| Should I keep around my NAD 3155? If you enjoy it, what's the hurry to upgrade? Save your money for something bigger down the road. | |
| Help with jazz tune "Exotic Birds" The Melton Mustafa Orchestra? Look him up on iTunes. | |
| Amplifier for Altec Valencia speakers If you haven't already, go to http://www.diyaudio.com, http://www.altecheritage.org or http://www.audiokarma.org for several specific discussions about the 846A and B. I gutted the cabinets and I'm at present building two enormous Onken type enclo... | |
| Turntable Essentials? Maybe not now, but put it on the list: A record cleaning machine. | |
| It was 44 years ago that... I'll throw Joy Division's Closer on the table. It had a large influence on the rock bands that came after them. Nothing like the Beatles will exist again. They were a cultural event. | |
| Noobie. Vinyl reissues. Am I expecting too much? It's hit and miss. That goes for used, reissued or new. Here's one I just received from MFSL that is scary quiet: Dead Can Dance "Into The Labyrinth". I have to say that all of the MFSL Silver Label reissues I've recently bought have been exceptio... | |
| vpi cleaner Should add that I had cleaned about 500-600 lps when the seam split, and I'm still using the 16.5 now. | |
| vpi cleaner One corner joint on my 16.5 split from water seeping into the seam. I'm not that surprised since there isn't much more than a butt joint and some glue to hold it together, so I'll probably reuse the internal parts and make a stronger box myself. E... | |
| What are the $5000 options Thanks, Hi hifi, for the information. Linn, I believe, is also in Miami | |
| What are the $5000 options I have no objection to a vintage turntable, but, unlike new units, they are hard to audition unless you have a friend or a friend-of-a-friend with that particular unit. Even new tables are difficult to audition; hence, my driving two hundred miles... | |
| What are the $5000 options Thanks, Manitunc, for the invitation, but I think that day's going to be a little too crowded for a visit. But i've read quite a bit on the Fat Bob and Transrotor; I'm really impressed by both. | |
| What are the $5000 options If is the position I'm in at the moment. Luckily I have time and patience on my side, so I'll drive to Miami--not a bad thing whatever the end result--and have a listen to several turntables this week. | |
| What are the $5000 options Two arms isn't a necessity, just a nicety, but thanks for the Transrotor suggestion, Manitunc--I'll look into it. I've found a couple of others in the Solid Machine Small and The Acoustic Signature; both, I believe are made by the same German manu... | |
| What are the $5000 options Yes, I owned them. The models were entry-level, or slightly better, and i didn't expect them to be their best representative. That said, I think I can move on for the money I'm putting down. I want a versatile table, something that's capable of ch... | |
| So, what DON'T you spend money on? I have the whole catastrophe. |
