| New to Turntable - what're involved in playing LP? I should have mentioned that there is a good DVD explaining set up in detail by Michael Fremer; I would get that and watch it before making a decision. | |
| New to Turntable - what're involved in playing LP? Remember, there were a FEW HUNDRED MILLION record players around before the advent of CD. They were not all owned and operated by rocket engineers. To be brief, it goes like this: disengage arm from rest, lift , and place on record. Reverse this p... | |
| Best platter mat for Acrilic platter ? I had several tables with acrylic platters and never used a mat but YMMV. | |
| Wilson Sophia III vs Sasha The Sasha's are harder to drive than the 3s so you might need a different amp for them. Also need large room for best results. | |
| Linn LP12 Bearing Lube I received the following some time ago:Greetings Stanley: We will be closing our doors permanently by the end of November. We appreciate your business over the past 7 years. To show our appreciation, we are offering all of our in-stock music title... | |
| Linn LP12 Bearing Lube Try the Linn shop on ebay and see if they have it; let them know that the US importer has none. I got mine from Spinning Dog last year; I understood that they were going out of business. | |
| Multiple turntables I usually have two connected; a VPI [model varies] and a modified LP 12. The LP 12 serves as a constant as I don't sell them; the VPIs are for sale. The Linn is mounted on a very old Russ Andrews Torlite stand with Star Sound brass cones for feet.... | |

| Best Platter Material Yes. it does matter what the platter material is even if you use a mat and no, there is not one material that will guarantee the best sound. There are three very important things in audio; they are EXECUTION, EXECUTION, EXECUTION. | |
| Isolation/Vibration control advise for a phono pre I had two friends who didn't believe they these devices would make a difference but both heard the difference right away. I have used several ; all of them worked , I am now using SR MIGs. | |
| Balanced connection from pre-amp to amp--Need help As Al said it is not a major problem, my CJ amp inverts phase; I think most if not all Conrad Johnson's do; as do many others. Just reverse the speaker leads as he says | |
| Magic Eraser as Isolation Feet Elizabeth, I find Swiss works better for Holy music. | |
| Is Gold Aero still in business? I remember them well, still have some of their tubes unused in a drawer somewhere I think. I always thought they were a marketing firm rather then a manufacture; that is they commissioned tube companies to make tubes to their specifications. But i... | |
| subs for Sonus Faber Cremona M floor standing I disagree with Rauliruegas about how to use the subs. I have found it ALWAYS better to run the speakers full range and only use the subs to augment the very bottom end. True, you don't relieve the amp of some work but on the other hand you are no... | |
| AC regenerator I use the PS PPP with a Meridian 200 transport and it sounds much better than from wall current even though I have 2 dedicated lines and Oyaide AC receptacles. |
