    Oh boy, do I want one of these!

    Ahh, being 74 I do remember the written,verbal and scientific controversy over FM Stereo and how many said "it would never work"...now I listen to it everyday.

    What Cartridge - Stylus Should i Choose

    No SAS personally owned, but my 97xE with the ViVid Line Stylus by LPgear to my ears sounds very close in an A/B comparison with a friends SAS on the same table at considerably less cost. Some think it's actually better. http://www.lpgear.com/product/SHN097xVL.html

    Genuine Thorens TD-160 MKII belt?

    OK, ordered my belt today. Interesting, during our conversation he mentioned they have sold over 600 Thorens belts this year to date compared to just under 200 all last year. I would imagine this speaks somewhat to the resurgence in vinyl we are seeing...or not, anyway still an interesting...

    Genuine Thorens TD-160 MKII belt?

    OK guys, think I have found the solution. AudioAdvisors in W. Palm Beach, FL., a Thorens Distributor. Decent prices and shipping, a real person answers the phone and very helpful/friendly. Belts are new manufactures from Thorens and are not old stock. Now at least I know what I'm getting...

    Anybody have a template for cutting 'Dynamat' to fit the lower plate of a TD-160?

    Thanks, but it's not the sub-platter I was asking about... but rather the bottom plate of the table which houses the bearing well.

    The "Improved" Shur-line Paintpad Record Cleaning Brush

    Since Vince1 started his great "Record cleaning, your doing it wrong" thread, I've been wanting to post this. Well, I'm finally getting it done.

    Record Cleaning: Developing the Best Possible Methods

    Great thread Vince...I've been using Triton X-100 in dH20 for several years now but without the IPA and have been generally very pleased with the results. I would now like to add some 99% IPA to my to mix to aid in the cleaning process and also to perhaps help shorten the drying time. Since I...
