Whats on your turntable tonight?

Tomic, Cool, just curious.

Slaw, Let me know what you think of that album please. Almost seems like a "must have" already (LOL). FWIW, I’ve separated everything from the turntable. The only thing attached to it is the belt from the flywheel. In fact, the motor, flywheel, table, & arm tower, are all stand alone components. I like it this way because I believe it makes sense isolating everything, but it’s a pita to set up. Once set up though, there is a lot of flexibility with setting up different arms. I currently have two arm "towers (or pods)". One is set up with the 12" ViRa arm, the other with a 9" Polestar.

The Julie Ruin / Hit reset

Nice to hear! Jim.

If you can tell that this early on, I'd say your set-up is very good so far.

Santana - Welcome

One of my favorites for setting SRA by ear...  if you get the side one cymbals and percussion to sound correct you are done.  A lot of material to employ and it will reward you when it’s right.   20 hours on the new Madake and I think it has a even more to offer with a few more hours.  I guess I will have to suffer through it ;)

Red House Painters "Down Colourful Hill"

boxer,

Yup, I concur...that's how mine will be set up as well

BTW, Is the Julie Ruin on lp?
