    What does your gear say about your personality?

    That too much of everything is Just Enough, but only in moderation. I have too many turntables, too many receivers that don”t work, and not enough speakers of any quality, But it sounds good to me….

    Pioneer PL-10: How good?

    My First Turntable back in the day was a Pioneer PL-10, with a Sure M91ED cart. I loved that table….wish I still had it. Very simple, elegant, (in its own way) decent sounding record player. Grab it and enjoy it….

    Just got a Micro-Seiki DD-40 from an estate sale...

    I’ve got 4 working turntables right now, hooked up to 2 different systems. Takes less space than speakers, true; but connections can get complicated. I like switching between the 3 I have connected to my “main” system… I have the Stanton 681eee/LP Gear stylus on a spare head shell on my DQ...

    Turntable Light

    I've got one of the IKEA gooseneck lamps to light one one of my TT areas I had it resting on top of a cheap, repurposed CD tower, to light both TTs, one on a shelf, one on a low table. Every once in a while it would flicker and fade. When I tripped over my subwoofer a couple of months ago...

    Underwhelming Project debut carbon evo with Acrylic platter

    I've owned a Debut Carbon for a few years now. Ran it as I bought it for a few months, then started the upgrade cycle, which is one of the reasons I got it.
