    I just picked up a really nice, clean SL-D5 turntable, with BOTH spindles. This has been taken care of well, It looks like it's worth the effort. Dust cover is in good condition, clean etc. etc. I was excited, but the seller warned me that there was a speed control issue. I thought, no problem...

    Panasonic Se-2819 and Technics Sl-220

    I found a Panasonic Se-2819 on eBay for 20 bucks and I tried looking for information about the model but nothing comes up. The model seems to have a preamp built in and as a beginner to vinyl on a low budget I'm interested to see if it's even a slightly ok turntable. There is also a Technics...

    Time alignment and imaging

    Ever since picking up a pair of technics sb-7000a speakers I've completely dismissed other speaker designs that utilize a flat baffle or non mirrored driver configuration. Up until my acquisition of the technics speakers I had never experienced stereo imaging. I had heard of it and read lengthy...

    Interconnects for SP-15 w/ EPA-250 arm?

    Hi! A nice looking SP-15 outfitted with an EPA-250 tonearm and situated in an SH-15B2 plinth kinda fell into my lap. It's really striking, but I suppose the most shocking thing about it is the budget AT cartridge that's on the arm. I plan on substituting a Grace F9 cartridge that I have on...

    What are these grills for

    I got these grills thinking they would fit a pair of Tempest Classic speakers I have. But they are to small. They measure 13" x 13" x 13 1/2". Just wondering if anybody here knows what they are for. I took some pics of different angles.

The audio I'm getting after hooking up the turntable to my stereo is very low volume, and full of static. I know the audio chord I'm using works, and the turntable does have the original ground wire...

    Technics still the best?

    so they say vinyl is a hipster thing, but I’m 40 and can attest that there’s an openness and more personal experience with vinyl than CD, than MP3. When CDs came out, I was excited to get this new technology, and eventually they made CD players for your car. Wow. But now I find myself 40...
