn't want anything except an AM radio to listen to the weather. | |
| JMW cueing problem Two good solutions. Thanks. | |
| Mono/Stereo Carts? You can play all that stuff with your stereo cart. Your bad luck lies elsewhere. | |
| Tube Preamp w / phono needed to match SS Amp Audible illusions 3a was the best sounding preamp I ever owned. | |
| Bookshelf Speakers with “Big” sound? Second the FritzSpeakers. Call him up and tell him what your wants and needs are and see what he proposes. | |
| Any High-end speakers "kid-friendly" not fragile? My then 2-yr old walked up to my Quads and wiped his nose on the grill cloth. I should do the same thing to his iPod now, although it'll be much easier to clean. Moral: no audio gear is kid friendly. | |
| VPI Dust Cover VPI dust cover is crap. Hard to use, limited protection, and for what it is, it is not inexpensive. $129 turntables manage to come with adequate dust covers. | |
| MONO cartridges Is it not the case that playing stereo-cut grooves (including mono material reissed the last 30ish years) with a "true mono" cartidge like a VRII damages the grooves? Caveat emptor! | |
| 78 RPM - Potential for better sound than digital? I agree with and would like to expand on Mothra's post. I have gear from many eras. My theory is that music typically sounds "best" -- that is, most enjoyable, to me -- when played on the equipment it was expected to be played on when the recordin... | |
| Has anyone considered reverse stereo playback? No, it's primarily a problem for classical music. It's disconcerting (dis-concerting?) to hear an orchestra or string quartet set up in a mirror image.As for drums, I don't think it's generally a good mixing practice to have them spread out on the... | |
| Has anyone considered reverse stereo playback? Severa early stereo preamps had a L R reverse function. Too bad that function has been dropped. | |
| Do You Remember Your First CD Player? I bought it in '87.It broke after like two years. I'd always heard to stay away from extended warranties but for some reason this was the one time I actually bought one. How 'bout that!But the warranty was from the infamous Crazy Eddie. It/he was ... | |
| Tube smell? I've always thought "tube smell" was dust burning off. I enjoy the tube smell from my vintage gear. |
