Should add here, the Allnic phono has cleared customs in LA, I may get to hear it next week. The preamp is to follow.

Peter, at 80 hours the PC-1 should be showing you pretty much what it's capable of. I agree with your description of it's performance. The Mint should provide an upgrade, depends on how close you g...

Justin, "Got rid of" the Walker makes it sound like I disposed of something. The Walker is one of the greatest turntables in the world and the best I ever owned, until I moved into the di...

If you listen with spring + weight and weight alone for track force, PLEASE post results. I love the PC-1, it would be valuable to know how it reacts. I doubt the Air Tight Supreme would re...

BN,I have not used the Micro Seiki mat for long enough to determine if it causes any of the problems you mention. Truth is, I have not determined if I prefer the Micro Seiki over the three ...

Albert,Your testimony on the SP 10mk3 is pretty convincing. How hard is it for a guy to find one of those and if it's popular why doesn't Technics reissue it?

I think CES hotel rooms are such a poor venue, demos are done with audiophile (or only great sounding) recordings in hope of decent sound. The problem is, by the end of the second day I'm r...
