exactly - and is that proven track record due to source material? since we do not know the correlation is spurious - but since this is basically a consumer guide its understandable...

this is interesting, semi-useful but spurious, regarding engineers at least - nothing spoken of with regard to master tapes, wherein we have no idea what the sound is like on the tape - they could just be doing the best they could with what they had, and that's no reason to stack rank. I get...

have these been issued? 'two is one' electric funk side is one of my favorites and would be interesting to see what KG did with it - and id totally sell my JP original if bettered....the others I don't listen to much so not worth the squeeze...but Larry Ridley! Take my money right now!!!

wow...interesting...glad to hear they are finally making something of this...wonder what condition the tapes are in...and why couldn't they do Winter In America, my original is noisy....

ok...so I had some 'meetings' this afternoon and have now been able to dial-in (for my level of nerd and vision) the setup and have been playing music for the last few hours... so its really a beautiful piece of kit and it sounds real good - ill say the same thing, it gets out of the way yet...

should be soon...the 103r might be the right fit, but was a f'n pain to mount...any other recs out there, think lower compliance maybe best - much appreciated for thoughts, tia!

ok...the 5105 is here and up and running, quick and dirty setup....sq review to come, as needs tweaking but immediate reaction is that it just gets out of the way this is a luxury item, I personally love the way it looks, and haters can hate, but this thing is fucking nice and I have a feickert...

at your own research, I remember reading about this company link - and will probably be using them for my luxman integrated which is 100v when I head back (or sell the fcker) - not affiliated, never used, buyer beware, etc...etc...

no, this is particular for Japanese outlets as there are no 3 prongs

this is a real thing...im not an expert but you might want to look at step down transformers or at a minimum try and test for speed, not using the strobe and see if the unit gets warm - while the variation in voltage is small, technics is very communicative here about units being not made for...

this must be a Japanese model - I just ignore it here as there are only 2 prong outlets here and we have to use cheaters for anything 3 prong - but if it is Japanese then its 100v (trust me I live in Tokyo) - you may want to check the back of your unit

ive actually never seen a Hana here...im not sure what their Japanese distribution is and if its an export only brand

its in Tokyo with me...but if you were here I'd give you a screaming deal and the included cart is unused.... have to say the le son SL1 may be talking to me but $500 just seems pricey...I can do an AT OC9XSH for basically the same price here - I really struggle spending more that that on carts...

I may have done a thing...I definitely don't need another turntable but a deal came across for a new Levinson 5105 that was too good to pass up....need cart recommendations...will be feeding my Andover spin stage into my luxman integrated...help me...ugh. may sell 1500c to fund cart....and I...

this had been on my radar for awhile but cost and seemingly sold out...however I just picked this up sealed, but in the used bin at Disk Union for half the cost (no idea why it was on discount) and can say this is really incredible - the format seems strange from the normal square format (to...

File under J-Jazz Adjacent: Yupituru Records 'West Coast Jazz Today' Series from the early 80s. 30 titles released between 1980-84 from serious legends (Sonny Stitt, Herb Ellis, etc), for the time contemporary heavy hitters (George Cables) and some lesser knowns (Armen Donelian, Milcho Leviev)...

actually went out to see Ogawa-san today at his place in Koenji...hes really excited about these, and I mentioned that I have the earlier reissue of Megalopolis on Think! - he said that this new one is recut and remastered (from digital) but that he thinks its sounds better...we shall see as...

couple big ones coming... https://www.hmv.co.jp/en/artist_Joe-Henderson_000000000002215/item_Henderson%E2%80%99s-Habiliment-Live-At-The-Junk_15473603 https://www.hmv.co.jp/en/artist_%E6%9D%BE%E6%9C%AC%E6%B5%A9-%E5%B8%82%E5%B7%9D%E7%A7%80%E7%94%B7_000000000347456/item_Megalopolis_15473601

he's one of my favorites for sure, I like these records more than the Ryo Fukui sessions (Horror!!!) and all his 80s sessions are more easily available and reasonable and quite good (SQ for sure) - piranha has become very hard to find and pricey for sure...
