    I absolutely love my CS 5000! I picked mine up about 16 years ago and it’s been my main turntable until just recently when I replaced it with a Technics SL-1200GR2. The CS 5000 now has a new home on the system in […]

    I’ve had a Dual CS5000 for years! Still pristine and functioning like a new table.

    We have the Paradigm 800Fs and just recently added the X10 subwoofer which has been an absurd positive change for us. I’d never had a sub before and it’s a monstrous difference.

    The LS50’s are ridiculously difficult to beat at their price point. We’ve sold these to sales reps who sell other speaker brands! LOL

    matonanjin started the topic recommendations for a cartridge upgrade in the forum Gear Chat 3 months, 1 week ago

    Everything I’ve read or seen on places such as Youtube videos say that the first and best upgrade for an upgrade to one’s audio system is a cartridge upgrade. I have a Technics SL-1900 that I have had for decades. Yes, decades. I got it in either 1980 or 1981.

    I don’t have a routine. I am new here and that’s what I’m here to learn. I have records from the 60’s and 70’s that need cleaning and I have to finally do just that.
