new Technics Grand Class SL 1200G turntable
Tommy replied to Tardcore's topic in Turntables & Other Audio Equipment
Just saw this on TTL's fb page, thing looks very sexy -
I only received very limited information from Lovitt but from what Tom told me at the show both of the releases were at the plant at the same time, so I am assuming they will roll out about the same time. Fingers crossed

Looking for an Integrated Amplifier
Tommy replied to Tommy's topic in Turntables & Other Audio Equipment
You make a good point tardcore. I guess I never considered it before. Eventually i'd like to move up to a Moving Coil cartridge and I know the PM8004 is only a MM. Looking at the Cambridge - Azur 651P i can see it handles both MM/MC so technically, like you said, If i get the 8004 now I can eventually get a dedicated pre-amp if it ever comes to that. By the way, your Marantz TT 15S1 is my dream table. Thing is so damn sexy and i'm a sucker for all things Marantz -
Looking for an Integrated Amplifier
Tommy replied to Tommy's topic in Turntables & Other Audio Equipment
Allenh, i'm still on my hunt for an 8004 and think i have found one on Canuck Audio Mart, but before I pull the trigger I was wondering your thoughts on Integrated amp with phono stage (all in one) vs. buying an integrated amp and a separate phono stage pre-amp. I saw in a couple threads up a dude bought a CA 351a and CA 551p combo (which amounts to about $450 online). I know they say having these two components separate is generally better, and as I imagine it gives you more room to grow since you can upgrade the Amp and Pre-amp separately as you go. Worth looking into or stick with the 8004? -
New Needle vs. New Turntable - advice requested
Tommy replied to thebilljim's topic in Turntables & Other Audio Equipment
What Thomas said ^^. Hell, for $179 you can get an entry level U-Turn Orbit which is highly upgradable http://uturnaudio.com/ -

cartridge question...Atlp 1240usb
Tommy replied to kevbayer's topic in Turntables & Other Audio Equipment
Looks like that's more of a DJ cart. I would just return that one and shell out the extra $60 to get the 120E if you just plan on listening to your records -
PO: Third Eye Blind - Dopamine - 11/27
Tommy replied to gmoney's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Not seeing it mentioned in any of the 3eb threads but my Ursa Major (2nd press) and Dopamine (white) both have blank white spines with nothing on them. Did everyone's come this way? Just a bit odd to me they would not print the band name on either release -

Looking for an Integrated Amplifier
Tommy replied to Tommy's topic in Turntables & Other Audio Equipment
I believe it will work. If your turntable already has a built in pre amp, there will be no need to use a phono stage as the signal will have already been amplified. I there is a way to disable the pre-amp on the TT you could then utilize the phono stage on the HK. -
Not going to lie, it took me wayyyy to long to get this joke. Upvote for you my friend!

Looking for an Integrated Amplifier
Tommy replied to Tommy's topic in Turntables & Other Audio Equipment
After reading up on it I have shifted my efforts to the 8004/8005 and setup eBay notifications to keep an eye out for one at a decent price second hand. I don't mind waiting for one at the right price. Thanks guys! -
Looking for an Integrated Amplifier
Tommy replied to Tommy's topic in Turntables & Other Audio Equipment
Yeah, i'm in the $500 ballpark right now and have no need for a DAC. So basically a basic, no frills integrated amp is what i'm looking for. May search for the 8005 if i can find it second-hand etc. -

Tommy replied to Tommy's topic in Turntables & Other Audio Equipment
Any thoughts on the Marantz PM5005? I am leaning towards that amp at this point. I was on a Yamaha A-S501 kick for a while, but I think i'm leaning towards the PM5005 based on reviews. Thoughts? -

Pro-ject turntable question
Tommy replied to axisrecapital's topic in Turntables & Other Audio Equipment
Yes, I have the DC model. I thought you just had to loosen them, not remove completely but I could be wrong. It's mostly the grounding issue that drives me the most crazy. Is yours close to silent when you crank the volume before dropping the needle? -
Pro-ject turntable question
Tommy replied to axisrecapital's topic in Turntables & Other Audio Equipment
I recently got a Debut DC Esprit. While it sounds good I cannot for the life of me get rid of the motor hum AND what sounds to me like a grounding hum. I also have an old MCS 6700 which this was replacing and it's pure quiet compared to the project, no buzz no hum. I bought high quality RCA cables for the Esprit but that did not help. I'm at a loss here, I almost feel like my previous table is better than this one. Am I crazy here? Should the project tables sound like this? Are they known to carry a light hum, does the motor bother anyone else? I'm within my 14 day return window with TTL so I may just do that if there's no fixing this -
PO: The Starting Line - Anyways 7"
Tommy replied to verb1999's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Classic TSL, catchy, short. A good filler song on a longer album is what I see this as. Glad they're back, even if its for a tour and to make some $$
