| "New" Thorens 124 sounds great, but... Take the top platter off and see what happens. | |
| "New" Thorens 124 sounds great, but... Could the lift platform be at an angle such that it pushes the arm back to the rest when you lift it? | |
| Does my amp have enough juice to power my speakers? @arctikdeth Easy there feller. 20Watts on 99dB horns will trounce your noisy Harleys. | |
| Interesting vintage find Time's a bitch. I dread the day I lose interest or get too old to bother. He really should power it up every few months. Last thing he needs is those Krell caps exploding. | |
| Spam Prevention Thank you! | |
| Vinyl vs high def audio i.e. 24bit / 96 or 192khz Thanks @atmasphere for pointing out that (some) vinyl may actually be a superior format after all. Despite the dissenters who've never heard higher-end vinyl reproduction, it's an affirmation that there is something tangibly and qualitatively bett... | |

| Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black Chakster, Where is the OP gonna get a used 881s with a good stylus? There's a couple on eBay of unknown quality. While I acknowledge the quality of the cartridge, it's not really viable advice. | |
