    Headshell for Scott PS 68 A turntable

    I have this Scott direct drive turntable. It has a straight tonearm, and the cartridge shell is proprietary in my opinion. I would like to acquire a second head shell, but when they come up on auction sites, they are expensive. I have even looked at buying a broken model to get the head shell...

    Following the Audio Path

    If anyone can post a link, I am wondering about the audio path from my PC desktop hard drive. What is the point of buying a motherboard soundcard, if you are going to take the outgoing signal to an outside chip amp? And doesn't the chip amp have an onboard DAC? I'm getting the impression of...

    A clean signal path

    Please forgive me if I am asking a retread question. I am wondering about my signal path on my desktop computer. So, the digital music files on my hard drive go through the motherboard, and are treated to the on board Realtek audio section, and then passed to the 3.5mm audio jack in the back...

    Open Baffle Speaker Build First Timer Questions

    A good friend listened to me talking about perhaps trying the new small Maggies, and also my old thoughts about a simple full range speaker build, after he said he had built the Nelson Pass Camp Amp, and despite the poor measurements and distortion, it sounded great. I talked about the need for...

    Turntable footprint size...

    I'm still trying to figure out a way to use my turntable. I have a Scott direct drive TT, with cover. Would the footprint be too large for a cutting board of 12" X 15"? I have a corner waist high shelf, and need a secondary one above the gear for the TT. I don't want to do a wall shelf with a...

    Who made the Japanese Sylvania gear?

    I have the Sylvania SCA020-Amplifier and its companion SCT020-Tuner. They look like 80's style slim case gear. They are made in Japan, and I can't find any info on who made it. I am sure it was just re-badged with the Sylvania brand name. It was destined for the dumpster, but I managed to...

    Rolling Stones: Exile: Virgin or Hip-O??

    Is there a digital difference between the two issues? I get the impression that the Hip-O issue of the remastered cd of Exile on Main Street is better, but I can't find any information on the 'net to back this up, nor if these are actually one and the same remastered cd. Different issue dates...

    A family friend is giving me his Sony PS-350 Direct Drive Fully Automatic TT. I have searched the internet for reviews, and it is not even on the Vinyl Engine's Library Archives information. It probably came out around '80 to '82. It has a straight arm. Any reviews or feedback would be...
