    Yamaha NS-10MMTs

    I received a pair of Yamaha minis from @KrautNotRice a couple months ago, but the room for where I was planning to use them is not currently available. (Darkroom & Covid related etc.) Today I unpacked them and hooked them up to a restored Advent 300 I got from @patfont. What a sweet little...

    New Cart from Osephjay!

    Just received an upgraded Denon DL 300 from our favourite re- tipping expert. Well, he is now certainly my favourite person to upgrade a phono cartridge. Led Zep 1 happened to be at hand having revisited it last night. It inaugurated the DL 300. I Get It! Never has my system sounded this...

    Original Recordings. Now.

    I love efforts like this. I’m not interested in hearing about the price of the products. It’s a niche and it’s cool. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/28/arts/music/electric-recording-co-vinyl.html

    Capital letter not automatic on new sentence..?

    It’s a small matter but I am curious if others have noticed, and been bothered by new sentences (on a new line) that do not automatically start with a capital letter? To me, the odd thing is the capital letter will appear if you delete back and start the sentence again. Don’t recall that...

    Hanna EH MC cart for Sony PS X7?

    I am still a little fuzzy on compliance and carts and tone arms. I have done some Googling and searches in this forum but have not found enough to know how to decide if the Hanna EH MC would be a good fit with my Sony. Yes, it’s listed in BT. Any education and opinions would be greatly...

    AK Acquisitions as Eye Candy

    I have picked up some great gear from Ak members over the years. Every transaction has been a pleasure. Last night I allowed myself the time to just listen. We know. Play tunes lots, but not always for our undivided attention. I picked the turntable forum because that's the heart of my...

    What's up with "General Audio Discussion"?

    I go to General Audio Discussion thread and all but the stickies are in a foreign language. Looks Asian? Not sure where else to inquire.

    Sony PS X55 Help?

    I was recently given a Sony PS X55. Not only is it seemingly a decent table, but also in excellent physical shape, except the dust cover - flawless. As well, it was originally my mother's and I picked it out at the Sony store circa 1980ish? Cut to the chase. An old friend who bought it...

    Techs in Western Canada

    I have just acquired a CR 2020 is excellent condition. No physical flaws and no scratchy knobs. It did get a de-oxit treatment from the previous owner. I understand the CR 2020 has a service bulletin (regarding excess heat?), and of course it is all original. I want this gorgeous piece of...
