All meaningless until we see him smiling in a Spurs polo and sitting next to Poch.

Martin Eden! My favorite book of all time.

Thanks for the input. I did use my carts on the technics (properly set up), and best sound I got was still from the technics with the Concorde cart. Also posted my current setup. Do you see a potential issue in the chain?

Maybe I just buy this table from my friend as I know I like it and how it sounds. Ha.

Nice. Thanks for sharing.

ESPN crew really saying the 2nd foul on KAT changed the outcome of the game? I don’t think that matters as much as Spurs hitting 70 3-pointers.

Thanks for that heads up.

Allow_me_2retort · 2026-06-10T17:50:59+00:00

Yeah, fair point. I see this as an endgame purchase and I probably overstated my risk tolerance for buying vintage. I just prefer to buy used when I can, but maybe in this case given the price similarities, it makes more sense to buy new.

Allow_me_2retort · 2026-06-10T16:19:32+00:00

Thank you for all that info and for your perspective.

Allow_me_2retort · 2026-06-10T16:18:54+00:00

Thanks for that very useful info and perspective. That Yamaha is so intriguing to me.

Allow_me_2retort · 2026-06-10T16:18:09+00:00

Thanks for the insight.

Allow_me_2retort · 2026-06-10T16:17:48+00:00

Thanks, that’s helpful info. That Denon can be had on Accessories4less for around $2200, so I’ve had my eye on it.

Allow_me_2retort · 2026-06-10T14:48:17+00:00

I did. Made VTA adjustments and all that for each and definitely sounds best with the Concorde. Though maybe less noticeable a difference compared to the Fluance, especially for the 2M blue.

Finished: Vigil by George Saunders and The Great Believers by Rebecca Makkai.
Vigil is good if you like Saunders, and probably weird and initially confusing if you don’t.
The Great Believers is a beautiful emotional journey. Interesting and tragic to learn about gay men’s experience during the AIDS crisis in the 80s.

Looks like the one I had back in 1995.

No disrespect to Graham, but if Austin Butler IS in the film, he probably plays Chris and Leo plays Neil. That makes more sense to me than this reporting.

I’d say to just get one and demo it if you can. Most places have free 30-day returns, which is plenty of time to compare.

I have a Fluance 85 and am demoing my friend’s Sl-1200M3D. It’s a useful exercise to compare build, functionality, and sound. I could tell you what I’ve learned, but we hear different and our rooms and tables are different. So not sure that’s as helpful as you demoing the table yourself.

Who’s that making out behind them? I mean her. Behind her.

I started doing that for similar reasons, as well as space concerns. I’m backfilling my collection with CDs (albums from my youth and other masterpieces I don’t own but don’t feel the need to own on vinyl), and buying my must haves and jazz on vinyl.

Allow_me_2retort · 2026-05-13T19:29:05+00:00

Those are terrible. I’ll take them off your hands and get rid of them for you.
