| Turrntable With or Without Suspension? Technics 1200 is the closest you'll get to what you want. However, it needs lateral damping. Why don't you put spikes on the wooden cabinet? That would be a first step to getting everything moving in unison... | |
| "Analog" = bloated, rolled off, soft and mushy? My digital rig is all solid state and sounds wonderful. Tubes are not needed--proper power filtration is, though... | |
| Van Alstine Longhorn Cartridge? Why not give it a try? For the money it's a no brainer. | |
| Back into vinyl - part 1 I have replaced the DC power lead from the stock 24 ga to 18 ga solid core copper from Radio Shack. The improvement was almost as radical as installing the power supply. Installing a cryo'ed power cord in the outboard power supply also is a dramat... | |
| Is the Rives Audio Parc an audiophile component Why would Rives make a second rate component, anyway?The guy's up front about everything he does and he started just like one of us here in this forum. His track record speaks for himself, including the acoustics forum in the Asylum.*** | |

| Poor student with a SL-1700MK2, which needle? I use a modded Stanton Groovemaster II ($200) in my KAB modded Technics 1200. Great match. I think the Stanton 681 would be a great second choice...*** | |

| Trying a turntable-it sounds crappy, what's up?? "Was kind of hoping I could get something fairly decent for 5 bills, but maybe that is not realistic."http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=64626&item=5736422709&rd=1There's some people here that have good analog knowl... | |

| That nice, unforced, relaxed, easeful sound ?? There're some psychedelic drugs that will let the brain *see* sounds! | |
| Power cord to add ease and tame treble. If you ask the wrong question you're bound to get the right answer for the wrong problem. Your problem is not the power cord... | |
| Trying a turntable-it sounds crappy, what's up?? A Technics headshell will take just about any cartridge. An integrated headshell cartridge is also an option. I use the modded Stanton Groovemaster in my KAB modded 1200.A Stanton 881S should be in your short list of cartridge choices. The sound i... |
