Oh, so my once had pioneer SX-1250 would have made the cut.
Absolutely!
-
how recent qualifies as vintage?
There isn't universal agreement to this question. Most folks think that vintage leaves off somewhere around 1980 or so.

Just for the fun of it, Craig!
This could really be a hoot. I'll throw in a Marantz 2330B, a 2020B and/or a 1060, and Sansui 9090.
I can bring my RF-7's if I can get some help moving 'em.

Nice little combo. Nice cartridge and nice table. Good job.

I've said it once, I'll say it again. The RB-5 is a special little speaker. It is very smooth and robust sounding, and plenty of punch for a bookshelf / stand mounted speaker. The KG might go lower, but I seriously doubt is will sound more appealing than the RB-5.

All these songs were killed in the summertime during various points of time during my youth:
Jerry Rafferty - Baker Street
Paul McCartney - Listen to what the Man Says
Cars - Its Magic (Summer, it turns you upside down)
Sly & the family Stone - Hot fun in the Summertime
Van Halen - Running with the Devil
Heart - Barracuda
Don Henley - Boys of Summer
Young Rascals - Groovin
Lovin Spoonful - Summer in the City
UB 40 - Red Red Wine
Bob Seger - Fire Lake
And there's more I'm sure if I think about it some more...

I'm reminded of a classic line from one of Rodney Dangerfields movies:
"If you want to look thin, hang around with fat people!".
Thus, if I'm feeling down about my inability to spell, I'll venture into the Klipsch forum and seek out one of Craig's posts! [

Would you guys all please just stop it. Just about every time Alan posts, my list of "I've gotta buy this" for my record collection keeps getting longer. I can't afford to hand around this forum anymore!

I have detected some acrid asides about spelling, lately. I would urge all the brothers to be charitable. It is the content that is important. Mark Twain once said that it was a dull man who couldn't think of more than one way to spell a word.

Ignore stupidity; challenge ignorance.
Whilst your post straddles that fence, I find the Twain quote refreshing. Thank you.
Here's another quote, or paraphrase, depending on which version of the Good Book you have:
"Do unto others as you would have others do unto you."
A little patience, tollerance and charity go a long way.

While I'm looking for a VN5MR i ordered a M97XE from Jacks. Anyone switched from the V series to the M97? Big differance? I would love to hear the V15V. My stylus broke before i got the chance. Any help on a new or good used VN5MR let me know. Any recomendations on a cart 200.00 price range? Im using a Thorens 125 with SME 3009 S2 Improved. Thanks Dave
About 5 months ago I sold my V15 III because I needed the cash. I had the opportunity to pick up an M97XE rencently, nearly new, for a song. While I can't in fairness, do a propper A/B, my take is that the M97 is a fine cartridge that competes well with other products in it's price range, but its no V15. The V15 had a smoothness and an extension that sets it apart from the current M97.
That being said, if I had $150 to 200 to spend on a new cartridge, I'd have trouble spending it on a V15. I think there are carts out there, like the Denon cartridge that folks post about here, that would seem a better value, and better long term option.

You just know that the VW Microbus could be the only vehicle associated with something like this.

Wuzzer - glad to hear you're diggin' the Cambridge. Damn fine player for the $$$.
-
Thank's Bill, i'm sure looking forward to getting them here. Just need an RC7 and the h/t system is finished, then six Mission speakers will hit eBay.
John
Nice score. Congratulations. Do post back when you get them, and let us know what you think.

Is Jim having his period?
-
Why these are still sitting there I have no idea. I don't need them, and I'm still tempted to snap them up. The RB-5 is a gem!

Is it Canada, the fishing in Canada, or the Canadian beer that is the cure for what ails you? [
]Things get a little better every day, but you don't miss him any less. Take care of yourself!
-
What would be a good option as a step above an older Denon that was an average CD player for its day?
I'm looking to spend $100 tops. Doesn't need a digital output.
I spotted this on A'gon a few days ago. This is a sweet little player. If your budget will allow a bit of a stretch, you can't go wrong here.

Larry was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. I'm glad the 730 has found a good home!

You'll want to pick up a product called De-Oxit. It is specifically meant to clean things like switches and pots. GIve all the switches and pots a good spray, and then work the pots and switches back and forth. It might also make sense on the pots to push down slightly as you rotate the pot clockwise, and pull slightly turning as you turn counter-clockwise. You amy need to spray and twist several times before you finally clean each pot or switch fully.

Paul - did you ask him if he's got a list of all his records? [

I dont' know the seller, etc., etc. Let me know if anyone wants me to check this out. I spoke to the seller last week, and he has a turntable I might go grab. My understanding is that the gear he's selling came out of a restaurant/bar that closed. It's supposed to be in OK shape.
-
Oh, holy cr@p! That's not a turntable, that's an audio engineer's cocaine induced wet dream. For all the $$$ and all that effort, the results bloody better be nothing less than stunning (it sounds like they were).
Max - when I win the lotto, I'll buy one of these and fly you over to check it out.

This is not a popularity contest. And I'm not here to make friends.
CMission accomplished.

Is this Thorens Worth Pursuing?
in 2-Channel Home Audio
Posted
You'll want to spin it up before you buy it. The spindle should turn w/o any wobble to it. If the platter starts slowly, the table will need a new belt.
$85 is a good deal. Its an even better deal if the cartridge is in good shape. Its a fully manual table, and has the classic Thorens fully sprung suspension.
