| How to cut sorbothane? See if you can access a lab supply catalog. There is a device used to cut holes in rubber stoppers used to connect various pieces of glass ware. I don't know max diameter available. The device is basically T shaped - the horizontal being a handle ... | |
| Spare tubes? How many? Thanks all...looks like I need to start budgeting for some backups. (Dfhaleycko - Thanks for the warning. Ain't going down that path! I'm running upgrades over the stock tubes now. Should be able to order same same for all 3 types). | |
| Scranton, PA Skipper320 - We've been out here 4 years. Still getting to know the area. I actually can't tell you if there are any SC audio clubs. Good luck making contacts up Scranton way. GH | |
| Brass door knobs as footers Oz - I used the cones under a Technics table not a speaker. But I do agree with your point. I cranked my cone tips totally down before installing. I'll check for loosening though I suspect this to be highly unlikely. $ for Loctite + 4 Parts Expres... | |
| Brass door knobs as footers Jmoog08 - I love a bargain, myself.I think the idea with the footers is to drain internal vibrations into a very small foot print so there's not a lot of area to conduct vibrations back up into whatever the equipment is you are trying to isolate. ... | |
| Scranton, PA Hi Skipper - More for moral support than practical reasons, just wanted to say hello from State College, PA. Too far west for you I'm thinking. Good luck getting things going up Scranton way.GH | |
| How does the Technics SL 1200 compare with....

| How does the Technics SL 1200 compare with.... Johnnyb & Jmoog - I was not as precise in my language as I ought to have been. The person I spoke to owned a Scout. He had the opportunity to audition at home a KAB mod'd. Technics table. He was very impressed with the Technics table. I didn't... | |
| How does the Technics SL 1200 compare with.... jmoog08 - I was looking at the same TTs as you are now. I contacted a well respected on line retailer. The guy I talked to had a VPS Scout...he recommended the Technics from KAB. His store didn't eve carry Technics. That impressed me. I ordered a ... | |
| Best sounding LP nobody else has ever heard of... Can't say no one else has heard of this band...but I do enjoy my original LP of the Greg Kihn Band "Kihntinued". | |
| Record Sleeves - Which ones and where? Hartwerger - Outer sleeves in my experience are typically larger and heavier gauge plastic "envelopes" that will accomodate the entire LP package...vinyl w/inner sleeve + jacket. I don't have these on all my LPs but where I do my practice using th... | |
