    Sony PS-B80 and Aiwa LP-3000 turntables
    Pioneer SA-9800Mk2 amp
    Technics RS-9900 cassette deck
    Technics SH-9020 VU meter unit
    Leak 2075 loudspeakers
    Possibly an original Cambridge CD1 CD player complete with Quality Assurance Module. If not, then my Marantz CD94 again.

    I'll also be bringing along the following turntables for anyone who wants to hear them -

    Empire 598/Denon DL103
    Technics SL-110/SME 3009/Shure M75ED
    ADC Accutrac 4000
    ADC Accutrac +6

    Go on - grab those tickets back now. How can you resist?!

    Besides, if you don't come, Alex the stud will be left 'entertaining' all the waitresses himself, and his chat-up lines are WAAAAAAY too cheesy for even the biggest fan of fromage!! They have to be saved from that terrible fate somehow!!!

    Hey Marco! I just set up my newly acquired Ditto 66`S!!! Nothing but LOVE!!!!
    Question? Should they be setup straight on my timber floor or should put something under Them???
    I have a suspicion that these big girls matched with a little sub are creating to much vibration for my turntable?

    Very short stands would be best, I'd think, Brett.
    Surprised you think they need help in the bass.

    My god! Subs with Ditton 66s?

    Exercise great caution, that much bass could create a wormhole and suck you into another galaxy.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    ....or be full of waffle due in part to being badly integrated, which just serves to set your floorboards off into a singing, ringing symphony of nastiness!

    Just a guess.

    The sub is on very low.... I think I'm substituting the poor quality of my turn table..? Could someone suggest a quality TT that doesn't loose bass quality. I'm really needing help to get set up. I'm only interested in quality se and hand components.
