    reissued vinyl

    Depends on the release and the pressing. Example: Rumours by Fleetwood Mac is the 45RPM re-issue and sounds fantastic. You can't really compare the Metallica and the Amy Winehouse as these were the budget line 'Back to Black' series release from Universal which they started around 2011. I have...

    Hi there, I have a fully working PX-300 and I know that Mahleu had the original Headshell for this table. You can ask him. Let me know if you would like pictures etc of my TEAC. It is for sale and maybe can assist you somewhere down the line. Hope this helps!

    How good are the Mission 733 Floorstanders?

    Thanks Mahleu and naughty for your feedback. As mahleu suggested, they are priced really low! R1000 seems a steal! Demo later today!

    How good are the Mission 733 Floorstanders?

    Hi everyone, I am looking into buying a pair of these to replace my low-end Pioneer speakers. I have a Marantz PM35 MkII amplifier. My main source of listening is vinyl and I have a Lenco turntable. How good with this match up be? Any improvement over my current set up? Or should I get myself a...

    Turntable Level

    Thanks for the reply guys - the left back 'leg' had a broken screw and it was offsetting the table. I have managed to prop it up with some cardboard for the time being. Will have a proper look this weekend. When I study the level now, it is balanced on all sides across both axis. Thank you...

    Turntable Level

    Hi everyone, I was just wondering which part of the turntable or platter should I check the surface level using a spirit level? Should I be placing the level around where the spindle is (ie with a record on the platter, where the label is?) or should it be along the radius of the arm/needle...

    To all the tone arms I have loved so far

    I know many people don't rate it too highly, but I am really enjoying my Linn Basik LV V on my Lenco B52/L75 custom that AR built. I'm thinking of slapping a Goldring 2100 cart on her just to see if she sounds even better than the Grado that she came with when I bought her. :thumbs:

    Pearl Jam first 3 albums bundle on special on Pop-Market @ R652.28 ZAR !!!!!!!!!

    When I ordered my Pearl Jam bundle from them in 2012 it was sent via UPS and arrived within 4 days and i paid nothing extra - no duties etc. Recently I bought Led Zeppelin's Mothership 4 LP set which, like the Pearl Jam bundle is a premium product and this time I paid around R160 extra in duties...

    Record Mad in Linden to stock REGA TT's

    Hi guys, I thought I'd post this as some of the forum members might not have Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=571905339547973&set=a.265113916893785.63271.100001855371642&type=1&theater Not too bad pricing either.

    Reloop 2000 Turntables

    tried and failing at the moment with the PL-12 hum. Looking for something i won't need to fix up. Won't be giving up on the PL-12, just want something i can power up, cue and listen to the brief crackle and pop before the bliss! With the TEAC, I've upgraded the cart and it's quite decent - but...

    Reloop 2000 Turntables

    Thanks for the reply guys. Basically, i have a budget of around R3k. But i am so confused that I don't know where to look for a decent upgrade table. Currently using a very noisey-humming PL-12 and a lovely TEAC which I got from mahleu over a year ago and is decent. I just wanna step it up a...

    Ditto. I inserted those anti-static record sleeves into the jacket it comes with and it's fine now. I saw someone on this board complain about surface scratches on the record somewhere earlier on - i'm willing to bet that it was possibly from sliding the record out of the printed paper sleeve...

    that sucks. really unfortunate that you've had a poor experience thus far. Generally the guys there are pretty efficient and reliable. Try Gemm.com as well. They are pretty good too. Good luck!

    Hmm...that's weird. I generally get responses within an hour or so. I've bought a lot from discogs lately. Have you checked your control panel on discogs in your messages or order body? Sometimes they reply within the order note and it can be easily missed. Also, check when was the user last...
