    Damn, threads like this get the vinyl bug going again.
    I went down and listened to a good tube setup with Dynaudio
    speakers and a good jazz record at a audio shop in Kansas City today.
    Pure heaven!
    Makes me want to go home and chuck all that other crap
    out and go all analog.

    Go for it!

    Life is good!!!

    Now I want one!:mad:

    I still say that periphery ring scares the hell out of me. I can see me having my Airy 3 touch down and that thing ripping the stylus right out of it.

    I'm glad things went well Bro. I'll be talking to you soon.

    It's pretty low key. There's nothing out front to even tell you it's there.

    I have found a couple of gems while out traveling.

    Let me guess ahead of time....it's AMAZING! :)
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    so far...about right.

    It's a pretty substantial upgrade over my previous table in most respects.

    In most respects? So...in what respects isn't it an upgrade. Just curious.
