| Opinions of Luxman L-507ux Integrated I have had one for a few years and am very happy with it. I am a record collector with lots of old 45s and 78s not always in the best condition. I wanted something that wouldn't make rough records sound worse than they are and still play good re... | |
| Line Magnetic quality @migueca Are Line Magnetic amps made in a government factory like Cayin or do they have an independent workshop? | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G I have a Technics 1200G and am very happy with it. I am amazed there is "no Technics dealer in a 5000 mile radius" but you have a Nottingham dealer nearby! In your case, I would consider the Nottingham. Not a fan of the Rega line... | |
| Mono Cartridge Recommendations Miyajima Zero mono carts are about 30% cheaper in Europe (or just about anywhere else.) This is from authorized dealers, some of whom will ship to the US. US distributor does offer a return period which is certainly worth something though. | |
| linn sondek tt Does anybody still buy stocks? I just noticed many of their old dealers are gone.i wonder why? | |
| linn sondek tt "While recent sales of new turntables have been between 300 and 700 per year, Linn tells us the higher proportion of sales is attributed to upgrades. Owners can send their decades-old LP12 to the Linn factory to be upgraded to current day speci... | |
| Help! New mono cartridge for Dad's present-need the least amount of tweaking Audio Technica AT MONO 3You can buy these online for about $120. Get an Audio Technica headshell with fixed holes and you can set it up in about 5 minutes. I had one and it sounded great. It did make a audible difference in my system compared to... | |

| technics sl 1200 gae The man to talk to in the US is Kevin at KAB. He is a real authority on Technics turntables. I haven't spoken to him in awhile but my guess is that he will suggest a rewire of the arm and the fluid damper. I think you will find him straightforwa... | |
| Can you run the HANA SL MC at 100 ohms? "The kit could use a few more values above 200, up to at least 1K, though. Right now it’s pretty much focused on low-output MC’s with less that 15 ohms coils. And that 10 ohms (or even 20 ohms), I can’t imagine ever using."If you contact dB dir... | |
| Can you run the HANA SL MC at 100 ohms? I have a Hana EL which is basically the same thing specwise.I bought this from dB Systems: https://store.acousticsounds.com/d/60044/DB_Systems-DB_Systems_DBP-6_MC_Phono_Resistor_Loading_Kit-T...They will provide it with any value you want. I got ... | |
| Phono cable advice. I took Chakster's advice and got some Zu Mission phono cables off the Ebay auction for $40.00 for my Technics table. I doubt there is a better deal for phono cables anywhere. At some point I would like to upgrade them but for now they are fine. | |
| Tecnics 1200G platter cleaning "One man's dirt is another man's patina."I would just wipe off any dust and let the brass age gracefully. | |
| VPI prime scout VS Music Hall 9.3 VS Technics SL-1200GR VS Rega Planar 6 I would go with the Technics. Don't buy the VPI until you have both heard and handled it. Unipivots are not for everyone. | |
