Need MC Step-Up Transformer advice?
No bad feeling Raul. I have absolutely no idea what you are saying. Could you repost in proper English? 
Need MC Step-Up Transformer advice?
Rather bizarre view that a step-up’s inability to conduct DC should be seen as a negative point. Especially considering that speakers, cartridges and amplifier have the same inability to conduct DC. Maybe we should get rid of them too?Having recen... 
Need MC Step-Up Transformer advice?
Hi SteveI have been using step-ups for a number of years, and they are not half as bad as people make them out to be. If fact, I much prefer the gain from a step up to active amplification.If you are on the cautious side and do not want to spend a... 
Linn LP12......That good??
Newmanoc. Rather sad to see you slate Mr. Salvatore the way you do. Having corresponded briefly with him in the past I found him to be well spoken, polite and gentlemanly. Audio is richer having characters like him around and I found his website v... 
Is a HO MC cartridge a good choice for me?
I second the K&K audio stepup for a low output MC cart, but the Benz in not a bad choice especially if the dealer will do the setup for you. 
What Turntable to buy under $600 ?
Johnnantias. I guess reverting to insults when you cannot produce objective reasons for your views is probably as good as you can do. Throwing insults at me is rather sad as you know nothing about me personally, nothing about my musical requiremen...

Sean, I was unaware Garrards were still available new. I was wrong, you were right. Are they better than Teres, VPI, Galabier and Progressive though? I doubt that and I doubt you will disagree on that either. In fact, I’ll eat my record collection...

What Turntable to buy under $600 ?
Sean, your point is what? You quote my statement of "Fact is there are none on the market" and go on to talk about restoring tables that have been OFF the market for 30 odd years? Surely you do not think that Garrards are still being sold no?

Johnnantais. I give you 11 out of 10 for trying, but you are crossing the line into the ridiculous.'So here's some actual facts'A few opinions posted on the BB are hardly facts. And no, simply because you really like these opinions don’t make them...

Psychic. I appreciate a person who sees the funny side of things. I do too (most of the time) . You keep on harping about my ignorance, but from my side the ignorance seems to be yours.'Greco, take this from the underground: the Creature on Steroi... 
What Turntable to buy under $600 ?
Dvdgreco. A $100 could improve your table to a level that may suffice, so you should consider it by all means. As an avid tweaker myself, I know the satisfaction gleaned from improving existing gear. But it would be very naïve to think a $100 can ...

"the Creature on Steroids will be at the $5K performance level"? LOL! Yep, sure it will, and I bet folks will be beating down you door for that no doubt. 
What Turntable to buy under $600 ?
Sean, taking my statements out of context to satisfy your infantile desire to make asinine remarks brings no value to the discussion. Why don’t you enlighten us how your post is any less [ignorant] than Psychicanimals? 
What Turntable to buy under $600 ?
Johnnantias. RB250 & Rb300 cannot track Koetsus. I have tried and it sounds like sh*t. I guess it may have sound nice to some, but I am sad to say those individuals would be better off with something from Best Buy. Having run the same cart (Ko...
