  1. That's some picture. Are your ears really that big?
  2. Any poosibility of putting the Thorens on a wall shelf? I will say, on my very heavy credenza that I had it sitting on, it was pretty darn good about not skipping. So maybe try to make it a small, heavy chest of drawers. What cartridge you going to use? Don't go picking some light tracker in your situation!
  3. Michael, Did you get my email about me not getting your email?
  4. Wow, this is certainly a different quality topic than the usual China bashing thread. Wonder what's happening in Hope? I think I counted 4 people who were less than thrilled with their Heritage quality in this thread. My 2005 Mahogany Hereshy's were spectacular.
  5. Also can try www.flatearthaudio.com who is the North American source for SME parts. I like the place Mike mentioned and Flatearth equally well. As far as cables to use... once you install a new RCA conversion kit on the SME, any good interconnect should suffice.
  6. Not unless your MC275 comes with a remote.
  7. That's a very good point. If you believe the Linn literature, the cable and the way it is mounted plays a roll in the overall suspension.
  8. By the way, don't forget trying Linn directly. I'm not sure what your budget is but they offer new phono cables and upgraded phone cables. I had my Linn in for service a couple of years ago and purchased a new phono cable assembly for about $225.00 Way more that I usually would pay for a pair of interconnects, but for my Linn, it's was nice little excessive touch. http://www.linn.co.uk/find_a_retailer_detail/country/US
  9. The new belt must have cost more than the turntable. Good luck.
  10. Awesome. I'll bet you enjoy vinyl. Just do a little research on proper turntable set up and make sure you play clean records and I think you be impressed with how good a nice old lp can sound. There are thousands of ways to clean your records. Don't get too caught up in the details at first, just set up, find some good used vinyl and start playing.
  11. You mean you want to replace the tonearm wire? That's a tedious and not always so easy job. Wire guages of 28 and 30 aren't so easy to work with. And the disassembly/reassembly of the arm is usually quite painful.
  12. $75 is much better than $150. I think it's a decent record changer, not going to harm your records and should give a pleasing sound. The quality of the sound sort of depends on what you're used to. Do you have a turntable now?
  13. I haven't watched the Fisher receivers for a while. How much is "a mint" these days? It's always expensive to have a professional refurb these types of units. It's usually well worth it. Sometimes you get lucky and an the old beast will still sound good but usually, they sound pretty muddy until they are looked at by someone who knows how restore them. You might try looking for a Scott 222C or 299? I forget the exact model numbers. No stereophile review, hence less hype. But I think people here on the forum really like these integrated amps. More than the Fishers from what I can tell. There are wonderful matching Scott tuners for these models too.
  14. Erik, Sort of. I had a bunch of ST70 and MKIII chassis made in my fabricating shop a couple of years ago. Chris(the builder of these) bought some from me. A few other fab shops started making Dynaco stuff so I haven't run any for a while. My shop is a production shop so I can only really run stuff that has a little bit of volume. On another note, Holy Smokes, it's Craig. Must have resolved your computer problems?
  15. Bob Dole wouldn't likely get so excited over this now.
  16. Yea, it's pretty ugly. And of course every turntable should have a big blue meter on it's faceplate. Total cheese. Maybe it's just something they were doing for fun and laughs at the show.
  17. Yes, under "Center Channels", the tilt rod is explained as well as there should be supplied bushings to use to cover the holes if it is not being used. It is even illustrated in Figure 4. http://www.klipsch.com/media/products/owners-manuals/Ref%20IV%20man.pdf
  18. I see that. It's just that usully, the people who are out there looking to spend $100,000 plus on a bottle of beer are experienced collectors that would typically know the story behind such a bottle. Think what would happen if someone listed a pair of Jubilee's for 7 days and simply called them Klipsch. Certainly by auction end, someone here would have found the auction and spread the word. It's surprising to me to see one slip by like that.
  19. I don't get what was so different about the 2nd auction that warranted the price?
  20. For some good, relaxing guitar noodling I like the couple of John Fahey albums I have. CD's are available I'm sure. I like "Requia and Other Compositions for Guitar Solo". The album is recorded really well but I'm not sure what the CD would sound like.
  21. Don't be scared! They would likely work with a little dusting off and maybe a careful, slow start up. But being some 40 to 50 years old, they should be restored. Some people upgrade, some people rebuild them in stock form. What's nice about Dyncco amps is how easy they are to work on yourself. Tons of information, parts and plans are available on the web. If you decide that's more than you bargained for, pick them up and sell them here! I could use a nice pair of original condition MKIII's and I'd give you a fair price for them as would others I imagine. Good luck to you.
  22. I always fell for that shampoo scam. But to be more clear, you oil the bearing of the idler and you clean the drive surface of the idler. Same goes for the step pulley.
