| Turntable placement Advise. Think again about putting a turntable on a speaker, working or not. It will act as a vibrating platform feeding noise back into what needs to be as stable a platform as possible reducing quality of output. Also what is the speaker sitting on? You ... | |
| Looking for integrated amp with phono for starter Croft Integrated. Tube phono and line stage with mosfet power amp stage. It's a minimalist design but fast and musical. | |
| Do you use a microfiber cloth to wipe LPs? No. I let the stylus drag though the groove and clean its own path! | |
| Turntable placement Advise. Well you can't put it on a speaker so it'll have to go 18 feet away. How about a phono amp beside it to drive the cable? Or wall mount it to the side of the center speaker. .. | |
| arm choices for a Garrard 401 Just get a second Jelco and sell the Gyro/SME. | |
| just an observation for comment I've been buying old Columbia,RCA,Decca records from the 50s and 60s because even though I may mot prefer to be listening to the soundtrack from Camelot, it sure as hell beats listening to some of the flat (digital?) crap coming out now. Wide open... | |
| Decca London Gold cartridge nightmare My Super Gold was transformed when I got John Wright to fit a paratrace tip. Highly recommended. Works great in a 12" Jelco 750 on a 401. It was never happy in my LP12/ Ittok. | |

| An integrated with a good phono Duh, I meant to say Croft Integrated. I have the Micro 25 pre. | |

| Thorens TD-316? I wouldn't. The arm isn't great. An Audio Technical 95e would be a better bet. | |
| Thorens TD-316? I had the semi auto version, the TD-18. I found it sounded a bit leaden and plodding. If you like a smooth sound that sounds a little slow, it might suit. | |
| What cartridge do I get now? OK, after some delays in the mail the refurbished Decca Super Gold came back with a new Paratrace stylus (and tie cord).Under the magnifying glass, the diamond looks very fine and thin after the rock that was there before. JW says it was 75% worn ... |
