Just thought I'd mention here that I own one and that it indeed works- on toroidial transformers that is. I think they pulled it from their lineup. It was unfortunately expensive at retail ($300) but if you had a humming transformer that nags you it does the trick. I don't understand all the...

FYI

http://nh.craigslist.org/ele/2743571402.html I owned one of these a long time ago. It sounded nice, not sure why I sold it. The remote is unusual in that it has a knob for volume and a knob for balance. I loved that feature.

I know there is some low level hum in my system but I would have to crank the volume knob with nothing playing to hear it so it doesnt bother me. However I was trying to make a recording and I noticed it stood out on headphones and on the recording. Why would I get hum from the TT, if it's...

I want to just say that I'm actually glad I have limited speaker placement options. Have you ever moved them over and over never being satisfied? You can move them to enhance one recording, while another recording might not sound as good. If a double bass sounds like a double bass and not like a...

These have served me well. [attachment=13:1xpnc6xf]IMG_0290.JPG[/attachment:1xpnc6xf] [attachment=12:1xpnc6xf]IMG_0291.JPG[/attachment:1xpnc6xf] [attachment=11:1xpnc6xf]IMG_0292.JPG[/attachment:1xpnc6xf] [attachment=10:1xpnc6xf]IMG_0293.JPG[/attachment:1xpnc6xf]...

...But it is! [attachment=0:2om7qvp3]IMG_0288.JPG[/attachment:2om7qvp3] I downloaded an app level and couldn't believe what I was seeing, so I borrowed my neighbors precision level. The original house is over 100 years old and not built particularly well for it's day. No wonder anti-skate...

Happy thanksgiving all!

Ah well I had money burning a whole in my pocket at Audio Lab in Cambridge, MA today. They had this cart an being curious and hungry for more, I picked it up along with a new technics headshell, audioquest antistatic brush and Last record cleaner. A bit pricey but I'm glad I got it. I keep...

Here's an older picture of my amp. [attachment=1:1nv4x8vq]top view.jpg[/attachment:1nv4x8vq] I've had this for a couple years now and I rarely use it now. I removed the transformer (approximately 30lbs) and sent it in to be vacuum dipped. They do exhibit some mechanical hum but I found after all...

I've been messing around with the gear I have for awhile, and I've come to the conclusion I'm going to keep this old girl. Its going to need some work. The FM tuner is out. Quit about a year ago I'd say. The switches need some cleaning which is no big deal. The FM bulb never worked, cosmetic...

This old table looks cool, plus there are more cartridge options compared to my PMount table. http://maine.craigslist.org/ele/2687538332.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Thoughts? Thanks, Joe

So I picked this up over the weekend and it's a beautiful replica. Even though my current rig isn't high end on the vinyl side ( well not high end on any side actually... ) I wanted to see if there was anything about the listening experience that would draw me to pursue vinyl as a future for...

A friend asked me about this and I think it's a very interesting piece of gear. It makes me think of old school full featured receiver/integrateds that used to pour out of Japan in the 70's, but now here with modern updates. http://www.harmankardon.com/EN-US/Produ ... D=HK%20990"...

As some of you know I've longing to get into vinyl and the quest continues. Last week I got a Technics SL-B10 from a freind, a simple P Mount rig, with a low hour Empire LTD280 cartridge on it. [attachment=1:2dfkvhzw]IMG_0273.JPG[/attachment:2dfkvhzw] I'm surprised that it sounds as good as it...

Saw this for $25 at thrift. Looks clean. Opinions?

Hi, So just recently I got a Technics SL-B10 with an Empire LTD280 cartridge (P mount). Got this from a friend who claimed low hours on the cart. Its a pretty cheap affair, but I'm happy I at least have something to listen to records on now. Honestly, I'd have to say this sounds better then...

Saw a nakamichi CR1A at a thrift store today, in decent shape for $10. Brought it home, cleaned it up. I know this is a cheaper model, but this works and sounds great so far! I tried testing with a Maxell XLII 90, recording Leo Kottke's "Peculiaroso". WOW , what a difference in recording...

Theres a guy selling one local to me in good cosmetic and working condition for $100. http://maine.craigslist.org/ele/2634225748.html I currently have no turntable and the cheap new ones I bought/tried got returned due to issues. Thoughts?

http://www.stereophile.com/content/pion ... oudspeaker I wasn't looking for these, honestly. I tripped over this review googling and I'm a bit surprised at the positive feedback on such a cheap pair of speakers. $150 for the pair- really... Anyway, I thought it might be interesting for general...
