Only tubes and vinyl will do

What a great system, sorry I have not noticed and posted before now. Did you try many record clamps before deciding on the Shun Mook? I always wanted to hear one in my system.

The outboard electronics for the Technics, by themselves, cost as much as I have put into the C37 to date. Exactly why mine is still stock. Technics is w...

What I wish for is a pro level machine, tube or transistor that accommodates quarter and half track at all speeds, regardless if it records or not.I bought the 1520 because it plays quarter...

That's quite a compliment to the drive system of the MK3. I envy you getting to visit with them. Did they play anything that you can report on? Tapes or LP?
