I was thinking the same thing, Comber...but I THINK it's one of those "HTPC" rigs (Home Theater PC)...
Not really HTPC, more like gaming PC.
Too loud at full power to be a HTPC

No, definitely not what I expected! But I have that SAME Windows startup screen on my Dell desktop PC! :thmbsp:
How do you like the Outlaw stereo receiver? You should move your stereo components to a separate room/area so you can have a dedicated two-channel rig powered by the Outlaw...just my two cents. :thmbsp:
Have you had a chance to A/B the stock felt mat with the Sleeve City mat?

I like the Outlaw but I bought it a long time ago when they first came out - in 2006 or so. It does have good bass management and sounds very neutral (the way amps and receivers should sound imho). Does not matter to me but for those with very high end turntables, it does have a MM/MC selector on the phono input. Also Outlaw is a local company so me wanting to support a local business did play a part in my puchasing decision.
As far as separate room - not feasible because in my case WAF pertains not to equipment (wife does not care unless I buy something completely outrageous) but to music itself (we have very different tastes) - thus listening has to be done in the basement, which already has a HT setup in a separate room, so the only area available for 2 channel stereo is the play area, thus the bizarre video game/vinyl setup
Okay; either way, I never personally understood the "HTPC" thing -- as an enthusiast of home theater, I run my Blu-ray player directly into an A/V receiver, which powers my speakers, with the video being passed off to my display (all via HDMI) and THAT'S how I watch film...:thmbsp:
Decided to try out Pro-Ject RM1.3 w/Sumiko Pearl (well, Amazon Prime makes it easy to try stuff out and there was a white one available at that time).
I have it installed at my desk at work, listening to headphones while concentrating on other things. In my situation, I can't tell the difference.

I just ordered one of these with a Grado Black installed. AC motor, Grado -- I hope it doesn't hummmmmmmmmm.
Anyone else have this combo?
Does anyone have experience with the version 2 tonearm? It started shipping back in October but I haven't seen many new impressions that might include the new tonearm.
it seems to me that we are pretty welcoming bunch when people are upfront about their situation
How so? Im looking at both.The U-Turn has been hyped too much, it is better than the Fluance though.
My memory is that he spoke highly of the table without first stating that he was related to a founder, and there were some posters who thought this wasn't quite on the up and up. I don't think that he was 'chased off' - it seems to me that we are pretty welcoming bunch when people are upfront about their situation - but there were some strong feelings on the part of those who supported the table and its crowdfunding, and those who were more skeptical about the difficulties of getting a table to market, and the challenges of staying in business, so I guess some see it that way.
I happen to be the father of Rob (Bob) Hertig, main inventor of the Orbit U-Turn TT and am very close to his years of work...
