Decided to get back into vinyl so I went for the Pro-Ject Debut III as a starting platform to easy my way back into the format. I have only had it connected for about an hour but so far I have been quite impressed and am loving the good old sound of wax. :cool:

    Thanks, gents!

    I am very much looking forward to relaxing this weekend with some friends, sitting around, drinking beer, and listening to some vinyl.

    I currently have a Shure m97x, but one day I might step up to the Denon. I've heard nothing but glowing reviews on the Denon. Pretty happy with the table. It's really perfect for me for the amount of listening I do. Enjoy...and give George Grand some of you business.

    Nah, you need to sit around all weekend obsessing over tracking weight, cleaning the vinyl, what solution to try next, is the capacitance value right for my cartridge... :D

    Avantgarde horns, 300b tubes, thats the kinda crap I want... :D

    Welcome to the wonderful world of obssessive/compulsivness mutelight! It looks great.

    Now save up your pennies and get this clamp and you will be amazed what that thing will do to improve the sonics of the table. Trust me on this one.

    You too Drunkcaballo!

    The clamp I suggested will work on any spindle, screw down or smooth. It has the same collet gripping mechanism as the clamp I designed.

    Several people here have purchased the Clearaudio Twister clamp and are very satisfied with it.:)
