high end progressive scan dvd player
And for those who are interested, I've just found out that Pioneer will be releasing two new "Universal DVD" players under their "Elite" brand come fall. They will be named the DV-45 and the DV-47i (which will probably be nothing more than an upda... 
turntable recommendation
Thank you "Sdcampbell". Because that's what I have right now, a Thorens. I have the TD-147. But I am also with Marakanetz when it comes to his turntable suggestions as well. 
Monolithic PS1 HC1
Tbird:I don't see why it wouldn't. I am getting one myself (a Monolithic PS-1 + HC-1). I was going to get me a Rega P25 to use with it myself, and then I decided get me a Thorens and wait awhile. I will still get me a Rega eventually, but right no... 
Dust Cover for Thorens TD-147.........
Bob:Thanks......... I have done that. I also pasted it into my browser. I am going to try Thorens first and see what they can do. If they cannot do anything after I contact them, then I may be giving "Vtvu" a call pretty soon.Thanks--Charles--

How does one get off the merry-go-round?
Drubin:I cannot speak for anyone else. I think that everyone else has their own way of getting off of the ""high-end" audiophile component of the month" merry-go-round?? Me myself??? If you were to liken me to anyone here at "Audiogon"??? Then I w... 
How did U get into this expensive hobby?
How did I get started into this expensive hobby of "high-end" audio???Well, it all started in the summer of 1977 -- at the TENDER age of fourteen. While at that time, I grew up with a Masterworks "all in one" AM/FM Stereo Receiver with a 3 Speed G... 
5 most overrated movies ever......
Kirk:Here are JUST a few of my favorite movies. Movies that I have the good fortune of owning, and thus, have become mainstays in my movie collection. These are movies that I will look at again, again, and again.And they are:(01). Die Hard.(02). D... 
Tables with no belt change for 45's and 33's?
Well, any Thorens model will do. Their power switches often double as speed selectors. In order to power the table up, you will have to select either 33 or 45 before you can get the platter to start spinning. How much simpler can that be??? Want a... 
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
I don't know what is going on here, but it seems like everytime I print this, part of my post seem to get cut off. So, I am going to state what my "dream" cars and my "most loved" cars once again, in the hope that this time, they'll show up when I... 
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
Tireguy:Sorry about that. But that was what I meant. An Audi A4 2.8 (but anyway, unless I stop buying hi-fi equipment, Hondas are going to be all that I can afford to drive) :).--Charles-- 
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
And Houndco:Here is couple more for good measure:My second "dream" car a TOL Mercedes Benz (preferably, one of the "Kompressor" models with the powered hard-top that disappears at the touch of a button).And now, I am going to throw in a couple of ...

5 most overrated movies ever......
Star Wars???? Gee, how about Planet of the Apes??? Also, I thought that Unbreakable was a WEEEEEEEE bit overated. A lot of people in my area made such a big deal about this movie when it finally came out on DVD that I just had to buy a copy myself... 
Converting to Analog
Brtritch:Great post. Oh.... I like the nickname ("The Cheapskate) as well.--Charles--
