| Turntable Choices All fine turntables. The three older ones will need a bit of going through since they are at least 20 years old. Oracle makes a kind of refurb kit that would bring the Oracle back to original, or better, spec. The VPI would need new oil and belt a... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm I own five tables right now, two DD, one idler and two belt drives, and the short answer to the question is "probably not, execution is most everything and all drive systems can sound damn good." | |
| Cartridge gain question KAB Acoustics has a really neat gain calculator that can be found here:http://www.kabusa.com/frameset.htm?/m1200.htmIt takes a lot of the guess work out of these calculations. | |

| Is it too much to ask.... RL, since you want to look back at this from an emotional angle, I am sure neither of us will loose any sleep in not becoming trading partners, but my feedback speaks very well of those that have taken the leap of faith and navigated my unfriendly... | |
| Is it too much to ask.... If we take the emotion out of it, there are two types of buyers on the 'gon, those that are looking for a specific item and and will attempt to buy it when it becomes available, and those that would like to select an item from the currently availa... | |
| Dealer selling B stock doesn't tell customers Sudz they threw you off of Audio Asylum and where do you land? Good use of Latin though. | |
| what would you do? Kevin sums it up nicely. It seems like an appropriate and measured response from the retailer involved. | |
