What are you jonesing for?


In no particular order: 

- A nice pair of mammoth monoblocks from Krell's glory days

- A set of Infinity IRS Beta

- A FM tuner with a built-in oscilloscope 

- A NADAC+ stack

- A Nakamichi cassette deck with barn doors

Bonus points for any of the above in super-cheap, can't-be-fixed form 😃

Oh I almost forgot:

- Holbo air-bearing turntable with DS Audio optical cartridge

(See what you've done @richardbrand ? You happy now? 😃)

 

@devinplombier 

Yes, very happy.  Yesterday I got my Holbo up and running for the first time with my old Shure V15 type III and a new Jico SAS/B stylus.

I was going to swap out the Audio Technica VM540ML from my Garrard 301 but the Shure was lying around.  So I have both decks operational.

I scared myself by accidentally setting the tracking force in grains instead of grams and proved that even a Holbo / Shure combo cannot track Bach organ works at about 0.05 grams tracking force!  At Jico's recommended 1.2 grams it is just fine which I think is a tribute to the friction-free tone arm air bearing, given the Shure is a very high compliance, lightweight cartridge
