Odd,

Thanks for showing, haven't seen this TT before. Well, it looks sexy, but it appears to come with a cheap Audio Technica cartridge, low cost push controls on front, as well as a S shape...

Hi Widget,

Thanks for the helpful insight into the Crime of the Century record versions. That kind of makes getting an upgraded LP version somewhat unnecessary... Have Supertramp CD's also but...

Since I found a Canadian place selling premium records (221 listed) at more reasonable prices for many titles, than the prices I've bitched about previously here, now records may also be part of my...

RE "it's spread by 5G cell towers."

Oh boy! Some parts of the universe might need a realignment... Though seen on the news some folks are already getting in their doomsday underground shelters, in...

RE "Oh , just demo over the phone (or online), that's the solution to everything now."

Thanks a lot for that one. My LOUD laugh of the day!

Yup, everything taking place over the phone/net now,...

RE "Buy yourself something , finished a lot of work, deserve reward."

Yup, I vote for that too, big time! That tax year was worst ever, paperwork wise. But getting some $$ helps reduce the pain in...

Hi Sea, Si long time no see!

RE Pickering V-15

One of your recent finds, something re-discovered recently in your pile of boxes or simply a doc posted to show the V-15 model name was used, by a...

Tom,

Thanks for the corrected Shure link, it works!

Appears like good text but soooo long, read parts quickly here and there and its interesting. V15IV owner manual contains some of that stuff...

Yup, provided that ...

Can't open the Shure link btw, another Win 10/Edge gremlin??

A PRECISION RE LP RECORDS

Recently was somewhat pissed-off at vinyl records reissue prices (posts # 382 and 384), more so when trying to get younger folks interested in playing these. Also...

There's many lists of "best" TTs on the Web. As for this one I have my doubts re validity. Three AT models out of 7 total and those ATs are certainly not the best they have, but I figure price...

RE "...unlike our beloved and virtually deceased JBL, Oracle is at least willing and able to offer some support..."

Thanks Widget, had a good laugh at the virtually deceased, Sad reality though in...

Prices for parts are somewhat in relation to TT price...

Did you check EBay or others?

Is that price $CAD or $US? If CAD then figure your actual cost about $100. less when converted to USD....

THE RETURN OF THE CASSETTE...

Hi seawolf,

The most surprising data from the BPI numbers shown in post # 375 are, in my view, the constant increase of cassette sales for 7 years! I thought the...

Hi seawolf,

RE "If I had to pay those prices, TT's would NOT be a thing for me."

Absolutely agree, and that's my point. How can one encourage people with limited budgets to dive in new LP...

Hi Seawolf,

Sorry for the delay in coming back on this, more urgent things to attend...

Forgot to mention the following in post # 375.

First, Sony's Mini Disc format wasn't mentioned in...

Hi Seawolf,

As I mentioned elsewhere.

A Recent (Jan. 3, 2020) newspaper article I kept regarding media or support used to consume music has some interesting elements. I would think the trends...

Hi Tom,

Been getting lately a number of adds for Lenco turntables, about $80 to $250. Another hi-fi name purchased by Asian company (China)?

If my memory serves me well in the old days 70s-80s,...
