It's a fine match.  There are a lot of folks running the M97 on the SL-1200 out there.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Wow, I love the asthetics of this thing!  Really brings me back to the console I grew up with, tubes and all. :wheel:

Yeah it's cool. I wonder what the speakers are in those, they look like Omega Super 6s.

I've seen a lot of companies doing consoles like that lately and it's got me wondering how big the market for something like that really is...

So thanks to struggles's heads up, I sprang for a cheap Nitty Gritty on Audiogon that just arrived yesterday. Anyone have a favorite solution or cleaning brush that they like? I'm looking at the MoFi brush and MoFi deep cleaner which seem generally well-liked. Make a case for your favorite solution before I order!

Anyway, stopped over at Amoeba yesterday and had some great finds. The best of which is this Japanese mono pressing of Clifford Brown and Max Roach for $7. It was in great shape too:

Nice, let us know what you think about it. I have used DD/Mofi brushes and the standard no-rinse solutions, never really had any problem with anything, I am going to try the Walker system.

I am really happy with this Carnegie Madrigal 2 I picked up, also found an older R100h for a good price, will listen to it over the weekend.

Today I stumbled across a brand new Kenwood 770d, original owner, never used. A bit hard to believe but he was certainly telling the truth, set it up briefly before leaving town and am really happy with it. Going to mess around with it when I get back.

Brand new, lucky you...

Heads up if anyone was interested in the Beatles stereo box set, it is on sale today for $199 CAD on Amazon.ca.

There were issues with the first US Rainbo pressings, but I just confirmed with customer service that they are shipping the EU boxes pressed at Optimal. He said if for some reason I receive a US box, then I could exchange it for no charge.

Just ordered a set, and it came out to $211 shipped.
