Help platter required denon dp60 and Jvc ql10/tt101
Well the one for the dp60 is for a friend. One of my jvc’s got damaged in transport. All the electrics were sorted and the bearing just my platter is wonky   
Affordable vs. ultra expensive speakers - what's the difference?
@laoman  spot on. Why anything op? You are not gonna put a ford escort engine in a Porsche. When you get better components you tend to do them across the board. Top end speakers tend to adorn top end electronics. Anyone with an iota of common sen...

From Benz to?
i have spoken to quite a few cartridge dealers and most say that the LPS is one of the best all round cartridges - period. All said apparently the Audio Technica ART 1000 is a pretty impressive cartridge. cartridges are a real pain because you nev... 
Audio Note TT3 Voyd tonearm suggestions
The Audionote is the modern incarnation of the Voyd. They were always paired with Helius, SME's, and if money didn't stretch Regas. The AudioNote arms look like Rega variations - i might be wrong...  
Technics SU-R1000 - Good but not the king of switching amps
If wee went by measurements for everything then neither Messi or Maradona should be able to play football. Personally I am a vinyl freak but am itching to hear this amp - it does things i nthee analogue domain that I believe is only done by 50K n... 
The problem with streaming
@mijostyn you do make me chuckle 🤭. In ur own post you said you flick via ur computer library. @sns ​​​​@worldwidewholesales i think ur points are very valid. If it’s about sound quality we often don’t hear digital at its best - likewise maybe st... 
I am enjoying my analog system, but what can I do to improve?
@chungjh  i had expected nearfield would make the soundstage and imaging smaller. In my set up I found it to be the opposite. I noticed the room disappeared and the image stretched backwards. Try out the NSMT website article. I must say that my r... 
I am enjoying my analog system, but what can I do to improve?
@chungjh  I saw in another thread that you think thee speakers are not well matched to your room and I tend to agree. Electrostatics like space in front and behind. Acoustic Fields (do a search for them) do a free measurement of capacity vs drive... 
The problem with streaming
@reubent had it spot on. It allows me to check out music - if I like it I buy the vinyl.  Not just that but some music I can’t source - ie Carnatic South Indian music. The problem with it is buffering. I don’t have it expecting great sound but I u... 
MAT - platter material, thickness/ resonant frequency - thoughts please
hi @atmasphere  - that makes logical sense. A material that has a resonant frequency between the Vinyl and the Acrylic should theoretically channel it away into the Acrylic. I am puzzled how the heavy metal mats purportedly work. I read the SEAC ... 
MAT - platter material, thickness/ resonant frequency - thoughts please
Dear all   Can I just say thanks for the intelligent discussion thus far - it’s what I was hoping for 🙏.   @mattmiller i had always thought bareback with Acrylic platters - both of which you have - however - RDC clear light uses a cork mat and... 
Not sure Rumor or Truth that Max Townshend has passed?
Yes he sadly passed away on 31 December. A true maverick and audio genius. Cryogenic cables; seismic isolation; and front end damping production  (Bugge). A straight talking - dry - always engaging. I have a few of his goodies - cables - stand and...
