TT. this TT is plenty good to start with, I used it for many years. later, when hooked you will know more and upgrade. $230. https://... | |
| Amplifiers weight My MC2250 weighed 80 lbs. It was a gift, so, Zero per pound. Until, moving it out of a low shelf, I got a torn meniscus in my knee, surgery, .... it turned out to be a darn expensive amp. | |
| Turntable, Two Arms, Stereo and Mono: Is your system ready for 2 phono??? You can see how you would get hooked by this, I inherited it in 1973. It had a Viking 2 track tape deck in a drawer (I have it and some extra parts). Viking 75, has 3 heads, so it could play either In-Line (the agreed standard eventually) or Stagg... | |

| Turntable, Two Arms, Stereo and Mono: Is your system ready for 2 phono??? thoughts about it arriving with inexpensive preamp?IOW, if ready to go, will I be able to sell it easier, ... successfully ... not stuck with it ... IOW, better just live with my existing setup with extra hole. | |
| Tonearm lift I tried the type to automatically lift the arm at the end of play, like this: https://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-AT6006R-Safety-Raiser/dp/B07HKX6WL7/ref=asc_df_B07HKX6WL7/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312094681626&hvpos=1o2&am... | |
| All the brands I don't like... thanks | |
| Are Bowers and Wilkins speakers overpriced? a few thoughts.either you like them or you don't. looks and/or sound. If you like them, realize, you are buying years of engineering and production development, as well as the resulting fabricated pair.if you don't like them, then, they are very o... | |
| Non-rear ported Speakers IF ports, front ports only to retain directionality of bass and those bass note's overtones.IF subwoofers, a small stereo pair, same reason, and sub self powered, wired so that the bass chores are eliminated from both the main amp and main speakers | |

| MoFi - Are You Kidding Me? that is not a big deal, and it is a big deal. hopefully no audible problem, but they just lowered their standing with you and anyone you talk to, with such a preventable issue.I would tell them, give them a chance to tighten up their staff. | |
| $3000 stand mounted speakers? generally, ANY stand mounted speaker will have less bass than ones with large cone drivers which is fine unless they try to do too much, ports, passive radiators, ... My advice is to avoid rear or side ports, if ports, front only, to avoid rear/si... | |
| Albums that you listen to straight through / start to finish whenever you put them on! LP. Only if I know I don't like the last track on a side, otherwise I play all tracks.Like others, the whole LP, both sides, unless more than one disc and I run out of time.Occasionally, to let someone else hear 'the best' of something, I will dro... |
