    Greetings from Montana

    I suppose I ought to introduce myself. I'm nowhere near the audiophile or gearhead many of you folks are, but from the time I was a kid bringing home old stereos in my wagon until today, I've always enjoyed tinkering with vintage receivers, turntables, speakers, etc. I've been lurking around...

    Intro

    Good morning, I've always had a fondness for solid audio equipment and prized myself on being a step above what most people had, but when my AT LP-60 died I decided to start to really look into what I can do to build a nice sound system that isn't centered around my home theater system. It...

    Hello!

    well, I made a mistake- A big one. My first post was exactly what everyone said for it not to be, I was looking for help with a record changer that needed repair. I didn’t know I should introduce myself-there’s so many people on audiokarma, what difference does it make? But now, I realize it...
