| Half speed masters. Are they worth the extra scratch? Half speed mastering has nothing to do with what speed you play it back at. It’s simply cut at a slower speed and the music is cut at half the speed, so when you play it back it’s back to normal. It just halves frequencies as they’re cut into lacq... | |
| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? Nice photo @chakster ! | |
| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? I’m using the TTM Monitor Mat, no complaints and is much better than the stock rubber (in either thickness). I’m curious to hear the difference l, however subtle, between my stainless mat and the Micro Seiki.I recall seeing the TTM mat in your sys... | |
| How many vinyl albums do you own you listen to? Approx 10,000 here and I listen to something new about 10-15 times per day. It’s a life not a living. | |

| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? @richardkrebs I’ve been on the fence of getting your upgrade a few times, but have been hesitant because of the irreversibility.

| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? I have very low mileage MK3. JP fully serviced. New chip. No Krebs! FR66s arm. Couldn't be more happy and would def concur with the term "endgame". Don't sell it! | |

| What do you have on order RIGHT NOW. 150lbs of Panzerholz for a plinth coming from Canada arriving tomorrow! | |
| Interconnects under floor? @lancelock Good plan! I'd do something similar if I wasn't on 100 year old hardwood floors. |
