    Thrift find: Elac Miracord 760

    I found this turntable today for $25. It looks pretty clean. A Shure cartridge is mounted, but I can see nearly nothing of it. The dustcover could use a bit of polishing, but it has no serious damage. It appears to function mechanically, but there is some mechanical noise linked to the platter...

    Elac Miracord 50H Mark II

    Where is the best place to attach a grounding wire on the Elac Miracord 50H Mark II turntable? Mine has a fairly decent hum that lessens when I touch a grounding wire to it but I can't seem to locate a good permanent place to affix the wire. Thanks.

    New Budget System

    Hello AK! After trying many configurations in my new apartment I decided it'd be simpler to save up for new speakers than to try to make everything fit. After I made that decision, I decided to shoot for an entirely new setup. It will be for music and movies, but as far as sound preferences...

    Elac Debut B5 vs. Infinity Alpha a50 - Which used speaker to buy?

    Which would you recommend buying, the Elac Debut B5 or the Infinity Alpa a50? I realize these are two very different speakers, but I can't decide between the two. They are for sale used on CL for about $150, so no shipping charges. They'd be used in a fairly small room for mostly turntable...

    Elac B6 - great sound but vinyl looks cheap so I veneered them.

    I'm on a bit of a veneer kick at the moment - did my Pioneer SX-650, a Marantz WC-22 case and then another SX-650. I recently bought a set of Elac B6 speakers and while I'm very happy with the sound, the black vinyl covering was starting to grate my sensibilities as it did not match the other...

    ELAC Jet III Tweeters - praying to find a pair

    Hello friends, I'm in a pickle of sorts. Due to a tragic failure with my amp, the Jet III tweeters in my FS 209.2's have blown! Finding a pair of replacements is proving to be a real headache. I knew it would be. I've contacted ELAC directly and they have been "waiting to hear from Germany"...

    ELAC Miracord 50H II Motor Noise

    I have a 1971 Elac Miracord 50H II turntable that after a few minutes of run time, the motor begins to make a very loud whirring noise. I have pin pointed the sound to be coming directly from the motor, all of the other running gear is completely silent. This motor noise happens with or without...

    I am currently trying to make up my mind on which speaker to upgrade to over my Pioneer BS22's. Anyone have a comparison between the Elac B6 and the Wharfdale Denton 80th speakers? I am intrigued with the reviews of the Dentons describing them as "warm", "airy", "musical", "natural" and...

    Elac 10H running a bit fast

    I've picked up a beautiful Elac 10H which I absolutely love but it seems to be running a hair fast. 30 seconds fast over a 20 minute side. (~2.5% fast) Are there any ways to fix this? Its just fast enough that I can hear the difference. Any help much appreciated!
