| Help deciding which TT You moved the T/T while the stylus was down on a stationary platter? Danger Will Robinson!! ;^)Your wife should have warned you to tape the platter first before engaging in these shenanigans ;^)You need a personal Force-Field to prevent you access... | |
| How much to spend on what component I'd say spend as much on the turntable and tonearm as you possibly can (assuming that price = value, which is not always the case!) and worry slightly less about the cart...As an aside, years ago Linn proposed total system "spend" in the form of a... | |
| Help deciding which TT Jeff, even with loudspeakers that have an early bass rolloff (bookshelves, electrostats etc), Users generally feel the use of an external sub-woofer is unhelpful when it comes to music.Sensibly applied it is, however, possible.My Martin Logan Vant... | |

| Help deciding which TT Some questions that may help the troubleshooters :- Is your shelf between the speakers or in a corner?(Placing it halfway along a load-bearing solid wall will minimise the effect)- How far away is the T/T (& cartridge) from the nearest speaker... | |
| Diving back into analog...which turntable to buy Zd542 has hit the nail on the head.

| Diving back into analog...which turntable to buy Dear Zd542, assuming this question was directed at myself, you should be aware this was an experiment conducted by a Spanish(?) audiophile society 7 or 8 years ago.

| Diving back into analog...which turntable to buy Apologies for going slightly off-topic. Remember this?http://matrixhifi.com/ENG_contenedor_ppec.htmI've been using a group of bog-standard Sony players for years. This must surely confirm my golden-eared status. ;^) | |
| Diving back into analog...which turntable to buy Mission, I'm mildly surprised at your experience of the LP12 (although I sold my LP12 many years ago). The Linn is more than capable of seeing off expensive CD players and giving you that "analogue-only" compulsion.I recall a friend evaluating a C... | |
