Head impedance Technics 1500
Sorry I assumed that all would know, this is a Technics 1500 reel to reel. My apologies. Anyone know the head impedance for this popular reel to reel deck? 
User replaceable option for SME 309
@yogiboy thanks, am leaning that way@best-groove indeed, it has had a Lyra Helikon but it is part of the number 2 system that is dedicated to inventory appraisal and with the number of records played daily a change has to be made. 
Speakers under $5000 maintained a reputation for quality sound over the last 15 years.
Dali Euphonia MS-4 worked for me. 
SME 312S issue
Mine does not work at all on the fly since the screws at the base have to be loosened for the clamp to allow the post to move. Will check with my gurus about the headshell, as far as I know I inherited the stock removable headshell that originally... 
SME 312S issue
As mentioned I seem to have stopped the serious mistracking by very slightly lifting the outer side of the assembly into a more level position. Seems odd that what was a well regarded arm has such inelegant ways of adjusting azimuth and VTA. I am ...

Anyone else a big fan of Norman Grantz' Pablo Label form the 70's/80's
An Austin buddy(formerly from Chicago) feels most of the Pablo artists were well past their prime 
CD/Vinyle Estate sale question
I am one of the few idiots that buy large intact classical collections, but I am near Dallas and probably can not squeeze in the 10000 discs you have in with the 100000 I have. Dealers will come to you to cherry pick the most valuable items and th... 
Record collection sales addvice
As one of the few idiots that still buys large intact collections(usually classical) the amount you hope to get per record is quite optimistic, unless you have mostly highly desirable titles and they are in great shape. Might be hard for a collect... 
authentic space recordings
