Quoted from Fulltilt:Is that platter acrylic or other material?
Acrylic, about 1-1/2" think. Heavy! I guess that reduces the wow and flutter.
Quoted from pacmanretro:Did you ever see the thanksgiving 2015 PBS special? That was neat. Arlo doing a 50th anniversary special concert including talking about and singing Alice's Restaurant.
No, never saw that. Wish I did. But I did see the movie Alice's Restaurant many, many years ago....and a few years ago listened to his remake of the song. Pretty funny in his remake song with reference to the 18 minute gap on the Nixon tapes!

Quoted from Shredso:I see that it's a weight. Do you think it's a worthwhile purchase?
Not necessary unless your turntable platten is too light or the table doesn't control wow and flutter well. In that case, adding some weight to the platten will decrease the speed variations.

Quoted from pacmanretro:Nice sign!
Sooo true....I, sadly, know too many people that don't even know how to properly use a turn table
That would be like asking somone to use the manual choke on my old Nova....or even a carburetor In general probably. Lol.
Similarly, I tried to pay for my hamburger at McDonalds the other day with a $2 bill and the kid behind the counter refused to accept it. Said, "haha, give me real money." We went back and forth a few times, i insisted it was real, he laughed. i finally caved and gave him a 5.
Quoted from vid1900:I always pay with Sacagawea dollar coins, and that sends people into a tailspin.
"This is legal tender, by federal law you have to accept this, bitch"
Many years ago (it was 1976 when they were new), I left a few Susan B Anthony dollars on the bar for my drink. I wanted to see the bartender's reaction when he picked up these "odd" dollars, so I stayed by the door until he picked them up. I could tell he was ticked when he finally scooped them up. No doubt he put them in the cash drawer as quarters and handed them to some lucky patron later.
Quoted from Goronic:Getting into vinyl for the first time. Decided to start with this one. Ever heard of it?
One of my favs.
Quoted from Jam_Burglar:Get em while you can. Shure announced its stopping needle production a few months back. DJs went nuts and bought up all the M447s.
Makes sense...the M97xE was $50 cheaper a few months ago. Do you think I should buy a spare now while I can? I really don't need a spare cartridge, but styli perhaps in the future. Surely I will be able to buy replacement stylus in the future, right?

Quoted from Fulltilt:This group is good. There is the top of a speaker seen in the pic.
Anyone that can name the speaker I'll send a very nice copy of Springsteen's Born to Run album. (:
Were they Empire speakers, maybe Grenadier 7000,s?
Quoted from Fulltilt:No, they looked like this. (:

Are they DCM speakers? I think they had a model called Timewindow.
Yeah! Totally cool, or circa late 60's I would say...that's boss!
I had a gf years ago that skipped our dinner date. Next day I asked where she was and she said she got invited to a Springsteen concert (with some guy of course). I said WTF? Her reply was...."hey, it was a Springsteen concert. How could I pass that up?" We didn't date too much longer after that.
Quoted from Fulltilt:No, they looked like this. (:

I just noticed in the background of the DCM speakers were some ADVENT loudspeakers....the smaller models. I had a pair of ADVENT's I used for many years in the 70's. They were ok...all I could afford back then. I'm running B&W's now. Way better.
Quoted from Fulltilt:It’s worked great for 45 years and going strong.

Quoted from EdisonArcade:OK, that's weird. I haven't listened to or even thought of The Cult for many years, and this exact album came up in conversation earlier today. I made a reference to the fur hat on the cover.
Where's the blue oysters?

Quoted from electricsquirrel:Me and Amanda got to see Dweezil Zappa this weekend![quoted image]
I miss Frank. I think I'll move up to Montana and raise me a crop of dental floss.
