    I would advise against that. You could go blind.

    Is this the TT you're talking about?

    Heck, Polk could roll out a turntable; everybody else has, or soon will.

    Thanks!

    I think a Polk tt is the way to go. Maybe a heart-shaped platter, in honor of the heritage. Y'know? Mac = big blue meters. Polk = dotting the "i" with a heart :)

    I think that the OEMs can make any changes the customer might want.

    Political Correctness is a doctrine that still works. This place is dead doesn't work, it's the dead wood that doesn't.... work.

    So Warren, are you saying you like picking them up by the clean end?

    That McIntosh MT-10 table is pretty, for $8,000-$10,000 it should be art-like as well as high-end analog. I think the McIntosh gear looks good when combined with other McIntosh pieces. Some other brands were like that too, S.A.E. comes to mind. But what happens to the supplied LOMC cartridge when the speed is upped to 78RPM by the front panel control knob? BZZZZZZZZ, arm goes flying-broken stylus!!!! I would think you would have to change to an appropriate cartridge and stylus to play an old 78 shellac disc. And why did they include 78 on the table anyway, either stupid or smart marketing perhaps?

    you guys are depressing.

    It's rainy here today. Which meannnns...
    It's a good day for, in no particular order...
    • Reading,
    • Music,
    • Movies,
    • Junk Food,
    • Naps,
    • and all other little fun audio projects that we sometimes put off pending an excuse like a rainy day keeping us from all other adult responsibilities requiring travel or work outside, liiiiike...
      • Cleaning records
      • Tidying up racks and cables
      • Working on old gear
    All of which are on my to-do list this weekend while we have this rain hovering.
    Yard is mowed.
    Life is good.
    You freakshows :pB)

    Grey & drizzly here today (too) -- a good hifi/play day.
    Unfortunately, we have an elderly kitteh who is headin' for the door :( so it's also a kitteh death watch day here today. He has an appointment with the infinite on Monday, but it's gonna be a long weekend.

    I am going through tubes.
    Zappa (the kitteh) is close by.

    On the bright side, I found that danged 5V4GA that disappeared a month or so ago! :/
