| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II "instead of building and testing, there is a bit too much theoretical discussions just going nowhere"Yes, Francois. Unfortunately, you are correct. Here's a question to the Lenco Brethren:Which is your best arm/cart combo with the mighty L75 repli... | |
| vintage turntables? Some excellent links.Thanks everybody! | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Francois, Just joking. This is an excellent thread. Sometimes things get a little rocky. I am familiar with Lenco Lovers and it is fantastic! | |
| vintage turntables? Chuckalator, Check out the Lencos in my system. The L75 is a superb vintage table with incredible stability. Stability translates musical dynamics, rhythm and punch. Beware: A table of this caliber will only lead to vinyl obsession. | |
| young and new to analog update Get a new cartridge ASAP. Using a used, no history cart, might sound OK, but if it is defective, can damage your LPs. Look in the phone book under "stereo", tell them what you need. Don't buy a DJ cart. Should be less than $50. As to cheap, but de... | |

| Ortofon 2M Black- Graham 1.5/Rega/Origin Silver The 2M is reviewed in the current (just got it yesterday) TAS. | |
| Ortofon 2M Black- Graham 1.5/Rega/Origin Silver DSA, The 2M black is on my radar as well. I am not a fan of MM carts, but the review in TAS has sparked my interest. Please share your opinions/review if you happen to get a hold of one. | |
| Amp for Verity Audio Sarastro My vote is the Joule Heaven's Gate tube amps. A friend uses these with his Verity Parsifals. To my ears, the band is in the room!!! Excellent timbre, the kick drum has depth and punch. Highs are sweet and clear. Midrange- ooh-la-la. The Veritys an... | |
| Most popular TT upgrades: skeptical but curious... Rccc, How is it he can respond to my post, but I can't do the same to his?Are you the self appointed minister of this post?LOLBTW, I agree, it is (in) appropriate. | |
| Most popular TT upgrades: skeptical but curious... Frank sm (small thinker?) Yes. That's all. Less than a days "work". A master woodworker builds my plinths.Once a table is complete, it will serve a lifetime playing incredible, dynamic music from the darkest lows to sparkling highs.I have been thr... | |
| Most popular TT upgrades: skeptical but curious... It's healthy to be skeptical. Why buy a table- and need another platter, bearing for the spindle, pucks, weights, clamps, mats, stands, custom stands and more isolation stands that go under the other two? All you have to do is buy a Lenco, take it... | |
| How do you ship large items? Help There is a site where you can have various truckers bid for your services- something like "freightbid.com"? Search for it. I sold 2 pairs of Avalons using this service and both worked like a dream.The seller ought to find someone (phone book) to b... | |
| What's a good beginner turntable at $2500+- range? Good recommendations above, BUT, the best for the $ is a properly plinthed Lenco L75. Once set, it's record after record. Glorious music, all night long! Your Avalons will agree.Belt drives cannot match the Lenco idler wheel for stability. This tr... | |
