    I bought a few records from @mswanson65 and have nothing but praise for Mike. Albums were as described, and carefully packed. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again. A+

    Empire 2000 replacement stylus

    Greetings friends. I thought it would be best to post this question here instead of the big Empire thread. I'm looking at picking up a new stylus but I'm not sure which way to go. I'm looking at the (4237) EVG and Pfanstiehl that VOM offer. If you have any experience with either of those...

    markshan delivers the goods

    ...well, not literally. The postal system did the actually delivery of the outstanding records I purchased from @markshan. The albums were, to me, better than described and packaged wonderfully. Thanks to Mark, I'm spending Christmas with Buck Owens And His Buckaroos. I couldn't be happier.

    Thumbs up for Northwinds

    Actually, 5 thumbs up for @Northwinds. One thumb for every record I received. Smooth transaction, shipped quickly, and records just as described. Thanks Ron.

    Nothing but praise for paulvo

    I had a recent transaction with @paulvo. I am beyond happy. The albums were protected better than any I've ever received. They were also, in my opinion, in better condition than described. They play flawlessly. I gave them to my 9 yr old. He's thrilled to add 2 more KISS albums to his...

    I'm a glutton for punishment

    I stopped into a used record store, in the Muscle Shoals area, after work Friday. I haven't been there in a while. I was reminded why I don't go there often. Nothing is priced. He does that when he 'inspects' what you want to purchase. Some records are in great condition. Other's appear to have...

    I rescued a SL 1700....

    ...from being bought by someone else. I was up in Flint Michigan this past week and found this beauty looking lonely on a shelf in the record store. I'm soft hearted so, I adopted her. Super clean. A few scratches on the dust cover. Plays great and holds speed. The place looked like a home...

    L3 vs L80T

    I'm thinking about trading off my L3's for a pair of L80T speakers. The L80T's have not, to best of my knowledge, been modified. Am I nuts? It's for a secondary system that is not using a sub. The receiver is a Pioneer SX-990. I

    Nothing but praise for buglegirl

    Made 2 purchases from @buglegirl in the same week. Great seller. Exceptional packing and quick shipping. Would definitely deal with again.

    More praise for ryanward84

    I'm here to sing the praises of @ryanward84 again. We've had my grandson since he left the hospital and have full custody. My grandson's favorite bands are The Beatles, KISS, and The Monkees. He turned 8 on Saturday. I bought a Beatles album for him from Ryan previously. For his birthday...

    MCS-6602 arm return adjustment

    I've checked VE and the user manual isn't available. I've searched here with no luck. Is anyone familiar with the location of the return adjustment for this table? Maybe I'm too picky. The return is fine, until I get to side 2 of Sgt. Pepper's. It returns before it plays all of the runout...

    Nothing but praise for 91r100gs

    @91r100gs had an album that I didn't have. I had a serious case of lust for it too. He packed the item great and shipped it promptly. I would buy from him again at the drop of a hat. Aside from being great to deal with, he's a nice guy to boot.

    Great transactions

    I had completely forgotten about the Feedback forum. I recently bought an album from @ryanward84 for my 7 yr old Beatle fan. Album was packed very well and was in better condition than described. Thank you. Thanks to a fantastic deal with @ahartig I have my very first Grado cartridge...

    Shure v15 Type II

    Hi y'all. What's a fair price range for a V15-II with, non original, stylus? No headshell, no screws. Just the cart and stylus. When I posted it, I went by completed sales on the auction site. I'm going to drop the price tomorrow and bump the post. Can't bump it today because it hasn't been...

    Happy owner of a Sansui 4000

    I am the new owner of a 4000 and could not be happier (at least I don't think I could be). This thing sounds great. I was thrilled with my Pioneer SX-990. I'm mega thrilled with this. To me, it seems that the bass and treble have more "life" than the Pioneer. The tuner is fantastic. I'm...

    Better match for SL-D2 arm, V15 Type II or M75EJZ?

    Just curious as to which cart would be a better match for my tonearm. I have a SL-D2, a D-3, and a MCS-6602. The cart would be used, eventually, on all 3 tables.

    Installing a cart on AT-12T arm

    HELP!?! I know how to set up a new cart on my other Technics tables. Honestly with them, I cheat and use my overhang gauge. However, for this arm I can't find the info through searches. Can anyone help? Thanks, Joel

    My SP-15 is up and running. Finally.

    As the title says, I'm finally able to use this table. To say I'm happy would be an understatement. Because of my shaky hands, my son soldered the new RCA ends on for me. I told him if he didn't do it, there was no inheritance. Wait until he finds out there is no inheritance to be had. Lol...

    Lynyrd Skynyrd acetate First And Last

    A friend of mine stumbled upon 12" acetates of the album First And Last. He has no interest in selling but is curious as to the value. He plans on framing them for display in his record store in Muscle Shoals. The first track on disc 1 is lifting and rippled. The blank side (2) has a spot...

    If you could only have 1 of these carts...

    If you could only have one of these carts which one would you pick? I'm thinking about a new cart. I'm limited for funds. I'm running a Pioneer SX990 into JBL R123 speakers. Table is a MCS 6602 or Technics SL-D2. What do you think would work best? I have an AT91 with the LP Gear...

    What have I found? (Records)

    I hope this is the right forum for this. I've come into the possession of some old records. They're shellac. They're 80 rpm 12 inch records. What I've found so far is that, the ones I've located online, date from 1915 to 1917. I'm including a few photos. Some are normal 10 inch 78's, such as the...

    RCA lead repair help?

    Okay, I'm sober enough to try this. Kidding. My hands aren't shaking too bad today so, I wanted to try and get my SP-15 up and running. The first photo is what I'm working with. I'm assuming, whomever cobbled it had the right idea. I don't know whether to solder the wires together or...

    Have you discovered new (to you) music because of AK?

    Hi all. I had to take my wife to a specialist today up towards Nashville. With about 4 hours round trip driving time I started thinking of music/artists I've discovered because of AK. I always liked The Beatles but never listened to my cds. Thanks to many of y'all talking about (and showing...

    SX-990 - 7 months after purchase

    Hi all. Back in November of '17 I was in the market for a receiver. After looking and reading/researching for what seemed like "forever" (I'm not real patient sometimes), I purchased an extremely clean SX-990. I may have overpaid, or maybe not. I got it for $50 less than the asking price...

    Identify this cartridge?

    Any idea what cart this is? I didn't see any markings or name. It's on a table that followed me home. Well, we're not home yet....another 700 miles to go.
